We were delighted with the service from Meades from start to finish
.
Having viewed the property - which had previously been tenanted - Michael Whitby suggested a programme of improvements which could lead to a higher selling price. This included plastering over the artex ceilings, upgrading the bathroom, complete redecoration and new carpets throughout. He then obtained quotes for this work for us to select, and he then oversaw the work.
On completion of the improvement work the marketing strategy was to have a weekend of viewings - by appointment. This was very successful and resulted in 20 offers being made and we sold at considerably above the asking price.
Great service all round - many thanks
