House sale

We have used Miller Hendry for years, having sold 2 house of our own as well as having them draw up our wills. However when it came to selling my Dads house, which was at the lower value end, the service was not as good as we had experienced previously. The schedule was poor and photographs substandard, so much so we took better ones which we asked to be added to the schedule. They were very uncommunicative about who was viewing and when. The main point was that the set of keys we had provided went missing after they were posted to the buyers surveyor, we then had to go get a new set made. the fault according to your staff was with the buyers surveyors having assured us the keys were in the envelope, but surely the keys shouldn't have been posted in the first place. We are planning on selling our house but not with Miller Hendry, really sorry as we have always had great service in the past.

The whole experience of the sale from initial contact with the estate agency to the conclusion was taken care of seamlessly. I found everyone to be easy to talk to and they did what they said they would in a timely manner. I always felt supported.

House sale

We have recently sold a house through Miller Hendry. The sale was very complicated and took a long time to settle. The staff were kind patient and understanding. They answered our queries promptly and professionally. We would have no hesitation in recommending David Smart.

It was reassuring to know that David Smart was dealing with the sale of our house. He ensured we were kept up-to-date with all the relevant information and by doing so we felt the whole process went very smoothly.

Having had a very good experience with the estate agency part of the firm, the conveyancing work was very well managed. In particular we were kept up to date with progress near settlement.

Sale of 3D Daniel St Dundee

After a very long and protracted ’sale’ experience with much delay regarding purchaser’s finances, relating to a buy to let mortgage, we finally got it over the line. Patience and perseverance, won out in the end.

Shona Douglas certainly went the extra mile for my wife and I when we needed a little help. Very professional, courteous and helpful. I would fully recommend them.

I have been delighted with the service I have received from Miller Hendry through dealing with my brother's estate, updating my will and finally dealing with house deeds. All staff have been understanding, efficient and quick to respond.
