I have recently bought a property through Howards Estate Agents.
I found the staff were friendly, professional, took the time to listen, knew what they were doing and were extremely helpful.
Their communications throughout the transaction were first class and this was a major factor for me.
I would definitely recommend this Agency and I will have no reservations whatsoever in using their services again.

In a difficult market, it took a while and a drop in price before a concrete offer was received.

We are really sorry and surprised to hear this, we understand that although we were very prompt preparing all marketing, pro-active in achieving a sale for your property in great time and at the asking price, on this isolated occasion it seems that somehow we appear to have 'dropped the ball' in terms of overall service and communication to satisfy you as our valued client, which I must say is extremely rare from this office and I can only apologise. We do try our very best and work hard for all ...
