 Testimonials

Emmaus Coventry and Warwickshire, 10th January 2013

I write to commend to you the excellent service we have received from Mr Stuart Hortop.  Emmaus Coventry and Warwickshire (ECW) commenced its search for suitable retail premises in the summer of 2012.  We met Stuart early in that process and it proved to be a valuable relationship.  Stuart worked hard to establish what our requirements were and then find premises that would meet our needs.

We viewed various properties with him and found him to be knowledgeable and helpful, responding quickly to any outstanding enquiries.

ECW is likely to be expanding its portfolio in the future and we will be seeking Stuart out when that happens.  He provided a position experience when to be frank many other agents/agencies did not.

NW, 24th September 2012

Unfortunately the 3 partners have thought long and hard over the last 2 days about Nuneaton as a town suitable for a firm such as ourselves and we have decided to look at different towns/cities.  I'd like to thank you for your help and professionalism over the past 3 weeks and wish you all the best for the future.

Mr S, 12th December 2011

I would like to take this opprtunity to congratulate you on your website for it overall excellence , content richness, breadth and user-friendliness.

Mr P, 17th May 2011

I was very pleased with the professional service received from Julie, Sally, David Robinson and the Loveitts Auction Team.  It was very nice to deal with people who did what they promised, when they promised to do it and all carried out with a personal touch. 

It was a pleasure doing business with the team.  i would certainly recommend Loveitts.
Nigel Fraser, 14th February 2011

I am writing in "Praise for the Services" provided, during the marketing of a recent property.

Having found myself with an unusual development to sell, in a difficult market, the prospects of achieving a sale looked “bleak”.  Combined with the fact that a competitor of Loveitts had totally let me down I had little faith in a positive outcome.

However, from my first meeting with John Pugh I began to experience real professionalism, honesty and quality of service, I had no hesitation instructing Loveitts to market my property.  Within days John provided several “well qualified” prospective buyers and continued to introduce interested parties from his vast contact base of local developers.  John’s approach to my marketing campaign was very thorough, bespoke and attentive.  I am grateful for the advice and wholeheartedly recommend John and his team.

Once again, a sincere thank you, and a refreshing change to deal with a fellow professional.
