We have dealt with Ben several times and have always found him to be very helpful. His honest advice has been very beneficial in both the purchase and rental of our properties.

I have recommended potential sellers to use C&N. All staff are eager and Christina is especially helpful; this was hugely appreciated when it’s something as nerve wracking as purchasing a house.
Thank you....

Absolutely awful and unprofessional. We had an arranged time for a 5:30 valuation. No-one turned up despite confirming at 5pm with them. 6:30pm and noone is here, and no call or email to cancel. Beyond disgusting.
If I can't trust you with a valuation, there's no ...
