Right from the start Austin was on the ball. I gave castles the request to sell our house as he delivered a valuation when he said. whereas his competition from other estate agents failed to deliver for almost a week. Following on he answered all my queries, Contact through other members of staff involved was excellent . Feedback regarding viewings was very good. overall very happy with the service given. One minor issue, both parties involved with sale, not fully kept up to speed with emails, despite request.
Nothing to complain about.

Gary Fear helped a lot when he rang me to ask me what property I was looking to view. I had a lot of things I wanted in my property search but nothing was to much for him and he was very friendly and helpful. I didn't need Gary's help for long due to finding a property elsewhere but I ... Read Full Review

It was very easy to communicate with them. They were always friendly. They were honest in valuing my old house. But what was special about these people was that they went the extra mile and told us everything there was to know. I would rate them 10/10. I would recommend Castles to anyone who wants ...
