Digusting company who Undervalues properties if they believe they can take advantage of your circumstances. Then they speak to you in a rude vile way and charge over 1300 for their low life services. Unfortunately in the uk good service is hard to find with so many unprincipled individuals, Steve being one of them.

Well what can we say! Fantastic, personal service from start to finish.nothing was too much trouble for Steve and the team. Our move was challenging at times but Steve calmed us down on lots of occasions and without him I think we'd have had lots more meltdowns. It was lovely dealing with a local, family owned company too. If you are thinking of moving-Bob Gutteridge is the place to go. We can't thank them enough! X
