Mr and Mrs Wilkes

“It would be hard to improve your service as I have been kept up to date with information at all times during the sale of my property. As we live some three hours away from the recent property sale it was greatly appreciated that local tradespeople were arranged by yourselves to enable the sale. Great to deal with Philip and Robert with their help and knowledge of the property. ”
