Just to say thank you very much indeed for all your professionalism and for finding the right property. We would highly recommend you in future both for your professional approach, your contacts and generally enabling people to find the property of their choice.

'...our greatest admiration and gratitude goes to Hilary Allen. We have had nothing but the most enormous help, support and encouragement from her; keeping us constantly informed and never failing to chase up solicitors, vendors and their agents. She has been our rock and has done so much more than 'just her job'. We simply couldn't have done it without her and kept our sanity!'

‘I just wanted to say a big thank you for all the help, guidance and expertise you brought to us when we were trying to buy a second home in the South Hams. Buying a house is stressful at any time, but trying to do so from 200 miles away, in an area you are not totally familiar with is next to impossible. However with your knowledge of the area and the local housing market we were able to buy our dream home, and I suspect we would not have found it had you not ‘put the feelers out’ to your contacts. I was especially impressed by the way you quickly understood our needs and translated them into your search, viewing houses we would probably not have picked as you saw that something special in them. You guided us through the minefield of pricing and also worked with us and the builder to make us realise the potential that you could see, and we couldn't! The end result was our beautiful house and two very happy clients.’

‘Hilary has a huge range of local contacts both within the estate agent community and the wider market. Her experience and knowledge of the South Hams area will ensure that you hear about properties that may not yet be widely available to the market and so giving you that extra advantage. Hilary is very happy to carry out that local area research that is important to any property purchase but doesn't appear on agents’ details. Plus she provides those crucial photographs of the property and surroundings, which build the total picture. If you live out of the area, this can save both unnecessary viewing journeys and disappointment when the location doesn't quite live up to the initial description!’

‘As we were moving 300 miles to find a home in Devon, we engaged the services of Hilary Allen. Her knowledge of the area was invaluable and she sourced us a number of properties to view, which were all as per our brief. We purchased a country cottage with sea views – a real gem! Hilary more than went that extra mile on several occasions and was totally professional at all times. We would happily recommend her services to any prospective client.’
