We recently sold our house with Pittaway Thompson. The service and care was outstanding from start to finish. They were able to demonstrate our house to its fullest potential in ways which we had not considered ourselves. The easy and open communication with the PT team removed the stress from the sale and we managed to complete the sale with minimal stress. I would highly recommend them to other potential sellers. Thanks again to Alex and Olivia

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Pittaway Thompson, having sold my property with them this year. The styling and marketing were curated to show the property's best features and buyer was secured very quickly. Olivia and Alex could not have been more supportive or responsive during the whole process.

I bought a house through them last month. They were really friendly and personable throughout, answered any and all questions I had as we went through. It was my first time selling and buying at the same time so I really appreciated their support

I would highly recommend Pittawa Thompson, having worked with them for our sale in autumn '21. Their use of stylish marketing materials and carefully curated photography meant that we were able to attract lovely buyers very quickly. This, coupled with a contemporary approach to comms, meant that we had a quick and efficient sale that was straightforward and friction free. Recommend.

Pittaway Thompson have truly been on our side from the start through to the signing of the contracts. When I saw their advertisement, I wanted to give them the opportunity to sell our house because they were a local business, young and starting up. We have not been disappointed. Their service has been outstanding and feel no hesitation in recommending them to prospective buyers/vendors. They sold our house in 9 days and achieved this through beautifully presented styling and marketing of our house.
Who can forget Mart's iconic videos and photos- his attention to detail is second to none. We almost wanted to buy our own home all over again when we saw the finished product. Thank you Olivia and Lauren for the painstaking and careful styling of our home. What we were particularly impressed with was that they always had our well-being and interests at heart through their excellent communication and advice. Alex and Olivia always got back to us within 15 minutes of us leaving a message and keeping us continually informed of every client's feedback post-viewing. They are at the top of their game, and cannot be faulted for every aspect of their service.

We could not fault Alex and Olivias service whilst going through a rather stressful buying process. Although the sale did not transpire (through no ones fault) Olivias communications was 10/10 and responded to my emails very quickly. They were very accommodating when wanting to have 2nd and 3rd viewings at the property, organised outside contractors and generally made the process less stressful. I would highly recommend Pittaway Thompson!

I received a superb management service from Alex whilst the property was rented and when it came to the eventual sale Olivia dealt with this so efficiently and professionally that I would not hesitate to recommend them for all aspects of property management and sale.

It was remarkably refreshing to deal with a sincerly authentic Estate Agency. You knew my name and listened acutely to my needs. Arriving at my home you were well briefed having researched the market place so you knew trends based on facts. The team around you were of the same ethos respecting my desire for discrete marketing but utilising first class media. Your literature regarding my home was outstanding and you kept me informed throughout - you chased the others in the chain to ensure dates were met in a timely way. The purchasers were delighted with your clarity, market appraisal and collaborative approach. Highly reccomended. Thank you.

(rented a place though AP in Kenilworth) I would highly recommend this agency to anyone looking to rent a place. They have been very professional with all the services offered and were really kind/helpful to many untimely requests. I would like to personally Thank Mr. Alex for always being available at a short notice. The whole process, from booking the viewing for the home and vacating the property, was completely hassle free. All the very best Alex, keep up the good work. rgrds, Mustaq

I have rented quite a few properties over the past decade and a half, and I can honestly say that I have found AP Residential Lettings to be by far the most pleasant and professional real estate company I have ever encountered. All the staff I have dealt with have been efficient, polite and helpful. In my opinion, they have provided exceptional service, which really does set them apart from the rest. I would definitely recommend AP Residential Lettings.

Tenants beware! Absolutely appalling level of service and inability to communicate properly. I could write an essay about the issues we have had since renting a house through this estate agents. Never apologise or admit any responsibility for their long list of failures. I would not recommend this estate agents on any level.
