Report
I rang for a free valuation and next day they came and took some photographs of our property. It was all posted on the web within 2 or 3 days. We had 8 viewings between the Friday and Monday and an offer was accepted on the Tuesday - all this within 8 days. The advice provided prior to marketing is borne out by the speed of which we received the viewings and offers. The staff were extremely pleasant and professional and have answered my questions speedily by return email and telephone. I would use this service again and have no hesitation in recommending Gordon Brown Estate Agents to anybody who

We received a first class service from Joanne on the lettings team. She was professional, friendly, reassuring and efficient. The whole process took 10 days from start to finish and she made it as stress free as possible for us. I would happily recommend the team to anyone looking to rent a property. Thank you so much.
