The company set up at the start of the recession in 2008 and throughout the challenging economic times has grown to a 5 office network that includes all property services including a financial services division.

Our success is built from doing the ordinary things extraordinarily well, as the judges in the 2012 Estate Agent of the Year awards commented. We focus on regular communication with buyers and sellers to intelligently match the two together using a combination of cutting edge technology and old fashioned hard work.

What agent could do to change your mind?
Lower your prices - ‚£250 to sign a flat is far to high, that's 50% of my monthly rental cost. After doing my research in Leeds with regards to agency prices I found yours on average was ‚£100 more expense which is crazy. I didn't see or feel any value for money when using your services.
