Great service

Swinburne Maddison recently handled the sale of my house. They were excellent. I dealt with Laura Duff and Katherine Stephenson who were both great. They were very patient and always happy to answer any queries - including explaining things in plain English. I’d like to thank both and highly recommend them.

House purchase

Laura was our contact at Swinburne Maddison for a house purchase as first-time buyers. She was efficient and communicative throughout the process, despite the original sale falling through due to the sellers pulling out, and was instrumental in us continuing and succeeding at the second attempt.
