Excellent and personable service.
I was kept fully informed through the sale without having to chase hellmores which is the correct way around for customer service.

Fees were very fair - having experienced both an online only agent and Helmores the difference in effort, customer service, experience and professionalism is very noticeable and Helmores was more than worth the fee.
