It took us a while to sell a late family member's property due to market conditions, time of year, and a first sale fall through (buyers simply changed their minds a couple of weeks in - as can happen) but we made it in the end.
Our experience with Melvyn Danes has been excellent. Starting with an initial meeting, getting details published, organising viewings (all of these painless and no work for us) and constructive reassurances along the way from Sam, Lucy and Vanessa. Communication with the team was really good. Emails and phone calls at each stage, viewing etc etc. A friendly and personable and experienced team. We knew we were in good hands.
In particular, during the last couple of weeks we had some challenges in the chain and slow responses from solicitors etc etc. which made for a bit of a stressful time as we approached exchange.
Sam was our main contact in the last few weeks and we had several emails and phone calls and she was brilliant each time. She worked hard behind the scenes using her experience and contacts to try and move things along as quickly as possible and I suspect if it hadn't been for her interventions, it would have taken a few more weeks to exchange/complete!
These days, people sometimes complain about “traditional” estate agents fees etc vs DIY or other cheaper online routes, but I have to say, we feel it was good value for us particularly given how Sam helped get us there over the last couple of weeks.
So in conclusion, a big thanks to the team and particularly Sam for a positive experience.
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Melvyn Danes to others in future.
