As part of my job, I sell and buy at least one property a year so I am not a novice and I can confidently spot amateurish performance when I see it. I one hundred percent agree with the comments that Paul left on 15th ...

I used Bourne (ex-Keats) for rental management between 2014-7 and subsequently for sale in 2017. During 2014-7, the rental management team reported on issues and provided timely maintenance on the rented property. In addition, they provided an excellent shield of protection against an unreasonable residental association ...

Dear Paul, I am devastated that you did not feel you got the service from us that you deserved - in my 30 years of estate agency I have never before received such comments but despite this; once is still too many in my view. I therefore wish to apologise if your interpretation of our service did not match your expectations as I am a great believer in dealing with all my customers as I would like to be dealt with myself. I would like to point out though that we did generate over 30 viewings and ...

Thank you for your comment on our All Agents review page, it's disappointing to hear that you haven't received the care and attention you would expected from our services, for which we apologise profusely. I am sure there are many reasons as to why, however, Bourne take all reviews constructively and professionally and will always endeavour to better ourselves based on experiences from customers and clients. We would appreciate the opportunity to rectify this and I would appreciate the time ...
