I would not hesitate to recommend Simon Bright. Helpful and good advice throughout the sale process. Having tried two previous agents to sell my house that were appallingly bad, my only regret is not approaching Townends first. Thank you!

At last minute my rent went up and my contract changed. I didn`t like that some people at the Agent stated a clear position on the Landlord`s side, when they should be neutral. If it wasn`t for Mohammed and my urgency to move, I would have cancelled the business.
