Really impressed with Jasmine and the team. I have spent months seeking a property to buy. As soon as I registered the team kept me informed of properties on the market by email and phone. Viewings were arranged quickly and promptly. They were very proactive. I would highly recommend this estate agent to anyone seeking a property to buy.

We cannot thank Lorraine enough in our search for a rental property. Even though we lived in Spain and at first were unable to travel because of Covid, she regularly kept us up to date with new properties up for rent so that we were able to see our options. This was despite all the other agents we contacted not even bothering to answer emails never mind keep in touch. Through Lorraine we have now found a beautiful property which is just right for us and has enabled us to make our move back to the UK. Thank you Lorraine for being so patient and understanding with us, we could not recommend you strongly

Fantastic service from the team. I had used Morton New before and had no hesitation in returning. Always happy to help and Martin our sales progressor kept us completely up to date and was more than happy to 'delve' when we were unsure of the current situation. Great work all!
