Nice, helpful people to deal with. We appreciated all the assistance and advice they were happy to give us. Beyond the call of duty, they were prepared to house my medicine in their fridge, when our fridge broke down! Thank Richard, David and Nicola.

Have just finalised our purchase through Miles & Son. We could not speak any higher of Richard and his team. They kept us updated throughout the whole process, offered help and advice when needed, and nothing was too much trouble for them. The service we received from them was exceptional, and we can't thank them enough.

Fantastic journey from start to finish, Nicola could not of done more for us renting a new property. She kept in regular contact with us, made sure everything ran smoothly (which it did) and was extremely understanding and friendly at what can be a very stressful time. I would highly recommend miles and son. Amazing estate agents.

Richard and his team acted so professionally with their advice and the sale of my home, and importantly, kept me up to date during a somewhat fraught journey. Richard and his team are a credit to their profession. Thank you, Richard and David.
