Dear Emma and George. I just wanted you to know how very happy and settled I am here at Brook End, I’ve completely unpacked and organised my masses of stuff and spent many of the cool days tackling the garden with endless visitors giving me different ideas . The neighbours have been very welcoming and helpful. I’m SO pleased we went for it as I really love it. Do come by when you’re in this direction and have a look.

My wife and I approached George to help with buying our house in Warwickshire 5 years ago. He immediately took time to get to know us in order to understand exactly what we wanted. His intuitive understanding focused our search to properties that ticked most, if not all, of our boxes. Inside knowledge of the area and market also meant we paid significantly less for our dream home than we would have done without his expertise. We have never doubted the value he gave us. 5 years on and the market has changed considerably and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending George and Emma to help you with one of the big decisions in life.
I just wanted to say to anyone thinking of using Stacks for their property search. They are highly professional and offer a five star service. We would never have found our dream house without them.
All going well – we were over for whole month of July and hit fabulous weather the whole time. House is renting great – everyone loves it and it’s pretty much fully booked! Thanks so much for the help finding both a practical and beautiful solution!

We bought this property for an overseas buyer who wanted to bring in an income via short-term holiday lets before moving into it themselves at a later date.
George,
Just a quick email to say thank you for helping us get this far. We are both very excited about exchanging and can’t wait to complete!
Champagne all round soon!

Dear all,
I wanted to say a big thank you in all your efforts in helping us achieve an exchange on our much wanted house. George, well done in taking us to a house we didn’t know we wanted and then fell in love with, plus managing to snaffle it from another interested party!
Kind regards

Dear George,
Just to say thank you for all you have been doing to move this forward. Do give me a call if I can help at all in any way. Keeping fingers crossed that the new offer will be accepted…

George gave us a really fantastic service as a search agent. In a rather stagnant market George kept our search alive by putting houses forward to us and always made us aware of what was going on in the market and setting out the pros and cons for each location, providing us with a realistic picture, we very much felt he wasn’t looking for a sale but for the right house for us. George worked very closely with us and openly encouraged us to put forward houses we had seen for him to research and look at – this was a great time-saving service allowing us to explore all options.
A few times, we would be emailing George houses on a weekly if not daily basis asking his opinion, knowledge of the area, road noise advice etc and George was always informed and efficient in his reply – very often we had his response within an hour or so and this helped us enormously to progress at a pace and take us through lengthily thought processes in order to arrive at the right decision.
We ended up buying a house we had sourced and we wondered if perhaps the search service had been surplus to our needs but this was not at all the case as George guided us through a tricky negotiation process which we believe we couldn’t have completed successfully without him. George was also invaluable after the sale had gone through – introducing us to excellent tradesmen as well as lovely locals. Highly recommended.

George’s knowledge and understanding of the local area is second to none. His enthusiastic, charming manner was instrumental in helping us find our perfect weekend retreat. He was involved every step of the way, from our search to Completion and beyond. I would highly recommend his services.

We were living abroad and relocating back to the UK after almost 30 years and had never owned a property. We spent months trawling the online property portals and even did a virtual viewing but quickly realised buying a house from 3,500 miles away, sight unseen, was crazy and jumping on planes every other week was impossible. We knew roughly the area we wanted to live so we contacted Emma and George and it was the best decision we made. After a couple of Zoom calls, they quickly understood our circumstances and what we were looking for and set to work immediately.
Our timing was not great as the market was exploding post lockdown and inventory was very low but Emma and George were not phased and reassured us that they would find us our perfect home. We exchanged numerous listings; some dismissed straight away, and others followed up with Emma and George viewing on our behalf, sending us videos with commentary. Their feedback was honest, particularly on the properties that looked perfect in the listing but were not going to work for us, and extremely helpful.
We made a couple of trips to the UK to view properties that looked very promising and Emma and George were there to help and guide us through the process, covering many miles around the countryside (and visiting a few pubs along the way!). They were very patient with us and understood that this was going to be our one and only house purchase and it had to be right.
We finally found our home although were a little clueless about what to do next. Emma and George quickly guided us through the process and introduced us to surveyors and solicitiors. Their knowledge of the market and agents was absolutely invaluable when making the right offer. We are now in our beautiful new home and loving it.
Emma and George were great and we couldn’t have realised our dream without them. Thank you, Emma and George!

We are still enjoying every day at Holly House as if it was the first. It has been one of the best decisions we have ever made.
