Report
Lousy ad-hoc service lacking both the competence and courtesy you would expect. I turned up to view a property at 7pm and there was no one there. The next morning I was told it is because it had already gone under offer. There was no apology for not letting me know sooner and no reply when I pressed further.

Report
Campbell Smith have been fantastic from the beginning to end! I sold my property, and purchased another during some difficult times of the lockdown but Ken was truly brilliant - kept me informed at all times with some great communications and sound advice. I'm very grateful to this fantastic team. I would have no hesitation in recommending Gary, Lisa and Ken to anyone.
