I couldnt have asked for better service. From the initial valuation all the way through to the completion of the sale, the team at Grants provided regular updates along with knowledgable input, advice and assistance. I highly recommend them to anyone wanting the personalised service that, I believe, only an independent estate agent can provide.

All Estate Agents are not equal! I could not recommend Grants more highly. Knowledge of the housing market is first-class. Grants actively and consistently promoted our property and recommend properties to view. They sought and provided feedback from viewers and sent regular updates. Grants did not simply advertise on sales websites and forget it; they were an active partner and got the job done.

I'd like to thank the team at Grant for managing the sale of our house recently. Photos, video and presentation was were all excellent. We had next day feedback on all our viewings and regular updates thereafter until we found the right buyer. Circumstances outside of our control made the chain process quite challenging but the team at Grant were superb. Daily contact and balanced advice right through to completion. Would I use them again - 100%.

We have bought our first house this year and went to Mark for help with understanding the whole process (we knew very little.) He was absolutely fantastic, explained all the options, answered all our questions and most importantly helped us find the right mortgage and the right insurance for us. You could probably find all this info yourself online, but we found Mark to be very helpful, reassuring and having someone on your side going through this nerve-wrecking time is worth a lot in itself!
It's about all the insights you would not necessarily get otherwise and he has helped speeding things up and has always just been a phone call away, he was very quick to respond and we also liked the file upload system Grant Estate Agents are using to upload all important documents. We would definitely recommend speaking to Mark for anyone looking to buy their first home and we will be reaching out again when it comes to remortgaging.

I sold my 2 house through Grants recently, and their service and professionalism was as excellent as 1st time around. Cannot recommend them highly enough, they made what can be a very stressful time seamless, and kept me fully informed at every step! Thank you so much again.

I could recommend this business higher than 5 stars if possible. From the initial valuation, highly professional photographs and property description through the whole sales process, Grant estate agents kept me informed by text, emails and telephone calls. Friendly and professional service from all involved on the grant estate agent team and to top it all of.sale agreed in about a week. Fantastic service from a local business.

From our first contact with Grant estate agents we know our experience with them would be positive. Grant came to value our property within 48hours and was so friendly. He explained the costs we would incur upfront and there were no hidden fees or charges as we went along. He was honest and realistic with valuing our property and advised us how we could get the best price by making minor changes which was very much appreciated by us!
The online system for viewings was fab as we could see well in advance when we would be out of the property. Within one week of being for sale we had moved to sale agreed. Kerrie and Vicki in the office were absolutely amazing. Any questions we had, they answered so quickly and were a major help when we had problems with our onward purchase. I can honestly say I would recommend Grant estate agents to anyone looking to seel a property. I cannot fault them at all.

The staff in Grant Estate Agents were fantastic from beginning to end of house sale, especially having to deal with the Covid restrictions at the same time.

Recently my wife and I decided to down size from our home of 27years. When the decision was made to sell we explored many different agents and read many different reviews. The one agent who stood out from the rest was John Grant. We never at any point regret that decision and we are now well settled in our new for ever home. Thank you all at Grants estate agents for your help and support and advise. Terry and Nancy
