I found Nicky so very helpful. She kept me informed on the property I was interested in at all times and made sure I was aware of new properties that came on the market within my buying criteria straight away.Whenever I spoke to her she was informative and friendly. She certainly is the nicest estate agent I have ever come across.

Thank you for your support Sarah Graham

I am in the process of buying a house and I couldn't have done without the help of Sarah Graham! She has been always extremely helpful and supportive throughout the process. Sarah always understood my busy schedule and made everything smooth and stress-free as a first-time buyer. She quickly recommended me all of the services needed for the buying process and I will always be thankful for her help. Thank you!

Unethical Company

I would not recommend this landlord or organisation based on my experience. When we moved in, the property was not prepared as promised, and many serious issues required attention immediately. Despite raising these concerns, the landlord did not respond to complaints or engage in any meaningful dialogue to resolve them. Additionally, outstanding bills from before our tenancy had not been cleared, which caused further complications and debt collectors. Communication was poor throughout, and key assurances made to us were not followed through. Based on this, I would not buy or rent a property from this organisation, as I found their approach unprofessional, unreliable and unethical.
