This property was sold subject to contract within two days of going on the market. Communication was first class - keeping us well informed and updated with each development in the selling process. The brochure was informative and the agent was well prepared for our meeting with examples of similar properties currently for sale within the local area. We discussed and agreed a sensible sale price for the property following the visit and the process was simple and efficient. The staff were courteous and well informed. Additionally, there were options to arrange visits in my absence, key collection, house clearance as required and the appointment of a solicitor if requested. Ultimately, this agent sold the property for a fair price within two days - what more could I ask for!... Read more

We chose Dowen in April 2023 after they gave a middle valuation compared with two other agents. MD John Nicholson did the valuation. He was sincere, enthusiastic and realistic. He gave us good advice on photography and marketing of (mum's) house. Service was quick: the house was on the market within a very few days and we accepted an offer within two weeks. Special thanks to Georgina in the Sunderland office. She kept us informed about how the sale was progressing and she was our point of contact with the vendors' solicitor. She also gave us advice on necessary actions after the survey was done. She was easy to contact (phone or email) and very happy to help. Thank you !!... Read more
