Sarah, Hayley and Lee have been very helpful and responsive during my search in finding one bedroom flat. They were also able to sort out my moving in date a day earlier than it was planned, which was really great as I had more time to move out my stuff from the previous tenancy. Overall, they are very helpful and great at providing the services. Thank you! Thank you to Jason too for finding the time for allowing me to view the property.

The ladies at PRIORY ESTATES are friendly & professional. Extremely efficient, and the perfect liaison between landlord and tenant. Nothing is too much of a challenge and when 'works' are needed, this is arranged in a hasty way. Would highly recommend Priory as letting agents.

I had the displeasure of dealing with this 'firm' a while ago. Rude staff who were useless at coming back to me and were never able to deal with my questions. I would stay away!

Chloe, Sarah and Hayley have been so helpful when helping me and my partner find our first rented property. Highly recommend priory estate to use, no question is never a problem. For first time rent tenants this has allowed for us to feel comfortable to ask questions that we are both unsure of. Good and quick communication between ourselves and them, meaning the process of the move being smooth and quick as possible.

Priory Estates have been wonderful to deal with. Chloe and Sarah have both helped me move in to a property urgently and have done so much to help me get it pushed through as soon as possible. I couldn't recommend them enough. They have made the whole process very easy and professional and have put up with constant questions from me which has never been too much trouble. Thank you so much!

Avoid them like the plague. Renters, buyers and landlords. Nothing will get resolved with this company. Hand it done first hand and seen it many of times.
