Both Claire and her assistant, Felicity, were professional in their work, but also very reassuring to converse with. They always spoke so I could understand them and as importantly they listened so they understood me.

FBC Manby is very professional. I just completed my house purchase and this is the first time I purchase a home in UK. Charlotte handles my transaction and she is very patient to explain everything to me, attentive to details, and offers professional advice whenever problem arise. Charlotte always responses to my enquiry/email quickly and never miss any items. As I was in a long chain, FBC has helped to follow up closely and I can finally buy my desired house successfully . Thank you FBC Manby & Charlotte ! I would highly recommend this company.
