Another fantastic transaction

5

I have only used Owen White & Catlin for the last ten years or so, assisting in a number of property purchases, Anne and her team are diligent, knowledgeable and swift when needed as to not delay any deal I have been part of, I cannot recommend Anne and her colleagues enough.

Sale of My Flat

5

I was recommended OWC by a friend of mine, he said that the company had a lot of good reviews. I am so glad I chose OWC to look after the sale of my flat. The team of Anne, Ginny and Milka worked tirelessly to get the sale over the line, they provided lots of advice and communicated to me clearly. They were always at the end of phone when I needed them, I can not recommend them highly enough.

With us through every step of the process.

Both Anne Byard and Virginia Burton made the sometimes difficult and stressful process of selling our old home and then buying a new one so much easier. They were always professional but also kind and helpful. Their part in the sale and purchase went smoothly and quickly. We have been involved in house moves for our parents and had difficulties with communicating with solicitors. It was always easy to speak to Anne or Virginia and they replied quickly to emails. Each step was outlined clearly. We would recommend them .

Great Service

5

Great service as always from Anne Byard and Virginia Burton. We have been using OWC for the last 15 years and value their great communication skills, clarity and friendly manner. These are very helpful people in an industry that often seems remote and uninterested. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Reliable, helpful, totally trustworthy

5

After my father in law died, over 10 years ago, I was executor, with my wife's stepmother. It all went smoothly and the stepmum had the use of father in law's half of the house for as long as she needed it. The very fair will was drawn up by OW&C. So I ended up owning 50% of stepmum's flat in Sunbury, in trust for my wife and her 2 siblings. Now stepmum has just moved to a smaller place in Shepperton and didn't need my half so she has had it sent to me to distribute to the 3 beneficiaries and complete the probate/trustee process. All the way along Anne Byard has been clear, helpful, approachable and efficient, as have the other OW&C staff I've met over the years.

Excellent Professionalism

5

This is the second time I have engaged OWC, so grateful for their professionalism, kindness, out of hours / over and above help with our sale and purchase.
Always got through when calling and were my go to rather than our estate agent as I knew they would answer my questions and get back to me if information was required.
