Andy (Andreas Panteli) from Spencer James Residential helped us find the perfect apartment to rent. He carefully listened to all our requirements and was very helpful in guiding us through the entire process, and made everything super smooth and efficient.

Exceptional level of understanding our needs - Andy (the agent dealing our let) was super professional throughout the process. Very easy to contact and showed a great amount of care throughout - and continues to do so. All our demands have been met and dealt with in great timing and with quality which is hard to find. I'd say I'm very happy with the personalised service and ongoing support.
