I recently used Pocock and Shaw estate agents for the sale of my house and would highly recommend them! It was a complex chain and the staff went above and beyond to keep things moving. Special thanks to Kevin, Jan & Sandra who provided a fantastic service throughout. They responded quickly to any queries/issues/requests and were always friendly, professional, and effective. Thank you!

Sandra and all others at Pocock who helped in the sale of my mother's bungalow were always prompt in their actions and calls and patient and understanding when it was most needed.

Cannot sing their praises enough. From start to finish they took a planned and methodical approach to the whole process rather than just snapping some pictures and bunging it on rightmove and that be it. Chris always kept us in the loop and was happy enough to pick up the phone rather than just hide behind sending emails whether it was good news or bad. If we ever decide to move again I'd happily go with them (the feeling may not be mutual)

An excellent experience from start to finish completing on both a sale and a purchase with Pocock & Shaw. Chris, Elen, Magnus & the team were all involved throughout the entire process and made what can be a stressful process as easy as it could be. Communication and updates were frequent which kept us informed about the progress of both transactions. Would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks again!

I engaged Pocock & Shaw once for my elderly mother and again as her executor. I found them excellent. They gave good pricing advice, advertised the property attractively, did proper due diligence on prospective buyers, showed them round & brought the transaction along to completion very effectively. They returned calls promptly and were pleasant to deal with. I would certainly use them again.

I recently purchased a house through Pocock and Shaw, and I couldn't be happier with the service, especially from Elen. When issues cropped up, she truly went above and beyond, working incredibly hard to resolve them and ensure my purchase went through smoothly. Her dedication made a potentially stressful process feel seamless. Highly recommend!

I had a very positive experience with Pocock + Shaw, particularly working with Judy and the lettings team. Throughout the tenancy and especially during the end-of-tenancy process, their communication was clear, professional, and timely.

The deposit process was handled fairly and transparently, and I was pleased to receive the full deposit back without unnecessary delays or disputes. Any maintenance issues raised during the tenancy were dealt with efficiently, with quick responses and reasonable turnaround times, which made living in the property much less stressful.

I would be happy to recommend Pocock + Shaw to other tenants looking for a responsive and professional property management team
