We are delighted that you have agreed a sale on your property, we know how upsetting it was for you when the sale we agreed fell through earlier this year.
We are however disappointed to hear that you feel our service wasn’t up to our normal high standard. Complacency is not a word we hear from our clients but we will certainly investigate your comments and address any issues in relation to our service where we feel necessary . ...

No fees information available
Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
Complaints Procedure
1. The initial point of contact for all complaints is either Emma Daffurn (sales) or Mark Farebrother (lettings) who can be contacted at the branch. The complainant should be provided with their full name, address and contact details.
2. Even if initially made orally, all complainants should be asked, if at all possible, to submit their own complaint in writing.
3. Emma or Mark will acknowledge any complaint promptly, within 24 hours, with a formal written outcome being submitted to the complainant within 7 working days.
4. If the complainant remains dissatisfied, the complaint will be passed to Jamie Smart (Director) who will conduct a speedy, separate and detached review of the complaint.
5. Following this in-house review, a final written statement including any offer made, will be sent to the complainant.
6. Where this still does not satisfy the customer, this becomes the “Deadlock Letter” and will be accompanied by details of how the matter can be referred to The Property Ombudsman (TPO), Milford House, 43-55 Milford Street, Salisbury, Wiltshire, SP1 2BP. Tel: 01722 333306
