5 Stars – Outstanding Service from Start to Finish
We recently bought a flat with the help of Shakir at Lyss and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very first phone call, he was friendly, professional and genuinely invested in helping us secure the property.
What really stood out was how supportive and proactive Shakir was during the conveyancing process, which had a few tricky moments. He was always on top of things—chasing up solicitors, keeping communication flowing between all parties and helping to resolve issues quickly and calmly. His experience and reassurance made a huge difference and helped keep everything moving when it could have easily stalled.
Thanks to Shakir’s hard work, we’re now happily settled into our new home. We’re so grateful for his support and would absolutely recommend him to anyone buying or selling property.... Read more

I cannot say enough good about Shakir and his team. Lyss Homes made what was a long journey and stressful experience as smooth as it could possibly be. Their ethos and dedication to what they do makes them second to none.
Prior to using Lyss Homes, I tried to sell my property with 2 of the well known giants, with no success. Shakir never stopped getting viewers through the door, negotiating on my behalf and working tirelessly to see results. Every time it looked like we were getting no where, he assured me things will pick up and work out in the end. And despite a long process, he was right.
If you want a phenomenal service worth the money and an agent that will go above and beyond, Shakir is the guy. Big up the guys at Lyss Homes and thank you for helping me sell my home.... Read more

Shakir from Lyss Homes is a very friendly and dedicated professional who made a purchase of our new home (shared ownership) a much easier process.
Buying any property is always stressful and demanding. It is very ideal to have a dedicated agent who stays on top of things and becomes a link between involved parties especially when communication fails. This is where Lyss Homes - Shakir show their professional and supportive approach.

Working with Lyss homes through Shakir really made a difference last year when I had to put my flat for rent with short notice. He not only found the revenue at top of my expectations but also helped with the management of the repairs, even taking over managing a bad situation with a third party for repairs. I think the difference is that he actually knows what he is doing and listens and he actually asks relevant questions too so he can give real advice.- met up with 4 other agencies and they all sent me these men straight out of uni in overpriced suits who were literally giving me the worst options and pretended like it was a the best deal- they were sales men and nothing else. Which makes sense, big names with franchises all over focus more on mass all size fits all packages and focus on their bottom line using agressive sales tactics. If I had not compared with others I would have lost a lot of my income while having to do a lot more work. Its been 6 months so far and I could not been more pleased with Lyss homes, could not recommend them more.... Read more

Shakir clearly understands the industry like no other- demonstrated a wealth of knowledge, clearly works tirelessly for his clients and goes above and beyond. Shakir listened to everything we wanted, he was attentive and extremely thorough- he did extensive research on our property even before viewing it which demonstrates Shakir’s quality of service at Lyss Homes.
The viewings were done in a professional manner with extensive research on the perspective renters - this gave us comfort in knowing that our property was in the safe hands!!
Shakir was extremely communicative and always available to answer any questions/concerns we had. He never said no to a single request and went the extra extra mile to make the process of renting our home stress free. The after care has also been exceptional!

He advised where needed, recommended professionals and managed everything flawlessly on our behalves, kept us constantly up to date and made our lives as easy as possible, as we ourselves were trying to move into a new home.
