First class service - thank you Emma!

Thank you Emma for making our first time buying experience so easy and straight forward! Emma was excellent throughout and answered any questions we had in a timely manner and always took the time to explain everything to us. Emma had great legal knowledge and we really appreciated her guidance, with being first time buyers. We would recommend Emma and Whitehead Monkton to anyone and will certainly be back! Thank you again!

It has been a pleasure to work with Demi. She made the entire process easy and safe for us. She was always available whenever we needed; shared our concerns during such a naturally stressful and anxious process; and smoothly led us to the completion. We would highly recommend her and WM Canterbury team to anyone!

I’ve used Sadie Webb at Whitehead Monckton for multiple property sales now and she has been absolutely smashing.
They always answer calls and emails promptly and are very thorough. I would highly recommend her for any exchange needs and will certainly use her again in future.

Having worked with Marsha Marriner on several files and house sales i can say that i have always found her very responsive and that the process has always been very efficient. She is a good person to have on the buying or selling team. I look forward to the next opportunity to work alongside her and Whitehead Monckton.
