Bourne found a buyer within a reasonable time span and I was content with the price achieved. The sale was complicated by a chain of 7, and I was particularly satisfied by the way Bourne appoint specific people to 'chase' and follow through the chain process ...

Thank you for taking the time to write a review about us, I do apologise for the time it has taken to respond but we don't use this website so have only just noticed it. I am sorry to hear that you felt let down by not being able to view the property in question, we were fortunate to achieve the guide price pre the property going onto the various web portals which meant there were sadly multiple buyers who missed out. We did suggest to the vendor to continue with viewings to see if we could exce ...

I would urge you to contact me as the MD of Bourne as a matter of urgency. My contact number is 01372 468636, we take all complaints seriously especially of this nature. I can assure you that NONE of my staff are racist and would suggest that your refer this matter to the police immediately. We are unable to intervene in neighbour disputes or legal matters and when evidence is provided we will always offer support and advice and direct to the authorities to assist. I am keen to know what you wou ...

Whilst you may wish to agree with Paul's comments they are two years ago and as company over 2500 completions have been completed.

I used Bourne (ex-Keats) for rental management between 2014-7 and subsequently for sale in 2017.
During 2014-7, the rental management team reported on issues and provided timely maintenance on the rented property. In addition, they provided an excellent shield of protection against an unreasonable residental association ...
