This is the second time I have used Athertons Estate agents in the past 8 years and again they didn't disappoint, the service they provide feels personal and professional and nothing is too much trouble. From the first meeting there were no time pressures and everything was done at my pace with minimal disruption. Sam Garlick the agent that was dealing with our house was amazingly supportive of every little bump in the road and corner we turned and he was always available at the end of the phone or I just had to drop him a email and it was done. Very professional and family friendly , I would highly
