I had my property in Clifton on the market with another agent for nearly a year with no success, after speaking with my neighbours who had dealt with Richard Harding in the past I decided to move to them. I did not regret my choice. When Pete came to appraise the property it was clear he had done his research, comparing mine to other similar properties in the area. Something that was lacking from the other agent! They were great at providing feedback after every viewing and when an offer was placed they were great at communicating with me and my solicitor. I could not recommend Richard Harding

Our particular property was out of the ordinary for the area and they 'got it' and promoted it as such.Having then achieved a sale above the asking price within 24 hrs of going 'live' ,they then managed our buyer, the solicitors and kept us fully informed during the whole process. The Staff are very experienced and professional and it shows. We have bought and sold 9 houses previoously and have never received this level of service before. We would highly recommended them.

I have used Richard Harding to Buy and sell houses for the past 9 years and they have consistently delivered every time. Expert knowledge of the Clifton/Redland areas and beyond and one of the few that represent the buyer and seller with quality. Highly recommend Pete Sharland.

Even as we walked around the property with our surveyor (who we had paid 3k+ for), all the Richard Harding estate agent could say to us was "we speak to the people who missed out in the sealed bid everyday, they constantly ring us up to see if this sale is falling through" or words to that effect. We found this very strange. We were buying the house with a bridging loan

A truly impressive company which I would warmly recommend to anyone! Absolutely head and shoulders above other firms all of the agents who showed us around houses were professional, knowledgeable and friendly and we always received prompt replies to any queries they could not answer on site. A special mention for Peter Sharland who first showed us our dream home and who made the whole process of buying it as painless as possible. Peter stayed in touch at every stage always proactive, problem solving and with great communication skills he really made us feel as though ours was the
