Report
I am very happy to leave a review for Gatehouse Estates of Godmanchester. After many years of buying and selling property, I find it hard to think of an estate agent who worked so hard and diligently to sell my Mum's property, guiding - not pushing - through what was a very difficult pandemic period. Phil Malley, who I dealt with, always kept me updated and was pleasant, thorough, respectful and utterly professional during a very smooth and quick process. I therefore highly recommend them.

We have purchased a property via Gatehouse and they were amazing at communication, liaising between parties and were great when we were first shown around. Always polite and friendly people.
