Despite the current pandemic, the local housing market shows no signs of slowing down. However, we would like to assure all of our customers and staff that the safety of our clients, staff and their families is of paramount importance to Michael Tuck.
Our branches remain open by prior appointment, and we are now providing viewings and valuations in accordance with government guidance.
