We have been very satisfied with the professional, efficient and very pleasant manner in which your company took us through the whole process of selling a home. We can't praise Lana Banford highly enough, she always took time and was proactive in dealing with all aspects of the maze of selling a property today as opposed to 24 years ago when we last moved house. As our purchase is also one off your listings Lana again has been so helpful and conscientious and we are indebted to her for making our move a pleasant one. We would also highly recommend all your staff who are always on hand to assist.
- Alan & Evelyn Waugh
Lana Banford provided excellent support and expertise throughout the duration of my house sale. Her insights to the market and professional, calm manner were much appreciated and played a big part in making the sale process stress free. Many thanks, Lana.
- Sarah Bell
We were very impressed with how Lana handled the sale of our house. The organisation of viewings was good and communication throughout was exactly what we needed. Overall, our experience of Templeton Robinson for our house sale could not have been better and we would not hesitate to recommend Templeton Robinson, and Lana, to friends and family.

The property has been sympathetically renovated balancing the benefits of modern living with all the warmth, charm, and character synonymous with properties of this era.
