Clifford Smith Sutcliffe were the estate agents for the purchase of our new home, the whole team were amazing and so helpful through the whole process. I would also like to give a special mention to Keelie, who was always on hand to answer any queries and always gave her support whenever needed. I would say she went above and beyond my expectations. Thanks again to the whole team.

Very professional and polite. Kept us well informed and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. Competitive prices. Slight hic up was a mistake on the final invoice. Immediately admitted and quickly resolved. We all make mistakes and it is how they are resolved counts

Used Clifford Smith to sell my late mother's home. Great service with a human touch. Scott was class from the first minute wanted to know the story and the history behind the house. Keelie was superb from start to finish keeping us well informed throughout the sale and getting a great price for the property and Peter was great with the final stage of handing over the keys. Would recommend to anyone who is looking to by or sell

Clifford Smith Sutcliffe recently sold my family home in Barrowford. The process was slick through from initial visit and valuation to pictures and brochures right through to arranging buyer visits and negotiating on price. The team are all extremely friendly and always on the other side of a phone to help with queries. I also used the solicitor for the sale and purchase of my new home which was just as slick and friendly Many thanks to the team! Antonio

Simply put, the best people I have ever dealt with. I purchased a house through them; sadly, there were some complications, but they were on my side with the house I was selling. This really wasn't the job of Clifford Smith; however, they were more than willing to do everything in their power they could to help get the deal through. Special mention to Keelie, who, without her, I really don't think I'd be in the position I am in.
She was on the phone every day to every person involved with the sale of my house and helping and giving me any advice she could. Without a doubt, I would be dealing with them all again. Thank you for everything.
