Buyer Testimonial
Brilliant from start to finishWe've just completed our purchase of a property marketed by Symonds & Sampson, dealing primarily with Julie Moore. They were brilliant from start to finish and in particular were really proactive, speaking to parties up and down the chain in order to keep things moving. They were also just thoroughly pleasant to deal with. As I was the buyer it's worth noting I wasn't actually Symonds & Sampson's client so they didn't owe me anything, but I think it's a mark of their professionalism that they built such a good relationship with me as the buyer in order to deliver for their client.
