Would like to say how easy it was to deal with David, met me at the house I wanted to look at, knew plenty about the property, very easy to talk to, not at all pushy or demanding, gave me plenty of info as to how to move forward with my application, would recommend anyone to use him if they wanted to use your company
Comment on agent fees
Although I was more than happy with the fees I paid, compared to some others, they are a little higher, but not off putting

We paid the top 1.5 % for what turned out to be a pityful excuse of customer service. Will never use them or recommend them to anyone - cheaper options out there. Dont waste your money on them, youll likely be very disappointed.
