Recently purchased a property through BKN. Sarah was very polite and approachable for enquiries during the process. I am very pleased with my new home.

Amazingly professional and friendly agents, we purchased through Karen and her team recently; they were so helpful and efficient and kept us posted throughout, which is more than I can say about my own estate agents. I now wish we had sold through BK, but you live and learn! They truly are a 5 star team and their local knowledge of the area is also outstanding.

Report
When enquiring regards to a valuation I spoke to a lady who was rude, abrupt, and couldn't careless. Speaking to Howard who works there he was exactly the same, and couldn't put the phone down on me sooner. If they cant handle a valuation enquiry, can they really handle a sale of a house? Probably not.

Not only did I sell a property but bought one through this company too. All the staff I had contact with were extremely helpful. It wasnt always easy because of reasons beyond their control but their efforts ensured the final outcome. For this Im very grateful.
