    Thank you - Excellent service

    A most pleasant experience, selling and buying property can be stressful, but not on this occasion. Thank you to Sara Smith for the seamless, professional, friendly and efficient handling of our sale. Visiting the Maidstone office was also a good experience. Reception staff and office staff were efficient, friendly and welcoming, such a nice environment to be in. I would have no hesitation in recommending Brachers to friends and family.

    Alan John's experience...

    Everyone that I have had the pleasure of speaking to, and working with at Brachers, has been professional and easy to deal with, despite the challenges of both my sale and my purchase. It has not been an easy journey, due to matters completely outside of our influence, but we carried on and saw it through to successful fruition on both the sale and the purchase. The one thing has to be the support for my family and I through it all.

From the date we accepted the offer on our house, Sara and her team managed to help achieve completion in 8 weeks. This would have been even quicker without the Christmas break.

      My experience of solicitors engaged to support the many house moves over the years has been, at it's best, adequate. None have ever gone over & above, it has always seemed like they are going through the motions & actually didn't care that much whether the sales were completed or not. That is until my father-in-law engaged Brachers & we were assigned Tim Lancaster. Why any different? Well Tim seemed to care; always quickly responsive to queries/concerns answering in plain English to make things easily understandable for us. He wasn't just a name at the end of an email but someone we met & conversed with. He was kind, thoughtful - human! - & we cannot thank him enough for enabling such a smooth process. Should we choose to move in the future, I would not hesitate seeking his service again. Thank you Tim.
