We would recommend this estate agents very highly. We recently purchased a property through Lawrence & Co and we couldn't of been happier with the service. They where incredibly professional from start to finish, negotiating an amazing price for the property we wished to purchase. Every time we called with a query, which was a lot as we where first time buyers. We were made to feel very valued, if our question couldn't be answered then and there, we would normally receive a call back within 24 hours. Jo and Alexa who dealt with were always very polite, personable and generally amazing. If we require

Twice in the last 5 years, I have asked Lawrence & Co to sell a property and am extremely satisfied with their efficient, professional and friendly service. Alexa and Mark know the proprety values of the local area very well and on both occasions, within hours of the sale going live, I had a purchaser. I have been recommending Lawrence & Co and will continue to do so. Thankyou.
