    Testimonials from Buyers

    • Buyer Testimonial

      "This is the third house that Robinsons have sold for us over and yet again we have been extremely pleased with their service. Robinsons are ahead of the game as regards Online viewing. The quality of the video tour was exceptional and our purchaser was not disappointed when they booked to view and commented on how good the video walk through was. During the whole process Robinsons kept us informed and updated on both the sale of our home and the purchase of our new home (we purchased via Robinsons as well). I have no hesitation in recommending Robinsons 100%. They work hard in the interest of their customers whilst also maintaining a very approachable, friendly and professional attitude. Nothing is to much bother. If I could give 6? I would."¿ Mr & Mrs S (May 2021)
