I just completed on a new family home via Larcomes, again having worked with them on a property some years ago. This time the transaction was quite drawn out owing to a long chain, with an obstructive individual in the middle. This could have become very stressful but I'm pleased to say we had Carla Lewis acting for us at the top of the chain where we were selling and buying. Quite simply Carla was excellent. Very responsive (putting up with all my emails), extremely diligent and quick. Carla is a credit to the profession and Larcomes. Would highly recommend. Thank you again.

We recently used Larcomes whilst purchasing our first house. Paul Lee, at the Portsmouth office, provided a professional, efficient and friendly service. He was particularly thorough and easy to contact if we had any questions. I would definitely recommend their services.
