  Just sold my family house through Sylvester Properties. The service provided by Anna and Katherine was fantastic. They made the process so much easier, ensured that they were in contact with all parties on a regular basis and kept me updated. I would recommend this business and team to anyone selling their property

  We recently had the pleasure of experiencing the support,guidance and help from Anna and the team at Sylvester Properties.
Although we were purchasing a property which they held on their books we were genuinely grateful for their action throughout the purchasing stages which afforded a smooth transition.
Should we consider selling in the future we would not hesitate to seek their help and would be willing to highly recommend them to our friends and family.
A very big thank you goes out  to the whole Team.Bill & Alli.

  I had a great experience with Anna @ Sylvesters. As a first time single buyer it was quite daunting going into this experience but Anna kept me so well informed from the very first viewing right up until move in day. Absolute gem, thankyou 🤍
