        ...very professional, efficient, friendly...
        Having viewed around 50 properties with various agents beforehand, our first experience with Charters provided us with a perfect new home. The house had just been taken on and Hayley arranged our viewing before it even went on the market. We loved it right away and Sarah was great in helping us make our offer and "seal the deal" roughly 45 minutes after viewing. Both Hayley and Sarah have been very professional, efficient, friendly and approachable since that day. I would highly recommend them both to give excellent advice and guidance throughout the process of finding and selecting the right property. Thank you both so much. Steve B
