Everyone we dealt with was extremely helpful, kept us updated at every stage of the journey and made the process of buying our first house relatively stress free. Special thanks to Michaela, Samuel and Peter for their excellent service.

Very helpful patient and efficient. This made for a smooth and (relatively) stressless experience buying our first home. We would highly recommend the whole team with also a massive thank you to Samuel! We'll be sure to use Peter Buswell when it's our turn to sell!

The whole team is very friendly and it was a joy renting from them for the past 2 years. The only reason I moved on is that I moved out of the area they cover. I want to say a big thank you to Sophie, Peter and the whole team for all the help they offered throughout my time with them.

If i could give 10 Stars I would! These lovely people are complete Superhero's. I put my house on with them over 15 months ago now, and they worked so hard to sell it for me, working over and above what i would have ever expected. The house, through no fault of the agents, fell through Twice. But they soldiered on, always having a positive and upbeat attitude to getting a new buyer. I estimated that they must have shown nearly 100 people around the house, and never did they seem to complain. Peter runs an excellent team. Michaela and Samuel have been looking after me throughout and it has been with such professionalism and politeness right the way. My house is now SOLD, thankyou so so much to all of you at Peter Buswell for being AMAZING! Sharon Wood

We were buying a home advertised with Peter Buswell and the service we received was excellent. Their constant communication and customer care was brilliant and made the entire process painless. Would definitely recommend approaching Peter Buswell if you're trying to sell your home.

Friendly and efficient. The team are lovely to work with, so helpful, knowledgeable and they really have all parties interests at heart. Sophie and Amy in particular helped us through the whole process and Peter was there for us if ever we needed him, they all made what could have been a very stressful let, a pleasant experience. Highly recommend for all landlords out there!

We rented a property for just over 2 years with Peter Buswell and everything went so smoothly from starting our tenancy, to getting our deposit back at the end. They couldn't do enough for us, and if I'm ever moving back to the area, I hope to deal with them again. Thank you!
