We chose to put our house on the market with Peter Heron as we'd used them before and received a brilliant service, we had the same this time round. The photos always stand out on Rightmove too and we knew our house would be marketed to look it's best. From valuation through to completion, the team have been fantastic. Miss H, October 2024.

I live in Wirral but had to sell the family home in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear. Peter Heron was recommended and I used them for the probate valuation and subsequently for the sale of the property. Professional at all times and got the job done. There was the odd hiccup along the way, as one would expect when selling a property long-distance, however everything was smoothed out very quickly and to everyone's satisfaction. Mrs L, Ryhope - March 2023.
