I very much appreciated the weekly update calls that I received from a member of the team. I wasn't having to chase; they called me with updates.
As we approached the exchange of contracts, Cherise always made herself available to speak to. One time I needed to speak her right at the start of the day, as I needed prompt answers. The evening before Cherise answered my email and we arranged to speak at 8:30am.
Emails were answered promptly. Many regular items were handled by a team member, as it wasn't necessary to contact Cherise directly for many day-to-day items.
Thank you to Cherise and Nantes for taking care of everything. Top job.
I particularly appreciated the ease of contact. I was always put through immediately. Regular updates were provided to me.
The paperwork was efficient and timely.
