We are really happy with the professional service from Josh @Taylormade in helping us find our new home. He acted professional/creatively throughout the whole process, I could say that I have no hesitation to recommend them.

Josh and Tailor Made offered an expert and professional service in helping us find and buy our property, they understood our needs, were able to talk to us about a number of on and off market properties in our target area and quickly identified "the one". I felt throughout the process they acted calmly and professionally, whilst acting for the seller I felt that as the buyer I could trust them and their advice.

Josh at Tailor Made recently helped us purchase a property and was extremely helpful and communicative from start to finish. I've never experienced an estate agent go the extra mile in the way that Josh did and I'm very grateful indeed that this was a smooth and fast transaction as a result. Josh represents what all estate agents should be (but aren't). I highly recommend Josh and Tailor Made to anyone buying or selling in the area.

We have just completed the sale of our property on Sandbanks through Tailor Made with Josh Hamilton Fletcher our key point of contact. Firstly, Tailor Made are THE estate to use when either selling or buying as their knowledge of both the area and seemingly every property on Sandbanks is second to none. Secondly, you will go a long way to find a more experienced, knowledgable, helpful and friendly estate agent than Josh.
With a selling frenzy going on throughout the intervening lock-down periods Josh always managed to keep us well informed of progress and dealt professionally at all times with both ourselves and our buyers. My experience says not all estate agents are the same - very few equal Josh and the Tailor Made team.

We've recently completed on a purchase made through Josh at Tailor Made. The whole thing went through very smoothly and on schedule. Josh was thoroughly responsive, friendly and professional throughout. Any queries were dealt with really promptly, and I felt that Josh went above and beyond in terms of giving us helpful bits of information, and finding things out for us. Nothing was ever a problem. Many thanks for everything!

Taylor Made were excellent from start to finish & we were really impressed with how Edward & Josh dealt with us throughout the purchase. I viewed the property with Josh who took me through all aspects of the property in great detail & Edward than took on the purchase, dealing with the sale & went the extra mile a number times to make everything happen. Keep up the good work & thank you for everything.

We recently bought through Tailor Made and our point of contact was Josh Hamilton-Fletcher. He was hands down the best estate agent I have ever dealt with. His professionalism, his attention to detail and courteous manner were outstanding. We cannot recommend him enough. As the purchasers, Josh was not 'our' agent but at no stage did he make us feel that we were not also his client. His goal is to achieve a successful sale at the best price for his client but he always treated us with the utmost professionalism and care throughout. He is exceptionally bright, dedicated and charismatic. If and when we choose to sell our property - we would be using him.

We have dealt with several estate agents and would rate Josh Hamilton-Fletcher the best we have worked with. We have bought and sold through him and found him to be extremely hardworking, very knowledgable and particularly focussed. For someone so busy it was remarkable how available he made himself so that we always felt valued as a customer. We could not recommend him more highly

I recently purchased my first home through tailor made. I dealt with Josh Hamilton-Fletcher and nothing was too much trouble for him through out the whole process. The service I received here was amazing and he really went the extra mile for me. It was a stressful process due to the solicitors I had chosen but Josh went above and beyond when it came to helping me with anything. Really professional and helpful.

We recently purchased an apartment in Sandbanks through Tailor Made and were extremely impressed with the high standard of service and professionalism we received throughout the entire process especially from the Senior Property Consultant Josh Hamilton-Fletcher. Having bought and sold several properties over the years we can honestly say that the experience we enjoyed with Josh was of the very highest level from start to finish.
He was always available even outside office hours to assist us whenever we needed advice and we would certainly have no hesitation to recommend both Tailor Made and Josh to anyone looking to purchase a property in the area. Craig & Kim Rennie
