In our latest transaction together, a town house in Bath, Richard has been his normal reliable and efficient self and a delight to deal with. There is no question that he is very thorough in seeking the right property for his clients, but once found and agreed, is also a great asset in seeing the purchase through to its conclusion.

Richard also has a great relationship with all the local agents so he is extremely well placed to unearth any potential property that might be coming to the market. I would have no hesitation in recommending his services.”
