Report
Everyone in Lettings at the Burford office are lovely. But Vanessa especially went above and beyond. In this current market where there is so little stock, huge competition and most estate agents don't even bother returning calls, Vanessa always kept me in the loop, was available most of the times I called, and when not, returned my calls promptly. I've finally secured a property to rent and I can't thank Vanessa and her team enough for making it happen!
