Thanks for the review Steven. Its not often we get comments from buyers and I can also honestly say you and Eloise were a complete pleasure to deal with also. I'm so glad you bought this property as its drop dead gorgeous, and I'm sure you will love living there. I'd also like to take you up on your offer, so will be especially pleased to hear from you in a few years when you decide to move up the ladder. All the best in wishes for your new home guys.

Hello R.D, can you tell me specifically what property you were enquiring about please? The issue we have is that we are a small Company and every week we have numerous calls about properties that are already noted on Zoopla and Rightmove as let. Unfortunately for people that call about let properties they cannot be prioritised over callers that wish to see active stock. Furthermore, if you were enquiring with specific needs, IE you have your rent paid using Housing Allowance and we ha ...

Hello Mrs G, I'm really glad you decided to use us as we're aware there were more established agents vying for your business! Hopefully our fee and the thought that you could save over £8000 swung things in our favour! I always felt your house would sell easily as it was located in quite possibly the best road in Honor Oak. I didn't quite expect the competition for it and 4 buyers going to the wire together. However this turn of events ensured you were able to get the very best offer p ...

I'm really glad that you felt the photography had a positive impact in finding your buyer.
