A highly efficient service
I have just completed the sale of a managed property. It was a long journey to completion as there were complications along the way, but these were dealt with promptly and with determination and I felt supported and well-informed throughout the process. The initial information provided on the service was clearly set-out and easy to understand. Any questions or requests for information which I asked were dealt with immediately and in a friendly, helpful way.

She was fabulous as always and so supportive.
