Excellent and efficient service by all the team

A colleague recommended Jo Martin to me and what a great recommendation it was! I have bought and sold quite a few properties and have never had such an efficient, seamless and stress-free experience as with Jo, Mandy and the rest of the team.
Communication is excellent and timely, and Jo takes time to explain and discuss things ensuring you are fully in the picture. Nothing ever seems to be too much trouble despite how busy they are.
People used to talk about 'service with a smile' and this perfectly describes what you get with Jo and all who support her. Top marks!

House Sale in Reading

An excellent "house sale" experience which we appreciated. The process was handled without unnecessary delay and showed professionalism throughout.

The sale process started in December and was ready for Completion before the end of February. Time was lost, but only due to the buyer failing to instruct his solicitor (independently advised of this).There was also an issue over a small piece of land theoretically blocking access to a stand-alone garden. This needed investigation and agreement over and above the standard sale process.

I would definitely use this practice again if a requirement arose.

Hassle free experience

As a first time buyer it’s hard to gauge what this experience felt like compared to the norm, but was very satisfied with it all the same.

Excellent service from Jo Martin and her assistant Mandy Hinton at the Reading office on the sale of my elderly mother's house. Since neither party was in a chain, exchange and completion happened smoothly within just a couple of weeks. Communication was good and I would certainly recommend Jo and Mandy.

I have bought and sold a number of properties and always use Mandy and her team at Charles Coleman as my solicitors. Their efficiency and overall focus on delivering for clients is second to none and I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell property. A first class business.
