Top rate service from Dominique and her team. I am so glad that I switched to F & C. Communication was excellent throughout. Dominique's experience and knowledge was invaluable. Every viewing was with a sound potential buyer, there were no time wasters. I received prompt, helpful feedback after every viewing. All of the team - Lara, Matt and Mitch were helpful and efficient. I have sold six properties over the years and this was definitely the best experience I have had with an estate agent. Highly recommended.

Matt and the team were phenomenal in facilitating the sale of our flat in Hove, helping us navigate various complexities. It was a pleasure being supported by Matt on, at times, a daily basis and his calm, pragmatic approach made a huge difference in some stressful times. They also went above and beyond on a particular matter which impressed us hugely and demonstrated that it's not just about the bottom line. We will be returning to Fine & Country when we're next selling again (hopefully not for 10+ years though!).

Hackney and Leigh estate agents in Keswick have sold Mums flat and as executors we were very pleased with the way it was all handled. Simon and his team at the office were always available to help and support us throughout a difficult time in our lives. We had never sold a property before and we were able to pick up the phone at any time or call into the office for help support and advice which we were very grateful. We would have no hesitation in recommending Simon and the team in the Keswick office to anyone selling a property and we are sure that they would always give as much support to any of their clients as they did to us. Thank you Sheila Rona and Heather

After our initial contact with Nick, which was very positive and informative, we dealt mainly with Simon. Simon was brilliant to deal with, he kept us fully updated from the beginning of the process to exchange of contracts in a calm and reassuring way. If we ever need the services of an estate agent in Keswick again, we would look no further than Hackney & Leigh, the whole team led by Simon are exceptional. Thank you Zoe, Linda & Eric

Thankyou to Nick and Simon for their extremely professional service during our house purchase. They both went above and beyond any expectations that I had from any estate agent, offering advice and guidance throughout what turned out to be a challenging process through no fault of theirs. Their experience and expertise really came through, and their support helped at a personal level and not just the professional level. They took the time to understand our situation and were always available to provide reassurance and solutions to any issues we had along the way. Without their dedication and over and above efforts, it would have been incredibly difficult to get through the process of purchasing our family home, and without their help I'm not sure if would have happened at all. I cannot recommend their services highly enough. If you are looking for an estate agent who genuinely cares and will go the extra mile, Nick and Simon and the team at Hackney and Leigh are the way to go. Thank you again for helping us find and secure our forever home and we are extremely grateful for all of the help you have given us. Matt Scott

We recently sold a property in Keswick through Hackney and Leigh and had excellent service from Simon Bennett throughout. He helped us with numerous issues and gave us good advice during the time the property was being marketed. Simon was always very prompt in dealing with queries and returning calls - even when we were out of the country. He was very pleasant and professional at all times and we would highly recommend his services. In fact the whole team at H &L were excellent. Thank you.

From start to finish Lawrence Antony Homes were amazing. A very professional, caring team. From selling our property at the very start of this emotional rollercoaster to handing over keys at the end, we were kept updated at every stage. Andrea was an absolute star ! She was always at the end of the phone when needed, chasing everything up, so organised & on the ball, we couldnt have done it without you. Antony, Andrea & Mia, thankyou so much for all of your help during the stressful times. We got there in the end ! Jo & Richard

Hackney and Leigh have been fantastic supporting us throughout our house purchase. Simon has supported us from day 1 and stayed in constant touch, keep us updated throughout and was generally great to deal with, along with the rest of the team! (Especially Angela helping me tell my husband that this WAS the house for us!!!) I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Hackney & Leigh Keswick to anyone!

