We come from HK and just recently arrive UK at the end of April.
We are lucky that we can met Colchester Martin & Co. , they help us to rent the house rapidly.
They give us the details about the property and let us understand the renting process in UK. I think it is very important for the newcomers.
Thank you Alex, Bryn and Corrine, you are so friendly, affable and patience to help us so that we can rent the property smoothly.
Excellent experience!
*** We felt warm when we enter the office in the first meet with the staffs in this branch. To us, it is a very good start.
