I have no experience with them as a vendor but I have dealt with them when I viewed a property and they were ok, as far as estate agents go. Suffice to say the choice of agent is secondary as to whether the vendor takes a sensible view on what the property is worth on the open market (i.e not what they think/Sarah Beeny/their mate tells them what a similar property is worth) If you price it right (assuming you are not up to your neck in it) then the property should sell itself (subject to any complications with the chain). If you are relying on the agent to put the boot it - you've not priced it at the right level... (oh, and avoid Shepherds)

Really liked dealing with Lanes, would recommend highly. Katrina really helpful, was honest about what properties were like (so we didn't waste ours or vendors time), reliable (only estate agent we didn't have to wait for when viewing) and seemed to actually genuinely take on board what we were looking for and most helpful when selling too. Made a refreshing change from some of the other estate agents in town.

We bought through Lanes February 2009. Very helpful and kept the chain going despite the people at the top being difficult. Really easy to get along with, too.

I've only had dealings with James when I moved down and was looking to buy a property. Extremely helpful, would recommend.

I very recently dealt with James at Lanes indirectly as he was involved in a sale further down our chain. There were various problems with solicitors in the chain (nothing new there!) and James was excellent in chasing all parties, keeping everyone informed of progress and ensuring the agreed completion date was met (none of which our own estate agent seemed capable of doing). Highly recommended

Thanks to everyone for their comments. We have plumped for Lanes. Fingers crossed. And apologies to Steve for starting this post in the wrong thread. P
