Report
Stuart and his team are extremely professional with a vast amount of local knowledge. We were impressed from the initial meeting with Stuart, immediately feeling very reassured that the sale of my father's house, in which he had lived for 50 years, would be in very competent hands. Stuart's team continued the professional care and management with excellent communication as whoever answered the phone seemed to already have an awareness of the stage and situation of the sale.
Our sale was managed by Alex Moore who was fantastic. The house situation was complicated and through every stage Alex was very supportive and caring, handling matters with sensitivity particularly regarding my elderly father and wisdom, knowledge and support for myself. Nothing was too much trouble and every contact was responded to rapidly, efficiently and with personal interest, even when Alex was not technically "at work".
I would thoroughly recommend Stuart Rushton & Company Estate Agents who completely outshone any estate agents I have previously dealt with. Thankyou to everyone but especially Alex for a very successful end to a long process despite the challenging complications.

I have nothing but gratitude for Jackie and the team at the Knutsford office for successfully navigating us through to a sale in difficult circumstances. 5*+ for communication, intelligence, empathy and (most importantly) effectiveness.

We have recently purchased our family home from Stuart Rushton and I could not fault them through the entire process. Harvey and his colleagues are absolutely fabulous to deal with and we were delighted to recently complete with them. Our previous home was a rental also through Stuart Ruston and again we had a great experience with them through the letting team.
