I went with SH to see my property and although the original evaluation was slightly overpriced, the service itself was great. Quick to arrange the listing and any viewings. All handled very safely with the covid restrictions that were in place at the time too.
Linda in particular is a great asset to SH. She was so helpful and patient and kept me well informed and updated with any progress or changes. Much more so than my actual solicitor, so I was very grateful for the service i received.

It is a privilege to appreciate the premier class assistance Shortland Horne gave with our house sales and purchase. Due to the pandemic, moving took almost a year to complete but Shortland Horne were there throughout seeking out purchasers and coordinating our purchase with great care and empathy. Now that the boxes are empty it's great to relax and enjoy a quality home. So grateful thanks go to all of you at Shortland Horne - really enjoyed working with you.

Our experience with Shortland Horne began with Bill's valuation in his wonderful friendly, caring style. Subsequently the arrangements you all made for viewings were outstanding, especially after COVID kicked in. Dan was superb facilitating the sale and purchase, always keeping us informed of progress in this endurance test. Your After Sales Team of Linda, Vikki and Sam were very caring with Sam excellent in the last few anxious days, seeking to unlock log jams down the chain. In reflection it was a splendid decision to choose Shortland Horne to act for us. Thank you all once again.

Excellent property managers since we've moved in. We've really felt like the property is looked after and we've been listened to. Quick to respond to any maintenance issues or queries and the whole team is very helpful. We've really been allowed to make this home our own and Shortland Horne have been most accomodating and enthusiastic about it.

Daniel and Victoria have been both very helpful and supportive every step of the way. They both went beyond and above to support us from the first viewing until after we collected the keys! They were very supportive and very helpful and did everything in their powers to expedite the process. I would definitely recommend this estate agency. Five stars team!

Myself and family members have used Shortland Horne to both buy and sell houses. Most recently I sold a house with them and the service was nothing short of perfect from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble, the team were all on the ball and it went through with no hiccups at all, and as an added bonus they also bagged me over asking price!! Would highly recommend the sales team.

I am more than happy to recommend Shortland Horne in relation to negotiating on the purchase of a house in Coventry. We dealt with Mandy, and the process could not have been easier - polite, straight-forward, honest. We had had poor experiences with another estate agent, and we immediately felt more comfortable and confident in dealing with Mandy. A great service so far!

Excellent service when finding a new tenant for my property. In particular Michelle was fantastic when the tennant was found, negotiating the terms of the contract, informing utility companies and the council on my behalf and keeping me well informed.

I had a great experience when I recently contacted Danny Thomas at Shortland Horne Estate Agents. Danny was extremely knowledgeable, polite and very professional. Danny offered great advice and the whole process was very efficient and far quicker than expected. The customer service provided by Danny was excellent. Based on my experience I would recommend not only Shortland Horne I would also strongly advise that you talk to Danny.

First, I want to say this is my second house, so I have some experience. We attempted to move for months but because of the chain related issue we could not even after consulting some agents Thank God for these God sent angels Laura and Will. They were patient, kind, helpful, truthful and above all professional. They were willing to help even when they were on holiday. Their communication is second to none weve known from housing agents.

The Shorthand Horne team sold our old house at a very good price and helped us throughout the move that if felt like there was no chain - amazing. The home we got from OFlanagan Homes through Shorthand Horne is amazing. The finishing for the price we got the house is superb and the builder very considerate. Friends, visitors and colleagues are now trailing them for similar property. We want to say many thanks and God bless you and your team really well.

Shortland Horne and in particular Bill Green were amazing with the sale of my mother in law's house, the whole process from when they first looked at the probate situation through to completion has been seamless and perfect. The fact that the house also managed to achieve full asking price was a great bonus. We are all delighted. The after sales team were great at keeping us informed.

So, thank you from the bottom of our hearts and best wishes for the future.
