As a vendor having just successfully sold a property with Hamptons, I cannot recommend the Newbury office highly enough. Particular thanks to Tom, Andy and the team who provided a first class service from start to finish. The sale process was not without its challenges, but their friendly, understanding and highly professional approach was exceptional and it was a pleasure working with them. I have no hesitation in recommending Hamptons Newbury to any vendor.
