After a long search of the available estate agents we decided to instruct McCartney to sell our house. We were thoroughly impressed throughout. Matt (and Arron) were extremely professional, highly knowledgeable and worked very hard to ensure the sale went through smoothly. Everyone was always kept updated throughout. Many thanks. I would definitely recommend them

Matt and the McCartney team were great from start to finish. We were first-time buyers, and Matt kept us informed throughout the process, and made sure everything went very smoothly. We found Matt and the team to be very proactive, with clear and timely communication whenever needed.

If your looking to sell your house I cannot recommend Mcartneys enough, particularly Matt. He has sold two houses for me over the past two years. I originally ignored all the bad stuff I've heard and put my first house up for sale with purple bricks (just to save a little bit of money) only to be sold false promises along side a massive lack of communication which was incredibly infuriation. After a while I just bit the bullet and got a proper estate agent in, Mcartneys. Matt arrived for our evaluation and instantly made me feel at ease with his professionalism and confidence.
We instructed him and he sold the house pretty quickly with brilliant communication throughout and a real personal service. He gave myself and our buyer his personal mobile number so he could sort out any questions out of hours in his personal time which was above and beyond. A year later he sold another house for me and the same storey, a very painless and smooth sale. The office team were great too and very friendly whenever I spoke to them on the phone. A massive thank you to Matt and the team and will definitely be using you again!
