I recently bought a house through Keith Taylor Estate Agents. It was a great experience, the staff team are so helpful and friendly and were more than happy to offer advice and guidance to a first time buyer throughout the whole process. Gillian was really knowledgeable about the Selby area and even gave me some great information about local solicitors. No hesitation in recommending!

A very efficient service setting up a tenancy. Polite and prompt service and would highly recommend, Michelle and the Keith Taylors staff have been wonderful to work with for the many years I've rented from them. They are always willing to assist. Really helpful, courteous, and quick to respond to any questions or concerns. They are all professional and approachable, as well as incredibly knowledgeable.

Haven't sold a house in decades, have sold one through Keith Taylor recently and found the whole experience to be easy and they couldn't have been more professional. Would highly recommend them.
