What our clients have to say:
Vendors at Greenridge, The Glasshouse and 5 Crabshell Quay "Blair has acted for us three times between 2019 and 2022, and we have recommended him to three other people who he subsequently sold their properties for. What sets him apart from other agents is his unique ability to understand his clients, to thoroughly know the local market he is selling in, and his wonderful personality to engage with potential buyers and actually work with their needs. His advice is always invaluable and he is just a pleasure to work with."
Vendor, Chestnut Barn, TQ7, £1,800,000 "It was a real pleasure to work with Blair from the outset. His knowledge and experience, combined with his professional approach, made this otherwise stressful event a smooth and successful process. I would highly recommend Blair & Strutt & Parker to anyone looking for a top-notch service!"
