Carnegie are great value and offer a great service. They managed to pack a weekend full of viewings for us when we put the house on the market and secured 7 offers from that one weekend. Just a flat fee, no percentage, sold our house and saved us '000s!! Highly recommended.

I won't use any other agent when finding tenants. Stuart and the team are professional and wise. Always responsive to questions and providing excellent advice when ensuring the most suitable tenant is found. You definitely feel like a valued customer when working with this family run business.

Our house was marketed and an offer was accepted within a week. They have great knowledge of the local area and are fast and efficient throughout the sale process. Very reasonable fees too!

Experience was awful, estate agent was rude, house viewing was a couple of minutes if that, absolutely disgusting tone and horrible choice of words over the phone. So disappointed, looks so bad on their reputation.

Had a property viewing booked for the 3rd October which was cancelled by the estate agents on the day with only 2 hours notice despite several confirmation texts - we had re-arranged work plans to attend and this was cancelled with very short notice. Another viewing was arranged for 2 days later, only to be rung on the day and say the property was no longer available. Poor communication - always very last minute. Will not use them in future.

We have known Carnegie for many years in both a business and social/charitable capacity. We have always found them very friendly and ease to work worth. It's always good to use local companies especially when they are family run and honest, reliable people. Stuart does a lot for charity and that shows the character of the man behind the Company.
