All the staff at W&D were sensitive and helpful right from the outset, from the initial valuation through to completion. I was selling my late Mum's property and they gave honest and helpful advice and then made just one follow up call, NO PRESSURE to make a quick decision or use them, unlike some other "pushy" agents a few doors away! Once I'd chosen W&D, the staff kept in regular contact, by phone and email, right through to the day of completion, with particular help from Paul and Jo. I couldn't have asked for a better service - just under four months from putting it on the market to completion! Thanks very much, Nick.

Don't buy through these guys. We tried to buy a property, I pronounced the road name slightly wrong, they laughed at me.

In the unlikely circumstance a client feels unhappy with our service we have a in house complaints procedure however failing this we subscribe to the National Association of Estate Agents and the Property Ombudsman who act as a third party to resolve disputes.
