The sale of Whirlow House was the sale of my family home of 48 years after the death of my second parent. We’d moved in, from another house in Kirby Muxloe, when I was 7 years old. Although I had moved out many years previously, the processing and clearing out of the house was a hugely emotional- not to mention physical- ordeal. I really needed an estate agent who ‘got it’ and got what it meant to me. Alex Broadley, who I did not previously know but I had seen flyers/cards for, was one of several estate agents I considered for the selling of Whirlow. It had to be Alex- he presented well and additionally, being Kirby Muxloe born and bred himself, he had unbeatable interest in the history and selling of the houses in this village especially, and crucially, he ‘got’ me. And Whirlow. And he had an accurate eye for potential buyer interest. He was also very astute and considered in dealing with my many queries.

Delighted with the whole experience of using Newman's Property Experts.
I initially approached NINE Estate Agents, in a process of due diligence. Obviously right shied away from being scrutinised, as not one Estate Agent, other than Newman's took the trouble to reply to my list of questions, even though, some said they needed more time, but after being given an extra week, still didn't reply. However, Newman's responded the very same day, with comprehensive answers to all my questions!
I have agreed, and will pay Newman's MORE than the advertised rates posted by other agents, and don't resent a penny of it.
Newman PEs have worked closely with me throughout the process, and Simon Cowie has provided an extraordinary level of professionalism, even whilst abroad, on holiday.
I recommend to any seller, do NOT look at the fees, look at the service! Through acting on Simon's advice, we presented our home at Show Home condition, which helped us, with Simon's advice to potential buyers, to achieve a final selling price £50K over the price advertised on the Open Day.
A neighbour used a competitor, and sold their house for about £25K below the going rate for similar properties! Theresa a lesson hidden in there somewhere!... Read more
