“We can’t recommend Thomas Merrifield highly enough. We invited them to carry out a valuation of our property and we had no idea of the development potential it possessed.
We decided to explore the planning and Thomas Merrifield guided us every step of the way through to a successful planning consent. When the consent was granted, we decided to sell and were delighted with the price we achieved.”
