      ...positive, constructive, and supportive.
      Dear Jon I am writing, belatedly, to provide feedback on our recent experience of Thomas Merrifield in the purchase of  Xxxxx Cottage in Charlton on Otmoor. During the purchase process we were in regular contact with Sharon and Sarah. There were numerous issues that arose between the vendor and us and involving the solicitors, exchange and completion. Through all this, we found Sharon and Sarah consistently positive, constructive, and supportive. They always struck the right tone in communications - oral and written - while maintaining their professional demeanour. They were able to navigate potentially difficult exchanges and help resolve problems as these arose. I can honestly say that I have never before had such a positive experience of dealing with an estate agent. Sharon and Sarah are credits to the company. I should also take this opportunity to thank you Jon for your assistance as well. Regards M Exxxxx
