First class service!!

I'm writing this reveiw on behalf of my elderly father who has now had to move into a care home. We have therefore had to sell his property to fund his care. Dealing with Gemma and all her colleagues at Hansells have made this process so much easier. They have been so kind,caring and helpful to us and especially to my father. We would just like to thank you and all your staff for helping with the sale which has now been completed! Highly recommended!!!!!

A successful outcome to an eventful but not very straightforward sale. This was completely down to a most knowledgeable and determined group of highly professional and sympathetic individuals. Thank you so much

Remortgage / Lifetime Mortgage

From my first initial contact via my financial advisor, all correspondence was dealt with in a prompt, efficient manner, using language that was easy to understand. When I then met Craig Gosling at the Norwich offices of Hansells, he was welcoming, approachable and happy to answer all my questions without rushing. I am very glad that Hansells were recommended to me and I will certainly recommend them to anyone else.

I much appreciated the professionalism of the staff at Hansells that were involved in the sale of my property recently. As these matters often do, it took some time from start to completion but overall any queries were dealt with quickly and efficiently. It is quite possible I shall be needing their services again in the not to distant future and would not hesitate to recommend them.
