Damian sold our house remarkably quickly and at a good price after we had spent many months with a local agent whose only answer to their own poor performance was to urge us repeatedly to lower our asking price. Damian thought our house was worth pretty much the same as we did and achieved nearly the full asking price.
Comment on agent fees
Very reasonable (and lower than our previous agent was asking).

Our house purchase was a bit bumpy, but through no fault of Oswick's, and when we needed their support Tracey was fantastic.

Damian and team made my dreams happen!
I first met Damian when I viewed the house that I eventually bought, he was polite professional and not in my face, although I wasn't his customer he kept me well informed during the buying process, keeping the stress levels down. As a result of dealing with Oswick Ltd whilst buying my house I decided to use them to sell my other house, which worked out very well, as usual great communications very impressive photos (far better than other estate agents) an ...

I first met Damian when I viewed the house that I eventually bought, he was polite professional and not in my face, although I wasn't his customer he kept me well informed during the buying process, keeping the stress levels down. As a result of dealing with Oswick Ltd whilst buying my house I decided to use them to sell my other house, which worked out very well, as usual great communications very impressive photos (far better than other estate agents) and floor plan. My house was sold very quickly and I got a great price and as usual during the selling process good communications and minimal stress. I would recommend Oswick Ltd to everyone including my frail old Grandma. Thank's Damian and team.
