Steven and his team are an incredible team to work with. They are responsive, attentive and understanding. The whole process from putting my home on sale, to scheduling viewings to discussing offers was second to none! They have a process in place which makes setting up viewings very secure and safe. They will bend over backwards to accommodate to any of the clients needs and respond within 5 or less minutes if you cant get hold of them first time on the phone.
Impeccable service and strongly recommend! Thank you Team x

Report
We recently bought a house marketed with this estate agent and a long story short, we relocated from Ireland having bought the house remotely. Not only did the lovely staff ensure the keys were kept safe for two weeks until we could travel, but one wonderful member of staff stayed late and waited after traffic delayed us after closing. I don't know many companies would do that. We'd have been sleeping in the van with our dog and all our worldly possessions if not for her. Can't thank them or recommend them enough.
