Critical: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value Paul Blakemore failed to turn up three times to my property for a valuation & chat about marketing my houses I rent in Maidenbower, I have 17 property's on this estate & want to sell them, found the attitude strange & he spoke to me aggressive, clearly not to be trusted with my property keys.

Just like to say thanks for the excellent service provided on the sale of Mum's maisonette. What a fantastic result sold within 4 days and in excess of 3,000.00 pounds more than the asking price, due to the bidding war encouraged by your goodself, Well done, I will certainly recommend your company to others.

Having registered our property with Blakemore & Sons they provided an excellent and attentive personal service. In the first seven days of marketing the property we had nine viewings and three potential buyers. Paul Blakemore went out of his way to make sure that the house selling process was as stress-free as possible and was always available to answer any queries and keep us informed of developments. I would highly recommend their services to anyone.

I would like to say a big thank you for all your help in this process. Think you went the extra mile at times, something I don't say to often to estate agents! But really appreciate your help.

Throw out all the old cliches about estate agents when your dealing with Paul Blakemore. His personal service and constant attention has been superb. He sold my mother's property despite it being outside his normal area, and against all the well-known local competition. He marketed our own house in super quick time, his advice on marketing and valuation was spot on, and we had a cash buyer lined up within a week.
Unlike all other estate agents I have dealt with, once they have sold the property you go on the back burner, Paul continually updated us as the sale proceeded to a happy conclusion for all. He is now actively helping us to buy a suitable property for rental purposes, with his equally professional colleague Neil and I have no hesitation in putting this transaction in their more than capable hands. I would have absolutely no reservations in recommending Blakemore & Sons to any prospective buyer/seller/landlord as "SIMPLY THE BEST". With many many thanks

Paul Blakemore is friendly out going personality. Always keeping us up to date via phone and email. We always felt our sale was important and were able to contact him at anytime he always quickly got back to us if not available. A smooth ride, everything explained along the way. I can thoroughly recommend Blakemore & Sons to anyone interested in advice or to use in selling or purchasing a property in this area.
