VALUNATION - Key Persons
Andrew Powell delivered an excellent service. He sent the home valuation report ahead of estimated time and was a very in-depth report. Andrew called me before visiting the property to check if there was anything we would like him to look at and we could call him to discuss the any issues we may have. The report was clear with photos and easy to understand. We would recommend to others.
