Here’s what our customers say…

“I have only absolute praise for this company. Callum and Philip's help, advice and patience proved invaluable in my purchase of a beautiful holiday home on a marina. Callum facilitated unrushed viewings, with ingenious advice regarding how I could adapt the property to my specification. He proved to be the ultimate professional in conducting negotiations between myself and the vendors. Philip kept regular 'phone contact throughout to answer my questions and follow up on progress. They both demonstrated that they really care about both sellers and buyers. I am delighted with my new property and Waterside made the whole process much easier, thank you.”

Mrs Ryan

“Thanks for your friendly, very professional service and for doing such a great job of selling our mooring plot. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Waterside and would definitely come to you again.”

Mr and Mrs Blackburn

“It has been a pleasure liaising with the team on our purchase. It was a slightly drawn out process (through no fault of Waterside), but they kept pushing in the right places assisting where they could and giving advice where required. Excellent communications, and they went over and above after the final hurdle when we found it difficult to collect our new keys during working hours. Thank you so much to the team.”

Mrs Robinson

“Members of my family and I have used Waterside Estate Agents on several occasions. We have always found them to be friendly, helpful and professional, in every transaction.”

Mr Boast

“Our house was on sale for over 12 months in a quiet market for larger properties. Waterside helped us with pricing, put a super website online (including a walk-through video), brought qualified buyers to see the house, and once a deal was done, lubricated the sale process with well-timed advice and frequent contact.”

Mr Howe

“My property was nicely photographed and well-advertised. Philip and his team were always helpful and friendly and kept me informed of all viewings. They kept me up to date with progress during the sale and were proactive in chasing up the buyer’s solicitors when necessary. I am happy to recommend their services.”

Mr Peters

“We were buying and Philip and his team kept us well informed with progress and were patient with our many visits as we deliberated about the purchase. Philip negotiated with tact and sensitivity to enable both parties to meet at a sensible price. Clearly lots of experience with riverside properties.”

Mr Hall

“Thank you for all your help with selling our cottage. This is the third property you have successfully sold for us and we would recommend you highly to anyone wishing to sell their property.”

Mr and Mrs Thompson

“From a buyers perspective, Waterside were proactive in facilitating the sale of the property. They kept us up to date with progress of the sale and responded as promptly as possible to address questions about the property.”

Mr Smith

“First class experience in the sale of our mooring plot. It was very well photographed and presented on the website. The staff were always friendly & courteous, and kept us informed on progress every step of the way.”
