A huge thank you to the Scriven & Co Team for persisting in finding Tom and I our perfect first home. The team have been very responsive and informative, thank you to Katie who was always at hand when we had any queries or questions we had. I would also like to say a special thank you to George Scriven who has been nothing short of amazing! He has been so supportive and has truly done everything he possibly could to make sure this process was stress free and enjoyable, in a very personable yet professional manner. We are so delighted to have found our perfect first home thanks to Scriven & Co. I truly hope our paths cross again in the future, thank you all!

I wanted to sell my house and was going no where with another agent. I spoke to George Scriven to explore changing my agent. He arranged to come to my house at a time that was convenient for me. He had done his pre-valuation checks and was very well prepared. Throughout the discussion he was very honest, professional and took time to explain everything backed by evidence. I found a buyer soon after our discussion through my old agent but I would not hesitate to recommend George and his team for their honesty and professionalism.

I purchased my home via Scriven & Co and I was very happy with the service. They were always super professional, and so helpful. They really made sure that everything went smoothly, and were always on hand to answer any questions. George Scriven was consistently responsive and helped a lot with liaising with all parties so that nothing got stuck. I would definitely use them again - but the house I bought via them is so perfect I don't think I will ever move! Thank you George and everyone at Scriven & Co.

At the start, George was amazing and the reason we went with Scrivens. We were buying a property marketed by them as well as selling our own through them. We even started recommending them to family and friends. As soon as prices were agreed, it's almost as if things stopped and if it wasn't for my wife chasing all concerned on an almost daily basis, we would have not gone through with the sales on account of the imminent closure of the stamp duty holiday.
It felt to us that as long as the purchase was done, it didn't matter when contracts were exchanged but to us, because of the stamp duty, it would matter. massively and the chain would have fell apart as a result. There's been no follow-up either for feedback, to see how everything is etc As I said at the start, George is the reason for the 3, otherwise it would have easily been a 1 or a 2.

Really delighted with how our Farm Rd property was marketed and subsequently sold. Supplied us with great in-depth research during the appraisal which proved to be realistic with the sale price agreed. Would highly recommend.
