Howard's were superb from start to finish.
In particular, Gemma was fantastic with ensuring we got a good deal on our sale. She was very quick with email responses and she provided updates on the progress of our sale and answered any questions which we had (which was quite a lot - sorry!) quickly and comprehensively.
Amy Grey was also very helpful.

In a difficult market, it took a while and a drop in price before a concrete offer was received.

We are really sorry and surprised to hear this, we understand that although we were very prompt preparing all marketing, pro-active in achieving a sale for your property in great time and at the asking price, on this isolated occasion it seems that somehow we appear to have 'dropped the ball' in terms of overall service and communication to satisfy you as our valued client, which I must say is extremely rare from this office and I can only apologise. We do try our very best and work hard for all ...
