Reliable and consistent!

Many thanks to Amanda and the team at EM&F, Ottery St Mary for their total professionalism, reliability and hard work! Trying to sell a business during a catastrophic pandemic is not for the faint-hearted so they definitely proved their worth. I am especially grateful to Amanda for her dedication, persistence and constant care. Our humorous chats were a real boost. Thank you. My exciting plans can finally come into fruition!

Great experience selling our PO

Had a great experience selling our post office with David at EMF . Honest , realistic valuation gave us lots of viewings and several offers. After accepting an offer EMF made sure the buyer got on with things in a timely manner .
Highly recommended if you’re serious about selling.

It was great working alongside you and all the other stakeholders involved to get the purchase of the freehold business over the line for you, despite a few challenges along the way. If you need any help in the future, please do not hesitate to contact me. All the best, David.

I purchased a holiday letting business through EM&F Group and Ann Bentley who runs the North East office. The transaction went very smoothly and Ann is extremely helpful, efficient and with excellent communication. She monitored the progress of the transaction throughout and ensured both sets of solicitors moved things along without delay. Highly recommended.

I have used this office on 2 occasions now & on both occasions first class service from Keith & Ann they are both 100% honest reliable and caring to the sellers but also to the buyers
First Keith comes gives you a honest price for your bussiness to sell it not just to have it in the office for months then Ann comes on board with very honest feed back of veiwings and offers
I'm the couple of months I was for sale I had 6 different people veiwing and in the end 3 different people putting offers in for my bussiness then An & keith came in again with there experience and years of nowing there job advising me and paths to take also Ann & Keith I like so much because they remind me of the days when we were hummarised not computerised but like i said if you want a honest price for your bussiness look no further choose Ann & Keith at em & f north west

Excellent service from EM&F Group

EM&F Group sold my Post Office for me when I was beginning to believe that it couldn't be sold.
The current team organised many viewers over a period of 18 months and were very diligent in chasing them up for offers afterwards. Customer service was spot on, I had regular contact from them by phone and e-mail, and questions were answered promptly and thoroughly. They felt more like friends than business acquaintances.
They obtained the best possible sale price during a period of great uncertainty for businesses. I have no hesitation in recommending their services.

Geoff,

Many thanks for taking the time to leave us a review.

I am so pleased that we were able to find you the right buyer during such uncertain times (Covid-19). It was an absolute pleasure to work with you and help you to achieve your desired outcome. It's really heartwarming to know that our clients feel more like friends than business acquaintances - it is a reciprocal feeling, I might add.

Please do keep in touch, you have my number!

Kind regards,
David Wilson

A very professional service

A very professional service, which resulted in the successful sale of our business. We always felt we had the guidance and expertise we needed to help us through the process and couldn't fault the service. Thoroughly recommended

It was great working with Nigel and Sarah on the sale of their Village Store and Post Office. We had a great working relationship throughout and we are very pleased to have found them a buyer that will serve the local community the way in which they both did.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a wonderful review. I wish you all the best in your future endeavours.

Kind Regards,
David

Thank you

I was initially signed up with someone else but they retired so David took over from them. He was very helpful in explaining things to me when I didn't know what it meant. I have never met him due to Covid but he is a nice and friendly and helpful man. In the end I ended up selling to a developer. He guided me through every step of the process. Thank you. I personally think the fees are a little high though.

Emma, it was great to work with you on the sale of your business, commercial and residential property, and a shame (due to covid) that we didn't get a chance to meet in person. I wish you and your family all the best with your future endeavours. Kind regards, David
