I lived far away and they allowed me to take on my home via video viewing. Which was great. All my paperwork and checks were done smoothly and they were very helpful. Still rent from these guys and never have any issues.

Collyers were fantastic from start to finish when selling my house, lots of viewings from day one and ended up agreeing a deal with a buyer at a great price! Everyone was very efficient and also gave me constructive feedback from any viewings. A special mention for Kane who was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond, taking calls, emails etc.even on his days off!

Collyers are the best estate agents, we've been renting through them for couple of years and had no problems at all. We had perfect service all the time and most of the times I've dealt with Kane. He is very helpful, polite and professional. Once again thanks Collyers for everything and it was pleasure to deal with you guys! Top class!

The difference in using an agent such as Collyers is in the quality of the people you deal with and how they make what seems difficult, to Landlords, easy and never a problem if you have a property and are looking for a local agent that knows the area and understands your needs, then get in touch.

Been having issues for over 2 years with my property and Collyers have been doing as much as possible to avoid doing any work with either not responding by returning a call and when i finally spoke too someone last I was told they won't do any work because they have decided to stop maintenance on buildings. That conversation was in January with no new information about are new maintenance provider. Appauling service will advise anyone to go else where, especially for how expensive there service is, you would expect 1st class service. still on going for over 2 years.

Superb service. Friendly, approachable, and significantly more on the ball than the other estate agents I approached. James at Collyers provided excellent advice, a spot-on appraisal, and went above and beyond in his continued service. Heed his words if you use them; thanks to James and my willingness to actually do what he suggested, I sold my property very quickly, and at a better price than that quoted by other estate agents. Add in the fact that Collyers also charged less for their services, and I cannot sing their praises highly enough.
