Report
The whole process of buying our first home with Aimee at Fodens was amazing! From offer to completion within 9 weeks (2 weeks added due to sellers solicitor). Aimee constantly kept us updated, and was an absolute pleasure. I can't recommend Fodens highly enough, I have not been stressed in the slightest, the price was very reasonable and I felt 100% confident in this company and their abilities throughout! Thank you so much for everything.

Rose Roe and Bobbie-Jean Grimstone did the work for us to buy our first house. They were fantastic and really looked after us. They managed to get the house purchase done in around 8 weeks which considering it went across the stamp duty change was really impressive. They were always contactable and gave us regular updates. They made what could have been an extremely stressful process super easy and they were so lovely and kind and explained everything. 100% recommend.
