Would definitely recommend. Everything was taken care of by all the staff and explained to me as the sale progressed. Very good experience."

"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."
"Premier properties dealt with selling my flat. They were excellent through the whole process. Can't thank them enough."
"From firstly meeting Katie at my property to the conclusion of the sale I cannot fault the Premier Properties Team. Many thanks for all your help. I would highly recommend."
"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."

Customer service was fantastic from Katie's first visit to being kept updated by Eleze and Paula. Fully trusted them and was kept well informed.
