Superb experience using Prospect to let my property out! Kurt was excellent at the valuation and took fantastic photos of the property. Stefano and Angela were super responsive and able to assist with any queries in regards to offers and also any vetting & compliance needs. They agreed a let within 2 working days and also achieved my asking price. Faultless service and I’ll be using them in future for Sales.
by Lucy BurtonI recently rented through Prospect and my experience was excellent. From the very beginning, their team was professional, responsive, and genuinely helpful. They took the time to understand my requirements. The process was smooth and efficient, with clear communication at every step. Chira and the lettings team were fantastic. Highly recommend!
by Katie BProspect Estate Agents provided excellent service by setting a realistic sale price, offering flexible viewings, and maintaining a consistent flow of information. However, the standout reason I would choose Prospect again—and wholeheartedly recommend them—is Bernadette. She restored my faith during a challenging time when communication with my solicitors had broken down, leaving me with little transparency. Bernadette bridged the gap, identifying and resolving numerous blockers early, ensuring the process moved smoothly toward completion. Her quick, accurate communication, efficiency, and empathetic support were invaluable during this stressful experience. She truly helped me stay sane and made a difficult situation manageable.
