"Great to deal with, nice people and on the ball. We had an ex-rental property to sell, and had to decide whether to 'love it' or 'list it' in it's current condition. Katie & Alan were great and understood our situation, we decided to try the property on the market and discussed a fair price for the 'list it' option. All went well and the property sold quickly. Can't thank them enough for their advice and support. Would definitely recommend this company and would use them again."

![Douglas McQuat (March 2024) – “This was our first move in 34yrs so we were very nervous but everything went quickly and well leaving us to only worry about the actual physical move. Premier made the necessary processes easy and understandable. They also dealt with us as people not just a client, this made us feel so much better. It was great to know that we were in the hands of people who cared.”](https://premierpropertiesperth.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/S01-1-150x150.jpg)
"We put our property on the market with Premier just prior to lockdown but subsequently withdrew it. We were very happy with how Alan handled the situation at that time as well as the marketing. We originally went to them through the recommendation of a mortgage consultant.
We loved the Facebook countdown! The photography and virtual tour were first class. The photographer obviously took a great pride in her work and the results spoke for themselves.
You contacted people who had shown an interest in similar properties and we actually had 3 viewings booked before it was released. Bartek did wonderfully well in convincing the buyer what to offer.
The service was excellent in particular Bartek who showed potential buyers around and Alan who offered great advice on the deal.
This was our first move in 34yrs so we were very nervous but everything went quickly and well leaving us to only worry about the actual physical move. Overall, we felt very pleased and relieved.
Would certainly recommend. Premier made the necessary processes easy and understandable. They also dealt with us as people not just a client, this made us feel so much better.
It was great to know that we were in the hands of people who cared."
