I bought my house through Slee Blackwell 14 years ago so thought I’d sell it through them too. They were very on the ball and the whole process was painless for once. 2 months from start to finish which I was very pleased with. I found Steph and Mel to be very responsive and straight forward.
No hesitation in recommending their services. Thank you!
