The Stratton Creber Commercial team have acted for us on both the lease of two of our properties as well as the rental of a third party property. Their knowledge and advice has always been first class.

SLOW SLOW SLOW: After initally enquiring about the need for an urgent office, after sending an email saying it looks perfect and want to make a quick decision, it takes 3 weeks before we get any contact asking if we are still interested! If you need an office in 6 months, I suggest you start looking with Stratton Creber Commerical in Exeter now!
