Tenants
Frustrated with the current market?
“They are not like so many other agents that show families around properties that go into a lottery with landlords, knowing they will probably never get it. [Katie] took it straight off the market when we showed that we loved it and wanted to try and secure the property. Such a relief after searching for over 6 months trying to find somewhere. I can’t thank them enough and they will never properly understand what a difference they have made to our lives”
