Seller Testimonial

Brilliant service unlike Purple Bricks

From start to finish we had a professional and caring service. Nothing was too much trouble. We transferred to Sims Williams because we received no advice from Purple Bricks who were happy to take our money and charge separately for a viewing that never took place. We got this money back, but it should never have been taken! Thanks again Sims Williams.

above and beyond what we'd expected from an agent

We cannot fault the service and friendly attitude from the staff, especially Lin. From start to finish, our queries were always promptly answered and our chain was chased efficiently. We were selling our house via a different agent and buying through Sims Williams but wish we had sold through them as the service they provided was above and beyond what we'd expected from an agent, especially in comparison to our selling agent (Cubitt and West). Thank you for everything, we are now very happy in our forever home!
