Exceptional service from a dedicated team

Spence Willard, Yarmouth has successfully sold my last 2 houses - both of which I bought via Spence Willard. Duncan Willard offers access to unsurpassed market intelligence and- ably assisted by Lesley Samson and the rest of the team - provides a seamless service from valuation and preparation of marketing materials to managing viewings and offers. Over the last few years, I have found every member of the team at the Yarmouth office of Spence Willard to be approachable, personable, highly professional, responsive and dedicated to delivering the best outcome for their clients. The service they offer is truly exceptional.

Our estate agent Jane Hadlow was great

Our estate agent Jane Hadlow was great. She gave us two very informative showings, helped me with questions I had about the development, my house insurance and the construction of interior walls. Unfortunately, she left Spence Willard right before I got my keys, and everything fell apart after her departure. I moved into an unfinished home that had paint all over the floor, and numerous snagging issues. I feel like things would have gone much more smoothly had Jane still been my point of contact. Very disappointing experience for a new build property.

Dear Michele,
Thank you taking the time to leave us a review.
We are very sorry to hear that upon completion you were not completely happy, as we pride ourselves on providing a seamless, quality experience throughout all aspects of a purchase; from initial contact to book a viewing all the way through to completion.
Of course had we been made aware of the issues, we would have been more than happy to liaise with the Developer to assist in resolving your concerns.
We have made colleagues aware and moving forward in light of your comments, we are going to look to implement further checks prior to completion.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, so we can make improvements for the future.
Best wishes,
Spence Willard
