We brought a property from Pike smith and Kemp last November and Jason was extremely helpful the whole way through. We did suffer some delays but these were down to the solicitors not Pike Smith & Kemp. Jason was always at the end of the phone and nothing was too much trouble, no matter how many questions i asked him! Thanks again!

Lovely theatre oozing with history and character and good sound from the stage. Easily accessible with convenient parking and excellent restaurants nearby. Friendly staff and great shows keep us coming back. Paid for parking via an app, but couldn't use my advantage card, so get there early if you have one otherwise you'll pay the full price.

Report
Had a very bad experience with these agents. They forgot about the checkout date & decided to do it when they felt like it. They then took close up photographs of the property to try their best to make me liable for damages even though the check in photographs were totally different. For the duration of the tenancy they were actually good to be fair and communicated with the tenants well & got issues fixed quickly with the landlady. Unfortunately two of the staff tarnished the reputation for me & one of them was the manager.
