We sold our home last year through Jack @ Wilkie May Taunton, an absolute pleasure to deal with - from the start Jack had it under control and kept us in the loop all the way through
We used another local agent before hand and what a bunch of cowboys they were.. wish we found Jack to start with

Terrible estate agency. Forced me to clean all carpets in rented flat even though the carpet cleaner couldn't understand why he was there as there was nothing worng with the carpet ! Would never use again or recommend to family, friends or enemy!
Edit - my name is Luke Morris, I rented 28 Marino way. The reason you forced me to pay for the 1 year old carpets to he cleaned was because I smoked in the garage of the property which did not effect the look or smell of the carpets. I also requested if it would be possible to look for another property while with you to be told I would have to pay 300
