I moved home in May to a lovely rented house. I dealt with Ashleigh mainly but also Claire, and can honestly say it was a pleasant and very smooth process. All of the girls I met were absolutely lovely and were so extremely helpful and went out of their way to accommodate some specific needs that we had. I can't thank them enough. I would recommend to anyone. Very professional company. Thank you. Gemma

On calling in at the office of Harrisons Estate Agents on the off chance that they may be able to find me a property in a specific area, I was introduced to Mr Derek Wilcox. He asked me several questions relating to our requirements and informed us that there was a property coming on their auction site in the near future. Prior to the sale Derek arranged a viewing appointment for my wife and I which was on time and the property on viewing was found to be perfect for our requirements. Thanks to Derek Wilcox and his company we now have an ideal property in the right location at a fair price and look forward to the future near our family and friends.

Kathy and the team has been absolutely brilliant. We are speaking in the behalf as tenants. She really works hard for not only the landlord but also sensitive to the tenants needs and has worked hard for us. We feel very looked after as tenants and supported. There has been some things that need addressing in the property and she has communicated those needs and supported them in a reasonable way for the best interests of both parties.
She is always there to help and make sure we are comfortable. We are very well taken care of. Always available! Thank you Kathy and all the others who are working hard behind the scenes. Great team :

I've worked with Harrisons/Greenwood James for around 6 years now both as a buyer and as a landlord. I always get a really speedy response to my requests and the service is mega friendly. Tiffany, Allyson and Claire have been an invaluable help to me over the years! I'd highly recommend using Harrisons.

Harrisons Lettings division have been a Godsend for me! They manage both tenants and landlords expectations wonderfully- always with a smile on their faces and happy to help. Special thanks to Allyson who has given me invaluable advice and responds so quickly to my queries. It is one thing to be good at her job, but to do it so amicably is another. The whole team is fantastic and I would not hesitate to recommend to others to use

Harrison's have recently concluded a tenant search & tenancy agreement for me on a rental property. Ashleigh who was my point of contact was superb from day one. Really professional & efficient in progressing the agreement to make it as streamlined and stress free as possible. The new tenant was found and the agreement in place all within a couple of weeks. Great work & would recommend their services.

Harrisons provide a first class service in every regard. It's not just the front end where service excels (sales/rentals) but the back end staff who provide outstanding back up. Maintenance and repairs are superbly handled by Tiffany and it is comforting to know that regulatory requirements are handled so efficiently by Tiffany.

We recently sold our property with Harrisons. They acted quickly and had our house on the market promptly. House viewings were very well coordinated and detailed feedback was also quickly shared with us. Throughout the full sale Harrisons kept us up to date with the progress of the sale and helped this go as smoothly as possible! We would highly recommend Harrisons.

With all the stress of buying a property I can safely say that Harrisons and in particular Derek was very helpful. He put my mind at ease and ensured that any issues that arose were dealt with promptly. I could not have done this without the use of such a good estate agent. Thanks again and I will be recommending your services to any of my friends wishing either buying or selling.

Harrisons recently carried out a tenant search for me at my rental property, I found them to be very thorough and professional. They took all the stress away from me that would normally go with a tenancy change enabling a smooth tenancy transfer. The new tenant was found very quickly and all necessary checks carried out. Many thanks to all staff and a special thanks to Ashleigh and Allyson. Thanks again, Simon.

Katie was is the ball and very professional! After immediately taking a liking to the property upon first viewing, Kate recommended I submit the application ASAP, which I did. I was delighted that our rental application (out of nine) was accepted by the landlord. Kate carefully guided us through every step of the reference checks. There were a few hurdles to overcome on our side but Katie patiently guided us through and even blessed us with a welcome card! I would certainly recommend Katie to anyone seeking a kind and professional service!

My boyfriend and I have just rented our first apartment with Harrisons. Our agent, Katie, was really helpful and prompt with her responses. As this was our first time moving, we had lots of queries, and Katie made the whole process very smooth and easy for us. We even received a moving in card which was a lovely touch. I would recommend Harrisons to others and we definitely won't hesitate to use them again in the future. Thank you Katie and the team at Harrisons!

I was recommended Harrisons Accountancy by an ex work colleague, Ive just completed my second year as a Sole Trader and can honestly say that the help and advise that I have received from Kenny and his staff has been invaluable, making the switch from employed to self employed caused me many a sleepless night but after a brief chat with Kenny my fears were put to one side. If you want an accountancy company to make you financial life simple then look no further!

As a Ltd Company Director at Spotlight Financial, I have used the services of Harrisons Accountancy for over 5 years. When I was looking for a new Accountant they needed to be knowledgeable, trustworthy and provide timely tax advice. Over the years Daniel at Harrisons has provided me with this and more. I highly recommend Harrisons, and have introduced some of my clients to their services. Keep up the good work

Being new to the whole VAT side of running a business, it was a challenging new venture which I was worried about going it alone. After meeting with Harrison's Accountancy Limited, those worries were laid to rest. Daniel and the team are always on hand to answer those questions I come up with. Even the ones I feel are silly questions to ask, I am made to feel very welcome.
Having the backing of Harrison's Accountancy Limited, it leaves me to get on with the important factors such as growing my business and concentrating on my customers rather than financial matters. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my financial affairs.
