Michael Tuck Lettings in Quedgeley have managed our rental property for the past 11+ years.
During this time their professionalism has never dropped. In the early days, Ian, Graham and Vikki-Lee were a huge help to a novice landlord. I’m pleased to say they are still there with a helping hand. Claire has always been the nudge I needed for the necessary insurance and safety checks. Having had some difficult times over the past couple of years I would like to say a special thank you to Lianne who has been there to help wherever she could.
We are in the process of selling the property and as expected Miles and Otis are dealing with everything with Tucks usual professionalism.
I have no hesitation in recommending this lovely, friendly office.
I cannot recommend Michael Tuck Estate Agents enough.
They were so professional and so prompt with their communication. In particular we would like to mention Charlie for his regular updates and extremely helpful service in the sale of my mothers house. We were in a particularly long chain, and he went over and above to assist us in the communications between the buyers and sellers in order for our chain to proceed. He even contacted Solicitors and helped progress the exchange.
“We are certain if it wasn’t for him we wouldn’t have sold our house! We cannot thank him and his team enough.”
