Thank you, Jeremy. Liz is a great source of local knowledge. Glad you are happy. Ocd GazTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After inviting numerous local Estate Agents to view and value my property for sale .... Paul and the team at Scoffield Stone were the standout choice. They truly know the market and, unlike the other Agents, took everything into consideration about my property before valueing. The other Agents appeared to be only interested in the square footage .... whereas Paul was also interested in the curb appeal, plot, location, position and potential of my property. His valuation prooved to be spot on as viewings and offers came in at a nice steady pace. The sale progression was also smoothly administered by the friendly Scoffield Stone team. Offer to completion took just over 3 months, which is well below the average of 5 months. I would highly recommend Paul and the team at Scoffield Stone.

Thank you Andrew, much appreciated. Carol SimpsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We would highly recommend Scoffield Stone Estate Agents, Hilton, Derbyshire if you are thinking of selling your home. We recently, marketed and SSTC our home with them and received at all times an excellent service from start to finish. The valuation from Paul was accurate. He carefully considered our own thoughts and ideas on value and worked with us, to agree how we would market the property initially. This approach, combined with his own extensive agency expertise and experience, ensured a sale. His enthusiastic and professional approach to his business and the industry is commendable. This was also emanated, by his team Claire and Alexandra, who worked diligently, to arrange appointments, negotiate offers and progress the sale for us. They too were excellent and highly skilled in their work. They responded well to any concerns we had and helped us through the complexities of our conveyance. Their office phones lines and emails were always answered promptly and courteously, and we always felt welcomed in the office, if we needed to discuss anything we wanted clarification on. We would not hesitate to use again in the future and we wish Scoffield Stone our best wishes for the future.

Lovely words, Carol. Thank you so much for the business, we certainly do hope to cross paths again. Romi WhitehouseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the best experience with Liz as our estate agent! She was not only super helpful and friendly, but she treated us like real people, not just another potential tenant. Liz went the extra mile to find us the perfect place. Working with her was a breath of fresh air compared to other agents. She made the whole process so positive and enjoyable. Liz's energy and attitude were contagious, and she truly cared about getting us the right place. Thanks, Liz, for making our house hunt a stress-free experience!

Really kind words, Romi. We shall be sure to pass your feedback on to Liz 👍🏻
