Report
We've actually dealt with Byrne Runciman since the early 90s. Buying and selling through them and using them for surveys. Another sale has just completed, a real test in during the COVID lockdown period. They found us a great couple to buy the property and kept in contact all the way through the process. Many thanks

Byrne Runciman were extremely helpful at all stages of the recent sale of my property. From the outset, they made useful marketing suggestions then kept me updated at all times. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Many thanks to Rona and the rest of the team.

Byrne Runciman Ltd are AMAZING. We are sooo happy with the service they provided and continue to provide as and when we need it. All the staff are incredibly helpful, kind and supportive. They go above and beyond to ensure that we, as the landlords, are happy with how our house is to be managed. No question or request was ever too much for them and would return to them again and again. You can trust them with so much. They put you first and make a stressful situation seem a lot more manageable. Would recommend to everybody.

Please tell me why you think it's acceptable to drive 35mph in a 50 along a straight A road! So annoying! Speed up!

When selling our house last year, we got to know all the estate agents in Wickham pretty well. Byrne Runciman were head-and-shoulders above the rest. Thoroughly professional and knowledgeable, they're also very friendly and efficient. We couldn't fault their service.
