From the moment we called Preston Baker to come and value our property we knew that we would be using them as our Estate agent...telephone manner, a genuine interest in ourselves and our property and asking questions that no other EA even touched upon. Kathy was beyond helpful with lots of little personal touches along the way which is another thing that set this company apart from others. They communicate the whole time, putting you at ease and reassuring you whilst answering questions that to others would seem trivial. From start to finish..yes we have just exchanged in only 11 weeks! we have had a fantastic experience and will really miss this company and it's wonderful staff, so if you are hesitating please don't confuse their professionalism with pushiness as this is not the case, they are experts in every sense of the word. Three weeks, full asking price and house went up for sale in October! says it all really.
Comment on agent fees
The fees were the same as 2 other agents who came to value our property. If you are thinking of going down the online route, don't ...you get what you pay for and more with this company.

Very expensive, may be in line with York where Preston Baker came from but this is humble Doncaster! Takes a lot to push them down at all and even then they won't move much. They ask for an awful lot for what they give. We paid our solicitor about half the amount and he did about twice as much work.

Good Afternoon Wilma,
Firstly let me thank you for your feedback and apologies if you felt the service delivered by us was not to the expected level, I will investigate the matter. Preston Baker also trade in Leeds and Selby which have more similarities than York to Doncaster's market place and our fees are representative of the service and result we look to deliver. Preston Baker are ranked 7th I the entire UK for customer service and were voted the 'best small agency In the UK' by the Sunday ...
