First Choice Move, Lillyhall

We have had some scary moments with the sale as my buyers original buyer pulled out at the last minute. First choice worked really hard and actually secured the sale again the very next day.Thanks everyone Wendy Parker, Egremont

When we started looking for an agent to sell our house in Cumbria most agents were quoting rates of 1% or higher and a lead time of up to two years! First Choice Move offered to sell the house on the basis of a small upfront fee plus a small fee upon sale. Other options were also given to us. First Choice Move took photographs, arranged floorplans etc and in a matter of days had the property up on their website. First Choice Move arranged and conducted viewings and gave us a comprehensive report on how the sale was going at least once a week as well as feedback on every viewing. Within less than 2 months First Choice Mover had found a Buyer and the transaction was fully completed in less than 6 months from start to finish. The service from First Choice Move was professional and effective throughout and I would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone selling a house in Cumbria. Tony Harpur, Drigg, Holmrook

Your team were very prompt, efficient and very friendly.I would choose to use you again to sell my house. I do believe with First Choice Move I got the quick sale that I was after, due to again the team being quick and efficient.If you want to sell your house choose First Choice. Thanks Corrina from Egremont

On behalf of myself and David, Thank you for the great service you provided and for making an effort driving down to Millom to take the photos of the house.We were very pleased with the photos that were taken and the description of the house. The advertisement on Rightmove and zoopla was brilliant and definitely aided the sale. All the staff we spoke with are extremely friendly and helpful and communicated with us extremely well during the house viewings and always informed us what was going on. We also felt as though at a fixed price which was paid upfront, we always felt we we're given attention and excellent service and attitude. I have already recommended First choice to a number of people. Still can't believe how quick the house sold!Thanks again. Nadia Reed, Millom

Many Thanks to Chris and all the team at First Choice Move for their professional services and their efforts in achieving a sale for our home in Seascale. Having been on the market a little too long we decided to change agents to First Choice Move and it was the best decision we could have made, achieving that all important sale very quickly. My wife & I were attracted to First Choice Move when we took time out to look at how our home was being marketed and compared it to the strategy of other agents and sellers. It quickly became apparent that where first impressions matter, First Choice Move have it nailed. The photography is far superior to most other agents in my opinion, showing properties to their best potential and therefore much more likely to attract viewings. Increase viewings and your chances of achieving the sale also increase, so we put this together with the sensible advice given on asking prices and the variety of easy to understand fee options and decided that the First Choice Move package is just about right for today's housing market. I would happily recommend giving First Choice Move a try. It was certainly the right choice for us. Mark & Julie Southward, Seascale.

We had our property for sale with first choice we fully highly recommend them to anyone great team kept us posted on every viewing and update on everything friendly took amazing photos of house and sold within 8 weeks .Thanks guys . Best wishes Alyson and Don, Pica

To all at First Choice Move.This is just a note from us to you to say thank you to you all for the absolutely first class service you provided us with when we decided to move home,,,Whoever came up with the conclusion that moving home is one of the most stressful times you will have ,,was correct !! , BUT THE SERVICE YOU PROVIDED MOST DEFINITELY HELPED TO RELIEVE SOME OF THAT STRESS !! We had several quotes and valuations done before deciding to go with yourselves who were by far the cheapest of all the Estate Agents we were, I admit, just a bit skeptical at first as you were so much cheaper than the rest and thought that this may reflect in the service provided,,,this was certainly not the case.From the first meeting with Chris and his expert photography skills , right through through to the final exchanging of property keys, NOTHING and I mean NOTHING !! was a problem to any member of your team at First Choice Move who dealt with any questions we had politely, efficiently and professionally.We would like to wish you all good luck for the future,hope you go from strength to strength and we will definitely recommend you to anyone who is thinking about moving home or selling property,it was a pleasure dealing with you.So thank you all again for your help. Kind Regards. Ean and Helen Orr". Maryport

Well done First Choice Move. Yet another success. From cradle to grave you have done it yet again. Thank you for completing tha sale of our House and taking all the presssure of us and making everything run smoothly. Great stuff. David & June. Whitehaven

I cannot recommend First Choice Move highly enough. I had my property on the market with another agent for almost 15 months with only two viewings. I switched to First Choice Move and it was sold in just 7 weeks and I moved about four weeks later. Throughout the process I had weekly updates via email informing me of how many people had viewed my property via the internet which never happened with the other agent. The service from Chris from start to finish was excellent, extremely helpful and always friendly and courteous. I also saved money on fees. A good estate agent makes a big difference and I certainly recommend First Choice Move to everyone. Sue Smith, Moss Bay Road, Workington

