We chose Brachers to handle our property sale and were thoroughly impressed with the service Tim provided. He was highly professional, prompt in responding to emails, and always clear in answering our questions. Tim worked hard to ensure everything was in order for the exchange and kept us well-informed every step of the way. He went the extra mile to make sure the chain exchanged successfully and guided us through to completion.

Excellent service, Rachel was always on top of everything , chasing the right people etc, and always responded to any questions I had very promptly.
Brachers are not the cheapest around but they are reasonably priced and are definitely worth more than every penny they charge.
I also really like the app. Last time I used Brachers this wasn’t about and it makes such a difference, making everything so much easier.
