We have been using McKinlays for 3years first as our letting agent and finally to sell our house. Both Nick and Rachel have always been professional, supportive and responsive. The sale in these difficult times came with some issues but Nick worked really hard to resolve things and we know he was working in our interests. We have no hesitation in recommending McKinlays both for letting and sales. Thank you

We contacted a few estate agents but the service we received from Nick at McKinlays was by far the best. Quick to respond and did anything he could to help. He also sold our house on the first viewing and make it really easy for my fiance and I during the whole process. Not just the selling of our house but help with solicitors and ensuring the smoothest transition. Would recommend to anyone, best in the business!

Nicholas McKennan is a brilliant estate agent. Very professional and on several occasions accommodated late viewings for us. When showing us around the house, he gave us plenty of space to view and talk to each other. He was very knowledgeable about the house, the area and other houses in Taunton. We had a very pleasant experience with Mckinleys. Thank you Nick!

Thank you to Nick & his team for helping us complete. Nick kept the momentum in a changing market & we are grateful for his commitment to selling our property. He was keen to guide us when needed but always gave us options if required. Finally, and most grateful that he tried to appease all parties, especially tenants when selling our property. Nicks experience & knowledge was hugely appreciated & come highly recommended.

Nick and his team come from the "old school" of estate agents but with a very modern approach. Nick will tell you how it is and then get it done without any "bull". There are many other agents that I've had dealings with that would do well to take a leaf out of his book. From the outset of finding tenants for my house through to the sale of it very recently, I can't think of one hitch that I had to endure. Many thanks to you Nick and Rachael and the rest of your team. I'm impressed and that takes some doing!
