Chris came and talked us through the process of the house move never pressured us and answered many questions we had. We received plenty notice for viewings and house sold really quick which I am sure was due to the professional service provided by Briwn and co. Hopefully never moving again however would use Chris everytime!

We received a great service from Chris and his team, selling two homes and buying one, all done with complete professionalism and a personal touch that was very much appreciated. I can also recommend Chris's Dad's mortgage broker services too, he is a JB Mortage Solutions. They are a top team that I highly recommend.

We used Brown & Co to sell our family home in Whitburn. The service was a 10 out of 10. They are there to help you every step of the way. They even took care of all the viewings for no extra charge, which was great, given we could not be there all the time. We have no hesitation in referring them to all would be sellers and buyers!
