Made my house sale very easy, 100% use Leightons in the future.
Me and my partner bought our first house through Leightons and Emma especially was amazing throughout the whole process, she was very professional and so lovely. Emma was always on hand to answer any question we had as being first time buyers we were new to the whole process, she kept in contact regularly throughout with updates and query’s and just made use feel at ease the whole time we can’t thank her enough for all the advice and support given to us.
If you’re looking to buy or even sell then I would really recommend leightons nothing is ever too much trouble for them, they really have been amazing!🤩
They went out of their way to sort out a whole day worth of viewings at short notice to a restrictive criteria, showing us houses we wouldn't have previously considered (including the one we ultimately bought) - special thanks to Emma for that.
Then throughout the whole process Helen has constantly kept us up to date with the progress of the sale/purchase not just for this property but the whole chain including our for own buyers. Not to mention always being on hand for any random questions I had throughout. Keeping the process completely stress free!
Massive credit to their industry and its almost a shame we are in our forever home now, because I would 100% look to them for any sale or purchase we'd do in the future.
Right from the word ‘go’, Michel outshine all the other estate agents who came to value my house, showing real interest and commitment to the marketing of my property. He listened carefully to all the sales points he could use, and this came back to me via the viewers.
If I sell in the future, I would not hesitate to use Leighton’s. They would be my first choice every time and I cannot recommend them highly enough. They were always available to assuage any concerns I had. In a climate where house selling has been extremely hard, a complete triumph!!!! (Sold for asking price).
AND, Leightons recommended someone for house clearance who could not have been more accommodating and personal. Thanks again Karl.
From the first viewing right up until getting the keys they were very informative! Special thanks to Helen as she was on the ball giving us information each week and to help push the sale going through so we got the house before the baby arrived!
Helen kept me updated , nothing was too much trouble . I never felt as though I was bothering her when asking questions. I’m so impressed with the outstanding customer service that I will definitely be using them again and recommending them to everyone.
Thank you so much to all at Leightons
Third transaction now.
Not letting me add a new review so adding to an existing one.
The team from initial valuation to marketing and all importantly managing chain situations and providing updates will not be beaten….
Recommend all day long….a local treasure really.
Buyer and seller experience here
More power to you Michael & Helen…
All going through, contracts signed when we lost our buyer.
With the amazing kindness, going above the already high customer service. Helen made it possible with regular contacts with the chain, solicitors, estate agents to allow us 2 weeks to resell, which we did in order to keep the chain. Helen continued with all contacts and updates, offering very welcome advice, right to the end.
If it wasn't for Helen with all her unbelievable help we would have lost our forever home.
Leightons also recommended our mortgage broker and solicitors who also did a fantastic job.
I cannot give enough praise and thanks to Leightons Estate agents
I highly recommend Leightons to everyone I speak to.
Thank you to all the team at Leightons, Michael, Helen, Laura and Emma.
They were very transparent re value and fees for our sale and helped massively with negotiations on both sides.
We chose to swap the property we were buying half way through the process and the team took that in their stride and just did what was best for us always.
We're so happy and so thankful that the process was as smooth as it was. We would use leightons again for sure if we ever chose to move again.
Thank you
I would like to thank you Leighton team for your help and support. Special thanks to Helen ☺️
would highly recommend Leightons to anyone who is thinking of buying or selling. Thankyou to all of you Dawn
During our process of selling our property and looking for a new one, we experienced the good, the bad and the ugly and Leightons were by far the best I’ve come across.
Keep up the great work!
The professional, friendly and supportive team are literally on hand at every stage of conveyancing.
The process of selling and buying was made so easy through the virtual viewing aswell as being able to view at your convenience.
The WhatsApp group is a game changer ????- fantastic concept and the team on hand literally straight away!
This has been THE LEAST stressful move ever- these guys rock ✨️????????✅️
Throughout my interactions with them, their team demonstrated exceptional professionalism, understanding, and cooperation. They listened attentively to my requirements and went above and beyond to accommodate my needs. Their in-depth knowledge of the local housing market and the properties they represented was truly commendable. One aspect that particularly stood out to me was their willingness to accommodate Sharia-compliant banks. This level of inclusivity and respect for diverse financial requirements showcases their commitment to meeting the needs of a wide range of clients.
Although my personal preferences ultimately led me to pursue other options, I wholeheartedly recommend Leighton Estate Agents to anyone in search of a reputable and reliable agency. Their dedication to providing exceptional service, combined with their outstanding selection of properties, makes them a leading choice in the local market around. Should I reconsider my housing options in the future, they will undoubtedly be my first choice.
We can definitely recommend Leightons if you are looking for your next home.
Would highly recommend Leightons to the world ???? thank you to the Leightons team. X
If we ever come to sell again in the future, Leightons would definitely be our number one choice.
Leightons are easy to contact, friendly and always got back to us swiftly. The sale completed yesterday and we're more than happy with the service Michael, and the other staff at Leightons, provided.
Genuinely lovely company to deal with so unlike others I have used locally.
They truly deserve success in a competitive market .
Try them you won’t be disappointed .
Thanks to them all once more
Everything was spot on, from chasing up updates from solicitors/mortgage brokers to the extra effort shown in getting the house purchase completed.
100% recommended!
I would definitely recommend Joanne.
And a lovely touch with the moving in bottle, thank you 😊 from the Westons
Amazing follow up process. Our sale turned out to be long and protracted and nothing was too much trouble for Leightons. They are proactive keep you well informed of what's going on with your sale and the chain. I honestly don't think we would have ended up moving home without them and their persistence. I would highly recommend them their service is second to non.
