Report
I 100% recommend Richard Kendall to deal with all buying, selling and letting matters. Catherine and staffs are nice and they always answer my questions quickly. They always check up every parties' schedule to make sure everything is right on target. I placed the offer on a house on 2 March and completed the whole purchase on 25 April! I have no doubt that I let my property I purchase via Richard Kendall. It's definitely sure that the whole process is smooth and fast. They are professional to arrange the viewings, gas check and signing the contract.

I cannot recommend this Estate Agents enough. They have been absolutely brilliant right from the very beginning. So professional and so friendly. I cannot praise Catherine and her colleagues enough. And She kept in constant contact throughout and kept us fully informed of what was going on. She really is a credit to the company. I would never consider using anyone other than Richard Kendall. Well done everyone.

We put our house on the market in October and completed in June, Joanne and Amanda went above and beyond from start to finish. Through chains falling through to solicitors making huge errors that caused a delay that resulted in us exchanging at 4pm and completing the following day, Amanda and Joanne continually contacted the entire chain and their respective solicitors to constantly push things to achieve the completion date and kept us in the loop throughout. Helpful, professional and personable. Would highly recommend and use again without a doubt! Thank you both!

What amazing people! Huge thank you to Lucy H, Alison and Lucie A who have stuck with me through thick and thin for the last 9 months! My house sold immediately last July but finding the right property to move to has been fraught the whole way. They helped me navigate through some very troubled waters and finally steered me into the harbour this very day. Can't recommend Richard Kendall's highly enough - I bought my house through them almost 9 years ago and sold with them again this time - I have experienced a lot of estate agents in my house search and I'm so glad it was these guys and not one of the others. Brilliant service from start to finish
