His valuation was accurate and produced viable buyers.
He responded to queries on within the hour and kept things moving forwards.

As of 23/05/2019, we have achieved an average of 100.19% of asking price for our vendors, in an average timescale of just 16 days!! This means that on average we negotiate an extra 3.79% of asking price for our clients when compared to the national average of 96.4%.

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
Should you wish to make a complaint, a copy of the Agent’s Internal Complaints Handling Procedure can be obtained from the Agent.
