Thank you to the team at Wakesmith, Sheffield, for handling the sale of the house. Bonita and the team were helpful and friendly throughout the selling process. Sude supported the sale throughout by providing a professional, honest and reliable service and was always on hand to answer any queries we had. Would definitely recommend to others looking to buy or sell in the area.

Sude's approach was super professional, knowledgeable and pleasant at every turn despite my enthusiastic criticism on occasion...Her calm approach at all times reminded me of a recovery room nurse. For those who have been there will know what I mean..
