We chose to sell with Matt after he was recommended to us by our neighbours for his helpful and professional approach during the sale of their home and he hasnt disappointed. Matts friendly and extremely accessible and responsive communication makes him very easy to deal with. Matt and the team worked incredibly hard for us to facilitate all aspects of our sale in an efficient and very timely way. Right from the outset Luscombe Maye have been extremely flexible in accommodating our requirements and even managed to group viewings around our busy family life. They have made the process as easy

Luc has been a star through the whole buying process, supporting us, answering all our questions and liaising with the vendors to make the sale as painless as possible, even delivering the keys! It was also lovely to find a welcome present in the fridge!