Yes, selling a property can be stressful but your company made it so easy we hardly knew it was happening, we cannot thank you enough for your assistance, we are also pleased we went with your recommended solicitor as this meant the whole process was so stress free. We would certainly recommend you to family, friends and colleagues, in fact I have given your number to a colleague just today who is thinking of putting their house up for sale in the new year Thank you once again, it is so refreshing to find a completely 'no fuss' estate agents like yourselves Many thanks Helen & Steven, Workington

Many thanks for arranging the sale of my property. I previously had the property on the market with another estate agent, apart from one time waster the property sat on the market for along time.I then switched to First Choice Move Ltd, who from the very start took the time to walk through all the options available to myself regarding marketing the property, and the choice of their financial fee packages available without any sales pressure at all. From the start you get the impression that they really do understand the market place they are in.The property was not on the market very long (around four months) and I have now sold the property.I would highly recommend First Choice Move Ltd to anyone looking to sell a property. The whole team are very enthusiastic, nothing is ever a problem, you are kept informed at all stages, and for the fees you really could not get a better deal anywhere else. Thanks again on a fantastic job. Scott High Harrington

I originally had my property marketed with another agent for 12 months(only 1 viewing in this time), I decided to change to First Choice Move as they seemed to be the only agent actually selling houses, I'm pleased I did as my house sold soon after. very professional family run company, customer service was excellent, highly recommend Adam Wright, Harrington

We have truly appreciated and valued your service and would certainly recommend you to others thinking of selling their home. It's great to deal with an estate agent that knows the market and advices accordingly. Many thanks Marie Shawcross, Egremont

We've been in our new property a week already and are so pleased we finally moved! We love our new house. What at first seemed to be a straight forward sale became a truly stressful event for us. Thank you so much for all of the too-ing and fro-ing you did between ourselves and the buyers and for stoping the sale falling through on more than once occasion. You more than earned your fee which was incredibly competitive, we were delighted with your service and wouldn't hesitate to recommend you. In fact we already have - many times!We wish you all the best with the business and should we ever move house again we'll look you up!Many thanks, Samantha, Richard and Florence Down, High Brigham

It was refreshing to find an agent that was straight forward, uncomplicated and realistic in price. The fact that there is no hidden fees was also a plus for us after researching all of the longer established high street estate agent firms. Our property sold within FOUR DAYS of being on the market thanks to efficient and prompt assistance from First Choice Move. All our phone calls and emails were answered immediately in a professional manner. Above all else, we were particularly impressed at the proactive and enthusiastic approach offered by First Choice Move. We would highly recommend the fantastic service that we have received. Angela and Rob Bell, Main Street, Maryport

We'd like to thank you all at First Choice Move for selling our property within just months of putting it on the market. You all provided a great service and kept us updated constantly which was very helpful and less stressful on our part. Thank you so much :-) Maria and Richard Kenyon, Cleator Moor

I'd like to thank First Choice Move for everything they have done with regards to selling my house. From start to finish they were always very helpful and dealt with everything very efficiently. There were lots of difficult barriers to cross and the whole team understood the situation I was in and overcome them very professionally. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending First Choice Move to anyone wanting to sell their property...a local company with local people in mind and I'd never consider using a high street firm after dealing with these guys! Excellent communication and updates from initial valuation right through to completion, outstanding photography (something high street firms would charge you and additional fee for) and very proactive as I had my first viewing before the house was even on the website or Right Move! Outstanding! Once again...thank you all so very much! Shaun Milburn, Workington

The service from Chris at First Choice Move was perfect, Chris knows the local market but more importantly he understands how buyers interact with the internet when searching for a new house. Chris takes a creative but analytical approach to the whole process which results in a very smooth sales experience and a serious discount when compared to the high street prices.They also sold our house in only 9 days. Ben and Cassian, Haig Ave, Whitehaven

Thank you for a first class and personal service, having moved 3 times before and used different agents I would say that first choice are the better by far and also offer a competitive and reasonable price choice. Many thanks Ann and David Cartmell, The Crest, Whitehaven

I hope you don't mind me writing, but I felt that I just had to let you know how impressed I was with how my sale was handled. I'm not going to mention specific names, of course, but I found your whole team to be efficient, professional, helpful, friendly, pleasant and, most importantly, possessed of a sense of humour (essential when dealing with someone like me!). From the initial call that I made, through the valuation process, to photographs, to viewings and on until after completion, I cannot praise your efforts enough. You said it would be done, it was done, and with a minimum of fuss. Customer care at it's finest.Thank you all and be assured that, if ever I need to sell my current property, there is only one company I shall contact.Yours very sincerely Alan Martin, Seascale

We would like to thank Chris and his team for all their help making our move go as smooth as possible. Nothing was too much trouble for Chris ,he kept us informed every step of the way. We would highly recommend using First Choice Moves to anyone planning on buying and selling. Once again Chris thank you very much. Helen and Chris Lowther Gardens Whitehaven.

