“Amanda helped us with our search for the ‘perfect property’ from May 2018 until August 2019. Amanda showed us many properties mainly in the Bath and Bristol area before we finally settled on our apartment at Audley Redwood on the outskirts of Bristol.
Our search was initially for a house with a garden and two parking spaces but for various reasons we finally decided upon an apartment in a building with a lift, two outside balconies and two parking spaces in a retirement village.
It was a lengthy search and Amanda showed patience and fortitude throughout. She was helpful in pointing out the ‘pros and cons’ of the properties without pressurising us. Amanda had an excellent knowledge of the area, was enthusiastic and very pleasant to be with. We would have no hesitation in employing the services of Amanda and Stacks again if required.”
“We found Amanda at Stacks through a recommendation on social media, as we were looking to buy in Somerset, whilst living in London with our young children. Amanda gave us an insight into the area as a whole and then helped us identify areas that would suit commuting to Bristol. She was able to find us a house that suited us, before it went onto the wider market and she held the sale together with a tricky vendor, ensuring the whole purchasing process went through smoothly. We have since recommended Amanda to friends who have recently moved to the area and they have all had success finding perfect properties through her.”

“We would not have found our beautiful new home in Somerset without Amanda. She arranged for us to see it, and we had agreed the purchase, even before the house had made it onto the market. We also really appreciated her support through the purchase process – it was great to have her on our side and it certainly reduced our stress levels.”

I have worked with Amanda a number of times over recent years and would highly recommend her if you are finding it hard to find that elusive home. She is very pro-active viewing and finding homes before they come to the market and once agreed, continues to help in all aspects of your purchase, through until the moving date arrives.”

“We are very grateful for the effort you put into finding our home. It absolutely would not have been possible and your knowledge and expertise has been invaluable,. You are also a total pleasure to work with. Thank you for working so hard in raising our dream.”
Mr and Mrs H
“Thank you so much for your help in finding our home it has been a total joy to work with you. You were brilliant at getting under the skin of what we were looking for and following up every lead even when the market was particularly quiet. Without you we would not even have known about our to be home let alone been able to view so early and would have felt at sea negotiating . Thank you so much for being so opportune , thoughtful and resourceful. We are thrilled to be here and make it our home.”
Mr and Mrs H
“We were living in London when we started our search. We didn’t have the time or capacity to view each interesting property that came up. Amanda did an initial scouting (sometimes two) on our behalf and reported back, knowing what we were looking for. This was a really valuable initial screening process for us.
Her local knowledge was really valuable as someone who has such a great grip on the area. The villages where you can get more for your money, those nearer great secondary schools etc.
Amanda also asked questions (viewings and via correspondence with the agent) that we wouldn’t think of asking/ or didn’t feel comfortable asking (why is it so expensive compared to x/y?!, flood risks, previous building works etc) and dealt with the agents without us having to get involved.
When we found our house, Amanda dealt with all the negotiations. This was really valuable to us to have a neutral third party do this, with less emotion involved, and someone fighting our corner!
Amanda liaised with our solicitor, answering questions and pushing things through where possible.
She’s a pleasure to work with and we’re really glad someone recommended her to us.”
