Report
Very professional service provided. Phone was always answered promptly, and communication was always polite and courteous, and I was regularly updated on the progress of the sale. Pictures taken for brochure/rightmove by Sam, were of excellent quality (very important in my opinion as its the very first impression buyers have!). A big thankyou to Cathy (my case manager) and all at Main & Main.

This is my second house sale through Main & Main and having previously bought 3 properties through them and as expected the service was excellent. Mr Main provided good advice and Cathy Hedley made the whole process smooth and efficient with constant communication. If you are looking for an estate agent I highly recommend Main & Main.

With Main & Main I've let a property for 11 years then sold the property. I received excellent service from both teams. They were always professional, they took good care of my property, and assisted the sale with above and beyond service. I would highly recommend Main & Main for both lettings and sales. Two individuals who really stood out were Cathy Hedley and Kimberley Critchley.
