We could not be happier with the service we received from Scott and the team at the Ludlow office. We would have no hesitation in using Balfours again and would highly, highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to sell their house in the local area.

Many people think estate agents get paid for doing nothing, but that was certainly not the case here and we are forever grateful for all their hard work.

Many thanks to Scott and the team at Balfours Ludlow brach for doing such a great job with both the sale and purchase recently. Their hard work and professionalism made the whole process a lot easier than it might have been. Highly recommended if your looking to buy or sell in the area.
