Very knowledgeable about area and gave realistic and accurate advice on marketing and price. Actively vetted potential buyers so that only the very serious viewed the property. After acceptance of offer the progression service was very effective at liaising with other agents and solicitors and pushing the sale to exchange and completion. Service is highly recommended.

I'd love to put 6, but can't so I'll just give a 5 star review.
James Hall, my agent, has mutual friends, as we lived fairly close by a few years ago.
When I decided to sell my house, I had all the usual local suspects over, ...

Thanks for the lovely review Ms VA, I am massively appreciative. I'm glad you were very happy with the result and our hard work to get your sale through in light of the mortgage hurdles the buyer had to overcome. I'm looking forward to working again with you in the new year. ...

As a landlord you occasionally have tenants who transform your once well maintained desirable property into the complete opposite. I had an idea marketing the property was going to be a challenge when I instructed FNW and another Agent.

Wow, thanks Joe. I was a little nervous when we met asking if you'd be prepared after such a horrible time to find more money, but I'm glad you trusted me and the result is exactly what I believed we could achieve. I'm really very grateful for your belief in my advice and although I did a little more than usual, I was also enjoying it too, and it didn't feel like I was doing anything other than being the most honest agent I could for you. Thank you for the business, and please do mention me t ...
