That means straight-talking, honesty, and doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.

Phone calls promptly returned. Turning up on time. Doing the paperwork. Being polite and friendly.

And while our team are enthusiastic, energetic and empowered to make things happen, they know that dishonesty - such as inflating an asking price to secure an instruction - simply won't be tolerated.

It's not fancy. It's just frank.

The agent fees felt like they were reasonable compared to average agency fees. Do watch out for the extra VAT costs which can be conveniently unmentioned
