We have just completed the sale of my sisters house using lasting power of attorney, which is very difficult at the best of times. Cowell and Norford estate agents have been absolutely fantastic from initial contact up to completion in approximately 6 weeks. I must especially mention Dominique, my contact, at Cowell and Norford who has been excellent in concluding the sale. She has been very professional but compassionate in our dealings at this difficult time. I cannot praise her highly enough and I would have no hesitation in using Cowell and Norford in the future, or recommending them to any buyers or sellers. Mr Rod McDonald

Cannot fault this agency. Everyone i spoke to was friendly and efficient. Hayley in particular, from the Milnrow office, was an absolute godsend. She kept in touch throughout. Gave me unbiased sound advice, reassured me at every turn and went above and beyond when the time came to complete. I genuinely feel that without her this would have been a much more stressful experience.
