    May Whetter & Grose have been recognised for its outstanding customer service to its clients by the biggest award scheme in the UK residential property industry - The ESTAS Customer Service Awards

    The ESTAS sponsored by Zoopla honours the best estate agents in the UK based on research carried out amongst customers who are asked a series of questions about the service they have received during the home moving process. This year again saw record entries making the competition the toughest yet and one of the biggest surveys in the UK property industry with 40,000 customers completing one of the online ESTAS surveys.

    Estate agents have been shortlisted in 30 regions around the UK. The regional and national winners will be announced at the 16th annual ESTAS ceremony at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London on 10th May. The awards will be presented by TV property expert Phil Spencer in front of 1,000 of the UK's top property professionals, Spencer said "The ESTAS are special because shortlisted and winning firms are selected purely on the service delivered to customers and I don't think there can be a greater honour in the industry (or in any industry for that matter) than to receive an award based on that mantra."
    Simon Brown, founder of The ESTAS says "At ESTAS we're proud to say we believe in old fashioned values like customer service. We know how hard it is to deliver it - week in week out - that's why we put the spotlight on property firms who are committed to providing excellent service. The ESTAS brand can help generate consumer trust for all property professionals involved in the home moving process."

    May Whetter & Grose are proud to offer a selection of property across the region.

    Our shortlisting for an ESTAS customer service award has been achieved due to client reviews given from sellers AND buyers.

    We will register your details & search requirements in full and do our very best to find you your next home, keeping in regular contact with you with our available properties. 

    Unlike many estate agents, once we agree a sale for you we don't just leave it to the solicitors, we will communicate with all parties involved to get to exchange and completion - moving can be one of the most stressful times of your life and there is a lot to think about - removals, insurances, mortgage offers, searches, and utilities etc.

    All our team are at the other end of the phone, only happy to help with any questions.

    (We strongly advise you to call and register your details with us).
