We operate from our accessible high street office on Red Bank Road in Blackpool. Our proactive approach ensures we deliver the best possible results for every client we represent.

Harli and the team have been so helpful, my house sold within 1-2 days of being on the market. They are very professional, nothing is ever too much trouble. They are now assisting me in finding a new house to move into, I could not recommend them enough. Top Service.

Great Company to use for Selling your property. Cris will value your property in the best way to get the best price and not OVER value your property to get the sale and leave you stuck on the market for ages without any offers. We had an accepted offer within 2 days of advertising with McDonalds when another estate agent over valued us and wasted 4 weeks with no reasonable offers coming in. Couldn't of asked for more from McDonalds Estate agents. Josh and their team are also on hand for any queries and answer straight away. Will always use this company if we need to sell again.

I've had wonderful service from the whole team. They found a buyer for my bungalow and I'm buying my new home through them. Everyone there is very friendly but also professional. Just as important, if they've told me they would do something, they've done it and they've kept me up to date with everything that's happening. They've also given me good guidance. What's not to like?
