“We are not only satisfied clients, but delighted clients. Trust is so important, and Middleton delivered on everything they told us they would do.”

BOB & MINDY RICH

“I’ve been really impressed by the professionalism, care and attention to detail. They were diligent, creative in approaching our brief, and very respectful. They’re obviously used to dealing with people who don’t have huge amounts of time, they took responsibility, making decisions for us – which is a difficult thing to get right”

SIMON MOTTRAM

“I think Middleton may have known even better than I did, the type of property I was looking for, because, although I’d been initially reluctant to see the place we eventually bought, I said ‘wow’ the minute we turned into the driveway.”

STEPHEN SCHAFFER

“It was a fantastic experience, and we would not have got the house without Middleton. We hadn’t used a buying agent before, and I was sceptical as to how it would bring value, but we were completely converted. They probably saved us money overall through the price negotiations.”
