Rude, Ignorant and don't work well with others. Most of my contact goes ignored, customer service is non-existent. As you can see from other reviews, they are argumentative, so no matter how many complaints you make, it will never be their fault. Avoid like the plague

Never met such rude, ignorant people, left my 84 year old Mother outside because she had no appointment (she didn't know) then talking business in the street! Attitude absolutely stinks. Not one nice word to say about this place! Avoid at all costs! No facility to give no stars or I would have done!

This is our second time using Moxon and Barker for a house sale and purchase and they have been amazing! I can't thank Abi & Helen enough for all their hard work. They were on the ball with everything. It was a difficult sale and purchase which was very stressful at times but they had it all under control. I would 100% recommend them to any one! Thanks again you have been fantastic!
