Really can't fault them - EXCELLENT SERVICE! A worthy 5 stars and we rarely say that of any business. We have dealt with the letting team at Charles Dickens for a number of years and ALWAYS find them all very professional, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Communication is very good, advice realistic and practical. They understand what we are looking for as caring landlords and do a very good job in matching tenants to property. We have no hesitation in recommending their services (which by the way are good value) and most definitely cannot say that about many others we have used previously.
