Lee Skinner has done a fantastic job for us in selling our house. Having sold a number of properties in the past he has restored our faith in estate agency. He has kept us informed throughout and pushed both legal firms to get on with the process. We would certainly recommend without any hesitation. Well done Lee!

First class service throughout the sale of a flat, which included an extension to the lease. Lee Skinner was always on hand to answer any questions and had superb local knowledge which helped a smooth sale. I would not hesitate to recommend Cosgroves who proved to be very professional, friendly and a cost effective estate agent. Thank you.

I recently bought a property that was being sold via Cosgroves. Lee was very good throughout the process, helping us to liaise with the vendors. He kept the sale moving along when things inevitably paused, and kept great communication throughout. I won't be buying another place for a while, but I would recommend Cosgroves to sellers!

Lee was excellent in his dealings with us when we wanted to buy a flat in Southsea. All queries were dealt with promptly and he could not have been more helpful, but was never pushy. Would recommend Cosgroves without hesitation.
