Hair & Son, and especially Emily were fantastic during our home buying process. They were very responsive and worked very hard to ensure we completed in just over 2 months! Would happily work with them again.

My daughter and I viewed a property to rent in Southend and were met by Ben Zammit, an estate agent for Hair and Son, who showed us around the property. He was totally professional, polite, patient and his outstanding customer service skills were impressive. We had a bad experience with another estate agents so were not only happy with his service but on visiting the estate agent on the London Road, in Southend, we were made to feel very welcome and comfortable by the whole teams approachable, friendly high level of customer service. I would highly recommend going through Hair and Son to rent
