We chose Mike because we purchased this property through him. Now eight years later he has sold it for us at a very good price. He is very personable, a good listener, a hard worker, communicates clearly and frequently, and kept us up to date with the sale process. We would unreservedly recommend him to others wanting to buy or sell property.

When we decided to sell our property there was only one team we considered, that was Team Preston. From our first meeting to go over the plan of action, to the finish line of selling the property, Mike and Simon did all they could to make the journey a smooth one, from the marketing, to the Simon-run Open homes, it all ran so smoothly. We were kept well-informed about how things were going along - this was much appreciated. Over the years we have sold a number of properties but this Team was "Simply the Best" we have ever dealt with.
Simon has been very helpful, professional and flexible. I would definitely recommend him.

As a first time home buyer Thank you Thank you Thank you To Simon and the rest of the team I really appreciated the amazing service I received from you all I will certainly be strongly recommending you to family and friends Thanks once again
We highly recommend Mike Preston as an agent. What started as a bit of a random enquiry has ended up being the purchase of a property. Mike's conscientious and patient manner allowed us to work through the Covid19 restrictions and satisfy all our needs leading to a successful conclusion.
Mike and Simon recently listed and successfully sold my property in Tinwald. It was right at the time of the Covid lockdown so if things weren’t already stressful this wasn’t an ideal time to list a property but these two took that in their stride. They were always professional and helpful about the ins and outs of selling. I was guided by their experience and knowledge and felt totally at ease with their marketing campaign. They made the process extremely easy and I would certainly recommend their services to anyone selling a property.
Just open, friendly and good to deal with.
Because Mike Preston has been amazing to work with - always communicating & a very nice person
Excellent service, kept us updated at all times.
Mike was upfront and honest, we were kept well informed throughout the whole process
Our business relationship has always been professional with prompt response to queries and any actions required. A friendly and approachable team have made it easy to build a trusting relationship. A regional Bayleys team has supported a NfP organisation I am involved with and they have been a great team who have been only too willing to help.
