Report
We have purchased a property through Harveys. I must say Charles has been absolutely amazing from start to finish. He is fair, responsive and highly professional with his service. Even at the tricky twists and turns during the process, he was always calm and reassuring to facilitate it. Really recommend Harveys of Mere Green

A very professional and friendly estate agent, which oversaw a property purchase efficiently and with a minimum of fuss. Highly recommended.

Report
The worst letting agents I have ever dealt with. Completely dishonest practice. A warning to all landlords and tenants, there are much better agencies out there.

Report
I got the tenancy but was told that after signing the agreement I was now directly involved with the landlord and that the letting agents no longer have anything to do with this property. It's been a terrible place to move to and the goings on. I told the landlord I want my money back and I will vacate along with my removals cost's. He was out of the country, lost his sim card and has asked for the removal receipt which I got and I have not heard a thing yet.
