I have always used Hills to let out my properties and have always been extremely pleased with the level of service and attention to detail. Sarah is proactive and communicates very well. She makes excellent judgements and, with all this in mind, I would certainly recommend Hills to any landlord.

I usually choose an estate agent as the one who turns up the least late - Justin arrived early. He continued to always reply promptly to any of my queries. He saw the value in the property that others could not, and advised me of the best route to sort out the offers. He took time to listen to my concerns and addressed them well. I would happily recommend Hills to any of my friends.

Hills found me a buyer for a house I was selling on behalf of a relative. Despite my living 150 miles away and all the restrictions and difficulties associated with Covid (like our having to manage this remotely) they were very helpful throughout and went the extra mile to help by recommending local tradesmen to take care of necessary work etc. Thanks to Justin and Tom. Highly recommended for personal service.
