House Sale

This sale could have been traumatic throughout, as we were right up to the wire with the looming Stamp Duty increase and my buyer's buyer was very "twitchy". I had every confidence in Charlesworth Nicholl from the moment I first contacted them to ask if they would act for me. They responded promptly, didn't bother me with unnecessary queries and just quietly got on with the job. I can't praise them highly enough. Oh, by the way, we made it.

A representative from Charlesworth Nicholl & Co responded to this review on 07 April, 2025:

Thank you so much for your fantastic feedback! We’re delighted to hear that we were able to help make the process as smooth as possible, especially with the added pressures of the Stamp Duty deadline. It’s great to know that you felt confident and supported throughout, and we’re thrilled everything came together in the end. Your praise means a lot to us.
