We probably viewed over 100 houses mostly with the big names, foxtons, gibbs etc non of which suited what we wanted. Our budget was fit for a nice size 3 bedroom house in Ruislip London area. We viewed one house with Lakin and it was the right house. Lakin in particular Molly showed us the property, I would say they are very loyal to their clients and look after them well, they are not the type to play tricks or mess around, they are serious sellers and take their work very seriously. We had three viewings, put our final bid down, it got accepted and the ball started rolling. We were first time buyers, and every step moving forward was explained and updates given almost everyday on progress until the final exchange. Inside this period we had builders who needed to enter the building and Molly/Devon let us enter the building on several occasions to allow for measurements for the new bathrooms we were going to have fitted even though exchange was not done yet. Some weeks later we exchanged, and I picked up the keys on the agreed date. It was smooth, and we did not feel pressured to buy, I think this is what set Lakin apart from the rest, they dont push you, and that was key. When picking up the keys I met Chris Lakin, a gentlemen for sure, thanks for making it a great experience and thanks for the champagne, went down a treat ;)
