I have dealt with this Living Local team twice through buying and selling property. I cannot praise them highly enough. Diligent, seemingly tireless, and couldn't be more helpful in getting you through to completion. I highly recommend.

Fantastic experience renting through Living Local, I mainly spoke to Brooke who has been a pleasure to deal with. Lovely personable and professional service and very quick responses. From ringing to enquire to securing a property I was constantly kept in the loop and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend. Thank you!

My partner and I decided to buy a house together right before covid hit in march 2020, it wasn't without its ups and downs as we lost initial house because of our buyers being furloughed and therefore unable to proceed sadly, but obviously that house wasn't meant to be, all the girls at living local were absolutely brilliant they kept in touch , kept us up to date, they did there best to help us find our forever home which eventually we did and moved in November 2020, it was a hugely stressful time but we can't thank living local enough and would highly recommend them to anyone, mahoosive thumbs
