Wow what a joined up, amazing team Whites estage agents in Salisbury are. Initially I was seeking a figure on the family home for probate. I was given realistic information, advice and answers to any concerns I had from Anthony. The information I needed arrived the next day and there were no follow up sales pitches to take on the sale of my property although they were quite willing to, as I was told that was entirely up to me.
That's what I liked because Anthony (and clearly the supporting team) were sensitive to the fact that I had just lost my father and this was the family home going on the market. I know I could not have asked for a better service and indeed support from an Estate Agency. The no frills, no build up of expectation realistic approach, the advice and help and regular contact and updates made me feel very well looked after and I had all the worry taken off my shoulders. The knowledge and expertise is apparent and I would highly recommend Whites. If I was looking to buy in the region, this is the first team I would go to.

My partner and I where caught in a bit of a sticky situation when our previous rental terminated our contract early due to a change in circumstances so we needed a fast move. We found our ideal property in Dalisbury and from start to finish we were treated so well. Our agent Zoe, has been nothing but a hero in helping us finding a house, making our move easy and welcoming and being super helpful now we are sadly leaving our property. In the local area you will find a fair few estate agents so competition is high but take my word for it, you won't find any better than Whites. Thanks team for all you help and for our lovely house.

After a long search for our new house my wife and I finally found it! We were twice blessed since the estate agent handling the sale was Whites. The support staff and the sales team are great and couldn't have been more helpful. Head of Sales, Tony Williams handled the transaction. Fortunately for us, Tony has vast local knowledge and years of experience (very likeable chap too)! We are very happy to add our recommendation here. Easy 5 stars!

Can't thank Matthew and the team enough for their help with marketing my father's home. Professional, efficient and knowledgeable. The team made the process less traumatic for us as a family. We had an offer within five days which was above the guide price, and on Matthew's advice and with his experience we accepted this and completion occurred 11 weeks later. Totally recommend White's.

Myself and my partner purchased our first property through Whites. They were nothing but professional, friendly and supportive. Even though they were acting on behalf of the seller they gave us great advice and helped us through changing conveyancers as our original one wasn't that helpful. Highly recommend and if/when we sell this property we'll be looking to use Whites. Matthew and his team were brilliant!
