Callum, thanks so much for your lovely review! This is so nice to hear on a Monday. I (Andy) don't often get name checked in reviews so you've made my day and I'll make sure to share this with the wider team (and give Simon the kudos he deserves too!). Likewise it's been a pleasure dealing with you and your property - we love working with great landlords like you :) Hope life is going well for you since the move. ...
