Fees were in accordance with the quotation he gave us.1.25% plus VAT, but for the stress he carried on our behalf and the amount of extra work he personally undertook, he deserved far more !

There is something wrong with the review I posted. I posted a FIVE STAR Review, as Nick and his team are first class and I have dealt with them for many years. However, for some reason, it is only showing one star, I WOULD REQUEST THAT ALL AGENTS CORRECT THIS IMMEDIATELY. Thank you Mar Watson ...
