Craig grew up in the Stoke area and attended the local secondary school, now known as Stoke Damerel Community College. Both Jack & Craig are also ex-serving members of the Royal Navy.

The Company was named after “Cross Keys House” which is the name of the building where the Company has been housed since our inception. It seemed appropriate to keep the spirit of the building alive by adopting the name for the Estate Agency. The name “Cross Keys House 1905” can be seen at top of the building to this day and dates back to when it first operated as a public house. The property that stood on the current site previously was the “Cross Keys Hotel” that was sadly lost to a fire at the end of the 19th Century.

As I'd used cross keys previously and was pleased with the service, when we lost our father I had no hesitation in suggesting to my brother we use them for the sale of my fathers bungalow. This was a difficult time for the family but I felt all the staff we met or spoke with, from the first valuation appointment to the sale negotiation and keeping us up to date with the sale progression made it as pain free as possible. Many thanks from Elaine and Andy ...

Hi Tim & Lisa, Thank you both so much for leaving such a positive review, I do appreciate your experience was a very stressful one but hopefully the property you have been able to proceed onto has made it all worth it. If you do ever decide to move again we'd be delighted to have you back! With any luck would be a lot more straight forward. The buyers passed on their thanks also for how clean the property was and for the bottle of Champagne! All the best. ...
