As the years rolled by the company was passed down to his sons, so the focus of the business changed towards the selling of property as well.

Good - not the cheapest but worked with us to a number we were more than reasonable to progress with. We feel like we got value for money (I'm guessing not may people say that about Estate Agents but when you see good service, you don't mind paying for it).

No fees information available
Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.

Complaints Procedure

We have an in-house complaints procedure through which we endeavour to resolve any issues direct with our management team. If, however any client feels that this is not sufficient, then complaints are directed to our umbrella company, Xperience. They too have a procedure for handling complaints. In addition, we are members of the Property Ombudsman Scheme.
