I have had a fantastic experience with this company. My property had previously been on the market with other agents but did not sell as I was selling a very unique building. I can honestly say they have looked after me from beginning to end with regular phone calls and dealing with all the small details . A huge thank you to Melissa who works for Knight Frank who has been exceptional. She really has been a great person to work with and has gone above and beyond to make my sale happen. She gave me great advise and always kept in touch throughout the sale. Thank you for your perseverance. HIGHLY recommended.

Harlan and Fiona delivered outstanding service during the sale of my property. Not living in the UK and being unfamiliar with British law, they guided me from beginning to end with true professionalism, courtesy and friendliness. They make a great team and I highly recommend them to anyone thinking of selling their property.

They went above and beyond to ensure the transaction went smoothly. Thank you, we so appreciate all your hard work and dedication.

Friendly, efficient and completed! Daniel, Fiona and the team dealt with all of the issues professionally and were always courteous and patient. Knowledge of the local market was key to a successful transaction and Daniel's comprehensive understanding ensured that we found the right buyer quickly, the price was negotiated and Daniel ensured that the process kept on track and, in a timely fashion, completed. I would thoroughly recommend Knight Frank

Harlan has been absolutely brilliant, a true star. His patience, tact, professionalism and knowledge of the market are all exemplary. He has been uniformly positive, humorous and helpful throughout our lengthy and stressful selling process. He is always available, if he does not answer he always returns the call very quickly. The fact that we complete on Friday is almost entirely due to him. Daniel was equally helpful while Harlan was on holiday. The entire staff are focused, friendly, knowledgeable and cheerful. Every time we phoned we were greeted by name, they always knew what was happening with our sale, and they could always answer our questions. Thank you all so much. David and Anne Slater
