In mid-February this year, we decided to sell our family home, along with my mother's home and make a joint purchase for the whole family. We contacted Frosts estate agent and John Sullivan arranged to do an evaluation on mums property in St Albans. He reassured us of Frost's abilities and professionalism and as such, we requested that John also evaluated our property in Markyate.
Our houses were put on the market mid-April (the delay was only due to us being sure that we wanted to go ahead and sell) and we both held successful open days – finding buyers on both properties.
The team at Frost estate agents (Harpenden and St Albans) were accessible at all times and extremely helpful ensuring that we understood the buying/selling process. Dan Kirk at the St Albans branch was professional and informative at all stages – from initial valuation, right through to completion. He was also able to offer reassurance when we encountered unforeseen events (such as one of the sales temporarily falling though, and problems arising from the conveyancing). He offered a very personal service and definitely seemed to care that everything was going to plan.
Our sales progressor, Stephen Key was also instrumental in ensuring everything went to plan and was always well informed as to the status of both properties and their respective chains.
We also used Frosts financial advisor, David Tatnall as recommended by Frosts and had no regrets doing so. David was professional and patient at every stage of the process and always found a way around potential loopholes that arose due our circumstances (self-employment, gifted deposits and so on). We cannot commend David highly enough as he always made us feel that nothing was too much trouble for him.
Our overall experience with Frosts Estate agent has been extremely positive and we would not hesitate to either use them again in the future, or recommend them to friends and family.
