We would like to thank Knight Frank and particularly Tim C and James A for their great communication and professionalism during our hunt for a new house. We had identified a property that we really wanted but the journey to completion proved to be a rollercoaster of uncertainty.The house finally completed at the end of November and we are now looking forward to our first Christmas in our beautiful new home. Thank you once again. Andy and Belinda

We dealt with James A, and Tim who were full of well directed energy from the start. We hoped for a smooth sale and completion and it couldn’t have been better from start to finish. Despite a tough market they found the perfect buyers and delivered on a smooth process. I would highly recommend Knight Frank Guildford.

James A, Tim C and the team at Knight Frank Guildford provided a very professional and efficient service on the sale of my house. The photographs and brochure were excellent. Tim deserves special mention as he was proactive in finding the right buyer, and communicated exceptionally well throughout, with prompt feedback after viewings and regular updates; phone calls and messages were always returned, and it has been a pleasure to work with him. I have no hesitation in recommending Knight Frank.

We completed on our sale last week prior to our relocation to the South West. Great and professional service from James Ackerley, Tim Chapman and the team. Brochure & the photography really looked very good indeed. A difficult market but we were pleased with the price achieved and most importantly the process completed. I'd recommend the KF Guildford team to sell your home !

James and the team sold our house within two weeks of putting it on the market. This was a result of careful pricing and excellent marketing. The brochure was beautifully put together. Not too much text but lovely pictures that showed off the family house and garden. Not least Knight Frank helped things along to get us through to the exchange of contracts! Many thanks for good advice and support.

James G and James A were highly professional throughout the buying process. They provided a bespoke service helping with my search, and all of the viewings with James G were very comprehensive and professional (especially when compared to other agents). I would highly recommend Knight Frank Guildford, and would definitely use them for any future sale.

Great service from Knight Frank Guildford team - James A, James G and Edward C. In the face of good competition, they were persuasive in saying they could achieve a better price than others, with high quality materials (very good brochure / photography) and a discrete, targeted campaign. It's not an easy market currently but they found a good buyer ready to proceed. Thanks again. Recommend for Guildford properties, large or small.

Knight Frank, Guildford is the best in the area by far. For our sale, we dealt with James Ackerley and James Godley who were excellent throughout and made a very good team. Between them they negotiated the best price and made the sale go through, managing to keep all parties happy. They were also able to help with our onward purchase and so everything has worked out perfectly for us.

Having recently completed on a lovely country house in Surrey for clients, I am pleased we were buying through Knight Frank, and in particular, Julia Meadowcroft. Julia was extremely approachable and transparent throughout the whole transaction and helped maintain excellent communications at all times. I would have no hesitation in recommending Knight Frank's Guildford office and look forward to working with Julia and her colleagues again in the future.
