The team at Underhill Estate Agents consistently responded promptly to any inquiries we had throughout the house purchase process. Their support made the entire experience smooth and hassle-free, going above and beyond by offering us the use of their internet until ours was installed. We were also pleasantly surprised by the thoughtful gesture of receiving a small hamper after the sale was finalized. Gustavo Woltmann

I cannot recommend Underhill's enough. Went well above the call of duty and above and beyond all expectations. They sold me for a great price and helped me through the whole process. Even coming up trumps in my hours of need when I had no one else to turn to. Taking me to an emergency doctors and dealing with awkward situations I found myself in. Andy, I have gotten to know very well and as a ex police officer is compassionate and the support that he gave me through the whole process really showed.

Andy and his team are truly fantastic. I highly recommend them I have been meaning to write this review for some time, but have struggled with putting my fingers to the keyboard; my apologies to you all at Underhills as you secured my sale allowing me buy my new home and have something for my family to focus on. Basically for all of you reading, during my sale I went in to early labour, my children were born far to early, and had to fight for their lives; sadly one did not make it. Buying and selling is stressful enough, Andy and his team, were amazing, throughout this process they worked in the back ground with my parents and all involved to keep and progress the sale whilst we lived in intensive care. I cannot thank Underhills or recommend them enough. For me their professionalism, their compassion and their support during my moving process and during my darkest hours has been outstanding.
