GoogleSo transparent, trustworthy and professional. Ben and the team managed to salvage our sale that we otherwise would have lost due to the deceitful behaviour of another agent. We bought thorough them and it was nothing but smooth sailing. They kept us updated the whole way and canβt thank them enough. Will definitely use them again for future sales and hopefully purchases.

Thank you Janet. You and your husband were a pleasure to deal with, both in selling the property to you, and for you. When you were let down by a previous buyer we were only too happy to roll up our sleeves and help move furniture. So pleased to help guide this sale across the line.

GoogleReceived fantastic service from the first phone call to the Video walk through to the physical viewing of the property and then to holding everyone's hand to get the purchase through quickly to avoid the Stamp duty increase. Buying at a distance during these times was always going to be challenging, but Chris and Stella did a Great Job. Thanks Very Much

GoogleNot a plain sailing move with issues at the top of the chain. Lancasters work hard to facilitate our move and we got there in the end, although exchange and completion on both properties went to the wire!

Thank you, Keith.
You kept your nerve through a tricky onward chain and stayed focused right to the end. Our sales progression team were only too happy to step in and fill in the gaps when the other agents in the chain buried their heads. That persistence from you and us (team!) is what ultimately got you moved.
Thanks again for trusting Lancasters

FacebookWe set the team quite a challenge, to sell two properties to be completed on the same day for an onward purchase! Nothing was too much trouble, I can't fault them and in particular Stella has been outstanding with her communication and reassurance at every stage. There were a number of times I needed to 'vent' due to hold ups outside everyone's control and she took it all in her stride with good humour. I would not hesitate to recommend them. They did exactly what they said they would and more besides.

FacebookBen helped me so much while I was abroad and left in the lurch by my letting agent. With no hidden agenda, he arranged for all to be organised so I was able to sell and get the best price for my flat. After this I signed with Lancasters and he sold it on the first viewing for a very good price.
Donβt be tempted by wide boys promising the earth. Lancasters are professional, calm and have integrity.
I 100% recommend Ben Hollis, Stella and his team.

Definitely worth all 5 stars and more and any family or friends of mine who live on the island that want to sell or buy a property, they will definitely be getting my recommendations to use this fantastic company. π
A little back story,
Lancaster's sold my flat in Ryde and it's recently finally completed last week after 8 months in the selling process. Ben, Chris & Stella are the absolute best and have the perseverance and motivation to complete any challenges that are thrown at them in the sales process. They are all very hardworking, dedicated and show passion to their jobs at Lancaster's and their customer service level is second to none. ππ
Thank you once again! π
