I recently purchased my first flat through Whiteley Helyar and can't recommend them enough! Following my offer being accepted, there were a few things that cropped up in the building survey that confused me as a first time buyer but Emma put me in contact with all the right people for advice which was so helpful being new to the property market. Emma was always very responsive to emails and we often hopped on the phone to each other to go through details. She was also extremely helpful in recommending solicitors and letting agents. Had a great experience and am so thankful for all their help!
