Recently moved into house in the West Midlands, relocating from Yorkshire. Steve our letting agent has been brilliant in helping us sort this all out from a distance and working with us to come view the property when we would be able to. The house is good at a reasonable price and so far the little jobs that needed doing Steve's sorted out within a day or two. Decent and helpful.

Five stars for these guys, if only for dogged determination to sell my house..! An unusual property in a difficult market, these guys' persistence and expertise paid off. This is an agency that is small enough to be able to provide real professional advice at the end of the phone. But large enough to be a key player in the area. As a client you get expert creative marketing, and hands-on professional viewings. All for a competitive price. I would use them again.
