We dealth with James at Burgess Thomson for the purchased of an apartment in Wickham and found him to be very professional. He was extremely thorough in checking things but was very personable. They communicated with us every step of the way keeping us informed at all times. I would definitely recommend using them and plan to do so soon to update our wills.

5 stars. Having known James for some years indirectly, and over those years being extremely impressed with his professionalism and kindness, to me it was a no brainer to approach James in regards to purchasing my first home with my partner. From Offer, contract negotiation to settlement, James and his team provided us service that was second to none. Making the entire journey as stress free as possible. We will definitely use Burgess Thompson again and would highly recommend for others to do so. Regards