I have bought and sold houses several times in the past. Some estate agents have been good whilst the service of others, rather disappointing. I used First Choice Move as two friends of mine had recommended them. The service I received was nothing short of exemplary. For personal reasons I put far more demands on Chris and his team that was within their remit quite frankly. and yet every request was met quickly, efficiently and further more, with good grace. If you are looking to sell or buy, look no further, you will not be disappointed. Mrs Stockton, Cleator

Only had our property on the market for only 8 days and got us 13 viewings! Can't believe how quickly it sold. The whole FCM team are friendly and efficient. Questions are answered quickly, calls are returned and the price was right! Communication was first class. Great service all round and would happily recommend to anyone. Mark Fisher, Seaton

Since we first put our house up with First Choice Move, we have noticed the red signs popping up everywhere. Now as we complete our sale, I can understand why. Chris and his team have offered us nothing but excellent service, and gone way above their role as estate agents during our sale. Their longer hours & weekend service made it easier for us as we work full time & we found they were on a pers...onal level with us rather than just a number like with high street chains we have used in the past. Nothing was ever a bother & I would highly recommend them to anyone who is considering putting their house for sale. If anyone can sell your house, it will be Chris & his team.Thanks Steph & Steven Power, Cleator Moor

We have moved (locally) many times over the years and have always used the existing estate agents in Cockermouth. This time we decided to use Frist Choice Moves largely because of the difference in charges. We were very impressed by the standard of service, communications, and advice on how best to use online marketing services (Rightmove). One area that stood out to us was the photography of the property. The latest equipment, digital enhancement and advice on furniture position and layout led to fantastic pictures. We feel this made our house stand out against other properties and really contributed to our quick sale. Two days to sell a £400+k house in the Cockermouth area was more than we could have hoped for. Paying 1/10th of the fees we would have paid elsewhere almost paid for our stamp duty bill. We'd like to thank the team at First Choice Moves for their help, we will definitely be using you again Regards Andrew, Sandra, Nina & Eve

Many thanks to the team at First Choice Move for the first class service you provided in the sale of our property, we experienced the feeling of being friends rather than just another customer and would certainly recommend you to any potential property vendors, once again, many thanks, Gordon and Sandra Bowes, Distington

Just a quick email to thank you all for a smooth house sale. I will certainly recommend your Company for anyone looking to buy or sell a property. I found your longer working hours a bonus for anyone who works full time and you were always there at the end of the phone and kept me constantly updated on any issues raised by my buyer. Also your three payment options for your selling fees was a welcome change from other estate agents I had encountered.Once again, thank you for your excellent attention to detail and service. Joanne Fox, Keekle

We were impressed with Chris from the moment we met him. He has a very professional but friendly manner. Our house sold in a matter of hours on the same day it was advertised on the First Choice website. Unfortunately, the sale took some time to complete, but this was through no fault of FCM. However, Chris and the team took every opportunity to keep us updated. Altogether, FCM does indeed offer a first choice and value for money service. Gordon and Sylvia, Workington

Just recently used First Choice move to sell our property and would highly recommend them to anyone considering an estate agents.The customer service we received was excellent and they always kept us in the loop.Thank you. Would definitely use again in the future. xx Lindsey & Mark Cairns, Workington

Thank you all so much for all the help you gave in selling my property. I was very pleased with the service i received from First Choice Move. I found the staff friendly and helpfull and received first class service from the initial contact, through valuation, marketing of my property, arranging veiwings, to the sale of my property.I would recommend First Choice Move to anyone wanting to sell their property.Many thanks to you all Fiona, Dearham

A BIG thank you to all the team at First Choice - This is our 3rd. successful sale using the services of First Choice and we cannot recommend this company highly enough . Not only is the service second to none but their commission rates make all of the other agents quotes look ridiculously high - going by the rate at which they are growing their portfolio they have obviously identified a long awaited market for people wishing to realize a swift and effortless sale at a reasonable cost. Andrew Shubrook

First Choice Move completely exceeded our expectations having previously been let down by other agents in the past. The service received was outstanding and our property was quickly sold. In our opinion First Choice Move set the benchmark for estate agents and we wish them every continued success in the future. Mr and Mrs Oliver Whitehaven
