From the initial Rightmove website enquiry, to taking possession of our newly rented property we were very pleased with the high level of customer service and professionalism exercised by the team at Colin Dean. Specifically our Lettings Negotiator; Stacey Churchward who acted above and beyond any expectation in negotiating special terms between our prospective landlord and I. Stacey displayed passion for her role and outstanding levels of business acumen. All enquiries were dealt with in a prompt and efficient manner enabling the completion of the agreement to be achieved in the soonest possible time. Referencing was dealt with within 1 working day and with very little effort on our part.

Having dealt with numerous Letting Agents in letting previous properties, it was refreshing to experience a high standard of customer service being offered to the prospective tenant and not just the landlord. Colin Dean is well in touch with what we would define as value and has re-established my confidence in the sector.

I would have no reservations in recommending this agent to my colleagues, friends or family.
