    Testimonials from Sellers

    • Seller Testimonial

      Thank you again for your support.
      I wanted to express in wiring my sincere thanks and appreciation of all the hard work and support you have provided me with the sale of my late father's property. Lane & Holmes is the best estate agent I or my husband have ever worked with in either buying or selling a home. You have made me feel valued as a customer and that in managing the sale you have been looking after my interests as the seller and not trying to sell it to the first person at the lowest possible price. I have really appreciated the fact that you have managed absolutely everything related to showing interested buyers around the house and all associated follow-up visits. The information that you have provided regarding any enquiries and subsequent visits has been excellent. Please can you also think Cathy for the help she provided in finding an appropriate contractor and for arranging the work they undertook. I will have no hesitation in recommending Lane & Holmes to any friends or relatives looking to either sell or buy homes as your service have been second to none. Thank you again for your support. DS

      Communication was great.
      Lane And Holmes did a great job selling my property for me. I had a buyer within a week and the sale went through in a couple of months. Communication was great.....this was particularly important to me. All the staff are great but a particular mention goes to Ross who pulled out all the stops when it looked like the chain might collapse. He was very reassuring and really earned his money on this one. I highly recommend these guys! JW

    • Seller Testimonial

      Dear Andrew, A sincere thank you for you kindness and support. It's been a real pleasure doing business with you and the team. From the initial valuation and sound advice on setting the asking price. The price I accepted was exactly the one I wanted and I do hope the new owners will be as happy as I was. I've been incredibly impressed with the professionalism, approachability friendliness and expertise of the Lane & Holmes team. I highly value the real time email updates about viewers and viewings and found the viewers' feedback invaluable. Special thanks to Cathy and Ross and everyone else who has been involved in making this a worry free and enjoyable experience. I was approached quite a few times by people wanting to arrange a private sale with me to 'save the estate agent fees'. Frankly this was never an option as I wanted the best professionals to handle the sale for me and I must say not only was the fee very reasonable it was worth every penny! I have already and will continue to recommend Lane & Holmes. Yours Sincerely CH
