Report
I Would like to thank Claire for handling everything so perfectly during the sale of my Late Mothers house. Due to me being so far away in Canada & during Covid. She kept me fully updated with viewings and gave regular progress reports as sale progressed. She made a very upsetting & stressful situation much easier to go through she is amazing and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Chequers & Claire to anyone wanting to sell or buy a house the service is exceptional.

Tim provides an excellent service. He was contactable out of hours and did all we asked. His approach was proactive and it restored my faith in estate agents on the high street. Would I use him again - yes, without a doubt.
