Ben Perkins sold our house in January 2023. Ben provided excellent service and was extremely pro-active throughout the sale with negotiations, arrangements and liaising between us and our buyers. He continued with his support until completion. No matter what time of day or which day of the week we could always contact Ben and would not hesitate in recommending him to sell your home.

He provided regular updates and was a very convivial chap to get along with.
Fine and Country have higher fees than your high-street estate agent but the difference in service was significant and worth it. If anyone were to ask if we would recommend Ben for their house sale, we have no hesitation in saying Yes.
Thank you Ben and good luck with your future successes.

Ben was thorough, professional and available 24/7.
He was just as keen on the last viewing as he was on the first, he never looses his enthusiasm
Trust his judgment and advice, especially “declutter”.

If you are thinking of selling your house or buying one you will probably already have discovered that estate agents are two-a-penny and many of them not worth much more than that!
To sell a house which you have converted into a cherished and loved home requires a special kind of sales agent who respects the hard work you've put into your home and is able to pass that on to a prospective buyer.
Alex Strafford of Fine & Country is exactly that kind of person and she has perfected her technique to the point of being a master of her art. Apart from also being a very likeable person she has a great pair of listening ears that enable her to tailor your selling or buying requirements to the greatest effect possible ensuring fast and painless arrival at that important point “exchange of contracts”. Her time keeping can't be beaten (but she did once take a whole 3 minutes to get back to me with an answer to a query, however it was on a Sunday evening)!
Take a look at her portfolio and you will immediately see what I mean.
Alex, my family and I applaud you, your skill and dedication to your profession and our only regret is that we have now found our forever home so will not need your services again.

Right from our initial meeting Matthew was helpful, communicative, honest and insightful about the housing market. He worked extremely hard throughout the entire process and kept us informed at all times. Nothing ever seemed too much trouble for Matthew and he was happy to discuss, and review, the process as often as we needed to talk. He also gave thoughtful recommendations about how we should best present our home. Thank you Matthew - to you and your fantastic team!
