I have just purchased my first property through Homecastle, both Dawn and Angus were extremely proactive throughout the entire process. I can only leave 5 stars as I can't see how they could've done a better job.

Dawn and her team at Homecastle have just sold my mother's house. The service they provided was excellent. They are dynamic and efficient. And I much appreciated them being so communicative and always quickly available on the phone every time I called them.

Weve recently purchased a property through Homecastle and we have to say they were the best estate agents weve dealt with. Dawn kept the whole (rather tricky) sale together and was always on hand to deal with any enquiries we had. Really really impressed with the estate agents and would happily use them in the future.
