Mostly good with cheerful staff, however, improvements are to be made, especially in where tenents request are made, but never answered, this needs addressing especially as they are meant to a professional company.

Our sale was a difficult one to say the least. Issues with the buyers solictor being rather slow and problems with further down the chain caused or sale to take 13 months to complete, not helped by the fact that I live in Canada. Through all of this fisks have been brilliant, especially Taris. He has gone above and beyond at every point, from meter readings, running paperwork backwards and forwards to making sure the furniture and contents went to people in need. He has always got back to me same day with any questions I have, and gone out of his way to get me answers when no one could help.