Hackney & Leigh did an excellent marketing job selling our cottage very quickly and close to asking price in challenging market conditions. Photos and brochure were outstanding and we would have no hesitation in recommending them to potential sellers. The team in the Keswick office were professional, responsive and always available when we needed to contact them. Many thanks Paul and Wendy

I would like to thoroughly recommend Simon Bennett from the Keswick office for handling my recent sale. He was so professional, friendly, approachable and keep me informed throughout the process. He dealt with any queries and concerns quickly & efficiently. I've never had such a great service from an estate agent before I'm so delighted that I choose Nick & Simon from Hackney & Leigh.

I had an excellent experience with Hackney & Leigh in Keswick throughout the sale of my property. From start to finish, the team was professional, responsive, and supportive, making what can often be a stressful process feel well managed. A special mention goes to Simon Bennett, who was outstanding throughout. He maintained excellent communication with both myself and the buyers, ensuring everyone was kept informed and any issues were dealt with promptly. His proactive approach, attention to detail, and commitment to seeing the sale through to completion made a real difference. I would highly recommend Hackney & Leigh to anyone looking to buy or sell property in the area. Their professionalism, expertise, and customer service were first-class.

We were the buyers of a property in Keswick, however Hackney and Leigh, particularly Simon were amazing. From start to finish the service we received was top class. We were moving from York and didnt know the area, but Simon helped with sourcing relevant trades to do surveys, etc and couldnt have been more helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for them. A massive thank you.

Exceptional customer service from start to finish, Matt Higgins made what could have been a complicated house purchase run very smoothly. Matt provided excellent communication throughout the process and really went above and beyond, creating a seamless purchase from start to finish. Couldn't recommend more.

As first time buyers in the UK, I have to say, the service provided by Hackney & Leigh's Keswick team was fantastic. From our first viewing - to making our offer - to obtaining the reams of necessary forms - to the completion of the sale, Simon and Dawn (and Nick, too) were a most pleasant, professional, and helpful team. They always kept the interests of their clients, the sellers, at the fore while also making us, the buyers, feel valued. They kept us informed along the way and provided a gentle nudge when needed to keep the process moving. To put it simply, they were brilliant. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

The service we received from Fine & Country was truly exceptional. Right from our first encounter with Dominique until the day we completed the sale, we were consistently impressed. What set this experience apart was the fact that we never had to chase anyone or correct any errors along the way. Having a specific price in mind that we wanted to achieve, Dominique played a pivotal role in helping us not only meet but exceed our expectations. Her meticulous attention to detail, deep understanding of the market, and exceptional communication skills all contributed to this success. One of the standout aspects of Dominique's service was her ability to filter out time-wasting inquiries, ensuring that only serious buyers were brought into the picture. This level of screening gave us the confidence to move forward with our chosen buyers, knowing they were genuinely interested. Even when we encountered a few hiccups with our seller, Dominique was there to navigate the situation seamlessly. She kept our buyers well-informed and ensured that the chain remained intact, demonstrating her commitment to a smooth and stress-free transaction. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Dominique and Fine & Country to anyone considering selling their property in the Brighton and Hove area. Their level of professionalism and dedication to their clients is truly unmatched.

Matt Higgins is hands down the best estate agent I've ever worked with. He also has land valuation qualifications and skills which in our case really came in handy as we had a house to sell that wasn't like any other in our road. Matt was able to give us a great valuation (when frankly the other estate agents weren't sure). In the end, we had 5 offers with high quality buyers and a quick sale at a price that exceeded our expectations. Added to this are his great negotiation and communication skills. The rest of the team (I worked mainly with Dominique & Lara) were really good also and the marketing materials are a cut above the rest. Mainly I worked with Matt though and I won't be going anywhere else in future. Extremely highly recommended !

We have just bought a house through Fine and Country in Hove. Matthew Higgins has give us exceptional service. Over the years we have not had the best of experiences with estate agents, so I am very heartened to be able to recommend Matthew with no reservations. He was honest, friendly, helpful and dealt with any hiccoughs effectively, liaising with solicitors and our buyers when necessary and keeping us informed all the way through what is a stressful and expensive procedure. Thank you Matt.
