Report
The first good thing was that we discussed our situation of being first-time buyers and having paperwork in place with LC. She did a brilliant job presenting the factual information to the seller in making a more informed decision. I will highly recommend her for this work. The next phase was even more challenging, where managing the chain was not easy, and the seller had to change their plans due to unforeseeable circumstances. SA handled the situation professionally through continuous liaison with the parties involved and keeping everyone up to date.
We were first-time buyers; she offered us guidance to understand the next steps. Here I can tell that her chain management was a lot better than some of the other well-known estate agencies in this area. For these reasons, I would give Melvyn Danes five stars and say well done to Lucy and Sam! I do genuinely hope that their firm values their contributions to their business!

My wife and I couldn't be more pleased with the great service received from Melvyn Danes. We were kept up to date every step of the way. Staff are polite, friendly and very accommodating, allowing us to view the property a few times whilst the purchase was taking place. Having a good estate agent takes away a lot of the stress when you're making the most expensive purchase of your life. Thank you Melvyn Danes, particularly Sam our appointed Agent. Highly recommended!

I was 100% satisfied with the service I've recently received for MD in respect of the now completed sale of my mother-in-law's property. I was kept fully informed on progress, as and when it was necessary. I would have no hesitation in recommending them. Special thanks to VW and SA
