Report
Excellent service from start to finish. Having dealt with numerous letting agents in Portsmouth over the years, Christies has by far been the best experience. Ross and Carol have been particularly great, answering all our questions, negotiating with our landlord and keeping us in the loop at every stage. The handful of times I have gone into the store, everyone has been lovely. Definitely outperforms our experiences with other estate agents, such as Leaders, Fry & Kent and Kings. Highly recommend.

Report
I bought a terrace house with the Christie's recently and I have found Mr Ross Poulton and Carol Evans very helpful, responsive, friendly and understanding. If I called and did not get through Carol called back almost immediately regardless if it was out of office hours. All enquiries were answered very quickly by email from the both of them. I will definitely use them again if I was to sell or buy another property.in the future. Thank you very much Ross and Carol for making our lives easier.

Not only providing us with a landlord who was incompetent but simply refused to fix a toilet for over 3 months and proceeded to send rude emails about how we live and about us! Would never recommend to anyone save yourself the pain and go through a different, more professional, company
