      A couple of months ago we completed a house move that had several challenging issues over a stressful 10 months. Early on Jack Wall at Steven Oates far surpassed the level of service we anticipated, and this was maintained throughout. Jack worked tirelessly, often getting involved on days off and going well beyond what we expected, chasing and at times managing the chain below. We were regularly updated in an efficient and professional manner.On the odd occasion that Jack was absent the service levels were maintained through Lisa Purdy and Sam Dennison.We would have no hesitation in recommending them for your house transaction.
