We identified Signature as our agent due to a sale in the neighbourhood. Signature have been very professional in our sale of the property in West Knighton area. Several potential buyers were identified pretty soon, and the sale completed on time. Every time there was an issue in the process, Jag was at hand to support us. Very reasonable fees, and we'll worth it. We very much recommend them, and wish them all the best.

We bought our first home with Signature and we are pleased to say it's been a very good experience with this agent. We have viewed properties and put offers in with other agents as well, but Jagjit from Signature was the best to deal with, we felt as buyers we were treated with respect and felt Jag was very honest, straight forward, and reponsive to our enquiries. Our purchase went smoothly with no hiccups and was complete in slightly over 2 months. Will always recommend if you're buying or selling.
