Complex property Purchase

Kim, absolutely excelled at every point, the approach she had to making sure our purchase stayed on track was impeccable. I couldn't have asked for anymore, would thoroughly recommend Kim to anyone for their residential purchase.

House Purchase

Kim was absolutely excellent throughout the process of purchasing our first property. We were very nervous as we needed to be out of our rental property asap and had concerns about how long things could potentially take to complete. Kim ensured that we stayed a step ahead at all times so that there would never be a delay on our side. We ended up completing in under 7 weeks which is something we didn't even consider would be possible. I honestly cannot recommended Kim and H&S enough.

Bad service

I did not feel that my initial instructions were taken into account for this purchase. The advise was to use the management company and property agents experience to purchase a vacant holiday let. This took over 6mths to complete.

Absolutely outstanding. We were on a very tight deadline, Barbara and her team were fantastic. I can not recommend them enough. They were so patient, kind and professional throughout. Any questions we had they were always so quick to answer. Buying a house in such a short amount of time was challenging but Barbara did it. Thank you.

I used Thomas Murray from the Wills& Probate. My circumstances were particularly unusual. Thomas was so supportive I honestly do not know how I would or even if I would've got through it all. He even took time to speak with me out of office working hours and days. I highly recommend Thomas at Holley & Steer. I recently contacted Thomas to discuss my own Will and it was drawn up, signed and in my possession within 3 hours. Thank you Thomas for everything
