John was fantastic to work with! He was a brilliant communicator, even calling us to sort last minute things whilst he was on holiday. He was very knowledgeable and anything he was unsure on, he came back to us with an answer extremely quickly. We found him down to earth, friendly and it was just a really positive experience. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anybody looking to buy or sell their home.
