Absolutely excellent. Understanding and supportive during this stressful time of selling my house. Arranged viewings and conducted them professionally for me. Kept in contact and provided feedback from potential buyers. Kept in touch with my buyer while I found a property to buy. I would completely recommend this company.

Happy words from our customers

 

 

Julie and her team handled the purchasing of my new home. I was unsure about my decision to move location as this was all new to me so I had no idea on how the process goes. If I did not understand a certain term or had a query, Julie, Debbie or Lisa were always ready to help and kept me informed at all times along the way. Julie also chased up things on my behalf which made the process stress-free and able for me to be in my new home as quickly as possible. (Particularly as time was not on my side, I was moving to be closer to a family member)

I would highly recommend Julie and her administration team, an extremely efficient and friendly group who provided 110% customer service. A credit to Cartwright Hands.

Choosing Cartwright Hands as the estate agent to sell my property was a no brainer. Communication throughout. The whole process was great and I was ever left without an update from booking viewings all the way through to completion. I would recommend them 100% and intend to use them in the future. Thank you so much.

It was one of those sales that took ages because of problems further down the line. The Cartwright Hands staff have been great throughout, organising cleaners because we couldn't and always being kind and courteous. Couldn't have asked for better service, thank you.

Our experience of Cartwright Hands has been very positive. After our initial sale fell through, they were very understanding and supportive allowing us additional time to find another buyer. The Staff have always been extremely helpful. Nothing too much trouble. Their communication has been excellent.

Happy words from our customers

 

 

My property was on the market for almost a year with different estate agents. Ardalan from Cartwright Hands wrote to me saying he would be confident he would be confident in selling my property in 6 weeks! He came to see it and was confident that he could deliver what the other agents could not. He also felt that we did not need to reduce the asking price. To good to be true you might think! Within 2 days he managed to achieve the full asking price. The completion took place 3 weeks after the solicitors were instructed.
