Howkins & Harrison provided excellent service, they were professional and kept us informed throughout the whole process. In particular Jamie went above and beyond to help make things as smooth as possible with the sale of our house. I would highly recommend this estate agents - thank you so much for all your hard work!

Jamie at Howkins was extremely helpful when it came to selling my home. There were some twists along the way, but he kept me updated with every new development. He was always keen to do the legwork to try and push things along and get everything sorted by any deadlines that needed to be met, and all with a great customer service manner. I would definitely recommend using Howkins & Harrison to my friends and family, and if I move home again, then I will be returning myself. A great company to deal with, and Jamie is an all round great guy.

We were recommended by a friend to instruct Howkins and Harrison to sell our property and they did not disappoint. Very professional and responsive service from Jamie and David throughout, and we will not hesitate to recommend their services.
