Fantastic service, Alex and team were highly professional and went out of their way to assist. I have been watching Best's listings on Rightmove for over 10 years and the advertising is excellent and a very high standard. Alex is a brilliant negotiator and spot on with valuation and projection. This is the very BEST estate agent in our area and I highly recommend them and would only use them in the future.

I would highly recommend this company. Terry was always happy to answer my queries as my solictors and mortgage advisor wasn't great to say the least. Terry was always a email away helping to liase between ourselves and the vendors of the property. Being first time buyers Terry has helped us along the way. We had viewed a couple of properties with bests before we found the right house. Thank you for all your help we really appreciate it.
