What people say about us

I couldn't thank Caroline at Howell and Co enough. Finding a buyer is one thing but then getting the sale through to completion when your buyer is unrealistic and over demanding requires another set of skills altogether. We moved into our new house yesterday and it would not have happened without Caroline. Money well spent!

Amanda Jane

Can’t recommend Howell and Co highly enough. Tenant found within 5 days. Very professional and great customer service. They’ve made the whole process completely hassle free.

Clare Mckenna

Can't express enough how much we appreciate the superb service and sale of our house through Howell & Co, Caroline was amazing kept us up to date all the way through the sale and would definitely recommend to anyone buying or selling, many thanks Caroline.

Craig Carney

I just wanted to say thank you to the lettings team and Howell & Co. Moving property is never easy but you really made it as simple as you could. When I moved in there were a few things that needed sorting (which they had told me about before) but due to needing to move quickly I was happy to accept that. Paul has been easy to deal with and has sorted them out quickly and with no fuss. Again, thank you.

Sam Todd

EXCEPTIONAL service from Caroline and her Team - sold two of our properties within days of going onto the market, both went through very quickly - cannot recommend them highly enough! Thank you so much for everything you have done to help us achieve these sales.
