Report
[we were buyers]: Excellent advice and service from Sarah at Ruralscene, who answered all my questions, obtained land plans, and managed to set up a complex viewing schedule. Unfortunately, we had an offer accepted before the viewings took place- so in the event we did not end up viewing, or purchasing through ruralscene - but I would like to say that Sarah at ruralscene is among the most prompt and professional estate agents we have ever interacted with. Five stars.
