I would like to say a massive Thankyou to Jules,... Nicola and the whole team at First Step. We’d been looking for a property in the area for some time but so glad we approached First Step to help with our search. From booking a viewing through to completion, the team at First Step were friendly, quick to respond and were pivotable in keeping the flow of information moving throughout a tricky and at times frustrating purchase. In fact Jules helped to unlock a query that was holding up the whole purchase. In short a happy buyer and no doubt a happy seller too. I would 100% recommend to anyone looking to sell or buy a property in the area.read more

I would not hesitate in recommending First Step... Properties. Our agent, Gaye went out of her way to help us find a home and was such a pleasure to deal with. The efficiency and professionalism with which Gaye, and the First Step team, handled our application process was commendable; but what really stood out for us was having an agent who actually cared. Thank you so much to Gaye and First Step.read more

First Step have gone above and beyond during our... recent move. It wasn't the easiest by any means and they couldn't have done more, brilliant communication and always remaining professional. Jules supported not only us but our buyer at times also and without her help I'm sure our chain could have fallen apart many times. The service provide by Jules and the team was exceptional.read more

First Step have been efficient and professional... from the very first contact through to completion of the property sale.I've been super impressed at every step of the process and delighted with the proactive nature of the service from everyone that I've dealt with, particularly Jules. From the quality of advertising our home, the standard of potential purchasers who were accompanied by First Step to view our home whilst we were on holiday, the qualified offers that we received meaning that we accepted an offer with 5 days of putting the house on the market and the ongoing service dealing with the usual queries that arise during the conveyancing process. Absolutely delighted and very happy to recommend. Thank lots, Sueread more

Buying a house is supposed to be stressful and in... most cases it really is. We couldn’t have found a better agent to help us with this than First Step. From the first contact and the first appointment to the day of completion and even after that, Jules has been absolutely superb. The level of professionalism (and that of other First Step staff when we needed to contact them) was outstanding and it really sets the standards for all estate agents. We could always rely on her advice and proactiveness, we never felt chased and when we needed a response we would get it in a matter of minutes no matter how trivial the question was. We cannot recommend First Step enough to anyone who wishes to buy a house.Thank you Jules and everybody at First Stepread more

We had a really positive experience working with... Jules and her team at First Step.We had used First Step to manage our property as a rental and had always been happy with their service, so naturally wanted to use them to sell our property. Living in America now presented a few challenges, as well as a 7 time hour difference. However the team at First Step communicated every step of the way and made the whole process as stress free as possible. We would highly recommend.read more

My partner and I are first time renters and we... had struggled to find a property due to COVID. After passing my details over to FirstStep we were contacted by Gaye who had found us a property and helped us from day 1 to view the house, secure the property and move in all within a month. good customer service, very helpful and patient with us as it was our first time in this process and we had a lot of questions. Would definitely rent through FirstStep again and highly recommend them.read more

We recently purchased a property through First... Step and were impressed with the service they provide. From booking a viewing through to completion, the team at First Step were friendly. Jemma deserves a shout out for being so efficient. She was liaising with our solicitors and our sellers’ solicitors daily, and then able to update us on how the chain was looking and how the process was going. We feel Jemma was one of the reasons we were able to complete before the end of June and we are very grateful!read more

We sold our house through First Step in June 2021... and managed to complete in time for the stamp duty holiday. First Step got us our asking price that was above our expectations and managed the process from start to finish in a professional and timely manner despite it being the the busiest month in the history of the housing market. I can't recommend them enough.read more

I thoroughly recommend First Step. The attention... to detail is spot on. They go that extra mile to resolve those issues that block the chain which we all suffer from. Ensure to the best of their ability milestones are met for everyone to move as seamlessly as possible. Our extended family have used them on several occasions and they are second to none locally.read more

Thank you so much to everyone at first step that... helped us firstly find out dream house, and then went on to help support us through the buying process.Buying a house / moving house is extremely stressful, but luckily we had Jemma at first step to help us through it all. She was always there at the end of the phone. Jemma helped make sure the house purchase went as smoothly as it could. She kept us up to date with all the information we needed and how to do certain things. We are extremely grateful for all the help we received.Thank you again Jemma and everyone at first step.read more

I have had the pleasure of liaising with First... Step initially on the lettings side and then more recently on the sales side. The whole team were professional, pleasant to speak with and provided regular updates throughout. In particular Gaye and Jemma were very helpful.

I was a buyer, and First Step were first class.... Very friendly and attentive, clearly very knowledgeable and knew how to close a deal. Post acceptance their Sales Progresser was excellent in keeping up progress and communications as well as swiftly dealing with queries. I could not fault First Step in any way, they were superb from the first phone call until the last.read more

We recently bought a property through Claudia at... First Step being a first time buyer I wasn’t exactly clued up with everything. I had many silly questions but every single one was answered.Claudia is a lovely person and she kept us updated throughout the whole process, she called and emailed even outside her stated hours. She was always honest and cheery even with things outside of her control. Without her I think I’d have been running around in circles, I think I contacted her more than our solicitor as she always seemed to have the answers or get things moving again. Literally couldn’t have asked for a nicer person and company to deal with.I’m that confident that I’m even writing this review before we’ve fully completed because I know that everything has been handled correctly. Thank you Claudia and the rest of the team at First Step for helping us purchase our first home 🥂💕read more

Gaye at First Step was an absolute star in... finding us a home. She was dedicated to her search for us and was a pleasure to deal with every step of the way. Kind, thoughtful, professional and supportive in our very stressful search during a crazy time for Tenants seeking homes. She found us the perfect place and we are so happy with our new place. She even recommended a moving company who were brilliant too!Cannot express just how good First Step are to deal with - everyone is courteous and friendly. Thank you First Step!read more

Fantastic service, highly recommended!! I cannot... praise First Step enough and if I could I would give them 10 stars!We recently bought our beautiful house through First Step and couldn't have been happier with the service they provided. From booking a viewing to completion, every member of staff we spoke to was extremely helpful, polite, professional, responsive and genuine.The sale became a little complicated at times with Covid disruption and a few other obstacles along the way but First Step were amazing at keeping everything on track and very importantly, keeping us updated and in the loop.In particular I have to give a special mention to Jemma. She was, without a doubt, absolutely amazing and is a real credit to First Step. Once the sale was agreed, Jemma took over our case and she was a real star. Jemma was friendly, understanding hard working and went hugely above and beyond in every way to ensure we were able to buy our house. She was in regular contact with us and chased the chain relentlessly on our behalf. She kept our spirits high and positive through some of the difficulties we experienced. Nothing was too much trouble and I'm not sure what we would have done without her!!Jemma and Jules made us feel that we were more than just another client, that they honestly cared about us as individuals and not just as a sale. They understand all the stresses that can come with buying a house and went out of their way to try to minimise them. It felt more like family than an estate agent.If we ever decide to move, we wouldn't hesitate to sell and buy through First Step again, or to recommend them to others. Thank you to all the team!!read more
