Excellent team very considerate and found reliable and honest tenants on each occasion when renting several properties that I own.
Reading previous reviews there are two sides to everyone's comments and I cannot believe some of the responses from people who are clearly hiding behind their computer without discussing with the agent.
Would highly recommend as I have bought, rented and sold through this agent.
Thank you Andrew and David.

I lived at this property with Mr Alldred for a number of years and during our time there we improved the property which was run down and in desperate need of refurbishment. We decorated the property to a good standard and left the property fully cleaned and in good condition. There was no damage caused and upon an inspecti ...
