The Up Estates team have been fantastic throughout the sale of my property. They’ve made it as stress free and easy as possible despite their being a few bumps along the way. Really appreciated the speedy communication at every stage of the process. Charlotte, Jade and Emily have been helpful, proactive, friendly and efficient and I would highly recommend their service. Big thanks to everyone behind the scenes too.
