Fantastic service from start to finish

I have used Janine at W&AS Bruce many times when buying and selling property over the years. The service Janine gives is second to none. She always keeps me updated on the progress and replies to any of my queries in a timely manner. I will continue to use Janine in the future and would highly recommend her

Janine handled the sale of our house very well. Absolutely no dramas and all queries dealt with straight away.

All's Well That Ends Well!

We recently sold our house & purchased our new home, having chosen W & A S Bruce, as they had helped us out recently with wills & POA's . We had the unfortunate experience of the would-be buyer of our house backing out of the sale, but,thanks to Janine & the estate agent, things were soon back on track. The sale was duly completed & our new house purchased very quickly. Many thanks to Janine for her work & for keeping me informed throughout.

Excellent (neurodivergent friendly) DEI

I spoke with Janine and explained that I was neurodivergent and they may need to be a bit patient with me. She was absolutely fantastic advised it wasn’t an issue and she would be happy to go at my speed. That was a huge relief to me and I knows then I was in good hands.

Used W & AS Bruce as first time buyers and couldn’t fault the service we received. Craig was excellent and kept us right throughout the purchase process, answering all of our questions and queries no matter how silly. The whole process was a breeze and we got our keys within 6 weeks of having an offer accepted. If I could give Craig more stars I would, HIGHLY recommend!
