Urban and Rural Stopsely helped me with my search for the right property. From the very start, they were professional, genuine and friendly. From my experience with various local agents, Urban and Rural Stopsley were by far the best.

We have recently sold our property with Urban and Rural Stopsley. From the very start Neil was very professional and easy to approach with any questions or queries we had as this is the first property we had sold a property. We had friendly, professional and great communication from Cathy, Lauren and Kyla who carried out viewings in our home and it was sold very quickly! We then got passed onto Ann (Sales Progressor) who was great with her communication, very friendly and professional. She was also very quick at responding to me with any queries we had. I would highly recommend Urban & Rural in Stopsley.

We were extremely impressed with the service we received at Urban and Rural, Stopsley. Every stage of our selling was dealt with professionally and effectively. From the initial meeting to discuss our needs, to the visits from all the staff to familiarise themselves with our property before bringing in potential buyers. The ladies who showed buyers round were enthusiastic and knowledgeable and very courteous.
We were particularly grateful to Ann, our negotiator, who work tirelessly on our behalf to ensure our sale went through. After meeting many (very poor) estate agents during our time looking at properties we realised what an A team Urban and Rural are. Thank you. Keep up the high standards.

I would have no hesitation recommending Urban & Rural, they were exceptional. Urban and Rural have been truly excellent throughout the whole sales cycle, from the initial meeting right through to completion. At the initial meeting at the property Neil was very well prepared with evidence and data of similar properties in the area. He was very thorough and gave me confidence in U&R's professionalism.
They provided 24 viewings in 2 days after which we received a number of offers. The viewings were well managed and feedback was excellent. Following acceptance of an offer Ann the Sales progressor was amazing offering frequent updates and advice, right up to completion. This was very welcome as the solicitors provided very little information.

Excellent experience with Urban and Rural. From Neil's professional and trustworthy approach at his initial visit, to the viewings carried out by Kyla and Lauren, always friendly and always following up with feedback after each visit, through to Ann who honestly literally 'held my hand' through the remainder of the process. This team are excellent! In particular, Ann (Sales Progressor) was very approachable, always returned my calls or messages, always made me feel as if I was her only client (even though I knew she was also very busy with others), nothing was too much for her, and did all she could to help me get through the sale of my home and purchase of my new home. I would definitely recommend this company again! Thank you all! :-)

Kyla the agent was very polite, approachable and patient with us and I can't say enough how nice and patient she is and also spent good amount of time for me. Ann the sale agent was very responsive and available whenever I needed her. Thank you very much for making this happen and I appreciate all of your hard work. Well done all.
