Atrocious service. 4 times we've tried to view houses with them, 4 times they've been no help whatsoever. We rearrange work etc to view a house and only when we ring them after waiting past the viewing time do we get told it's cancelled. So glad I'm not selling through them.

Unbelievable service - valuation Wednesday, on the market by Thursday offers made by Friday - 3 DAYS! Tony and Andrea have been helpful, efficient and supportive and made a potentially stressful experience very straightforward! I feel confident that they will continue to help the house sale reach a satisfactory conclusion as timely as is possible. Definitely recommend.
