Testimonials & Case Histories

Just a quick note to thank you so much for helping us find the most wonderful new house.

We were so tired of our fruitless search and, until you came along, we did despair of ever finding anywhere we could both like.  Now we are fired up and so looking forward to tackling the garden.

We cannot thank you enough for your constant advice and good humour and we will recommend you to everyone we know.

Sorry it has taken a while for me to write but I just wanted to say a big thank you for your efforts in finding us the holiday house we had dreamed of for so long.  After looking on and off for some 9 years, we had thought we would never find exactly what we wanted – or if we found it, it would never be for sale.  So we set you what we thought was an almost impossible task, but within only a few months you had managed to both find and secure exactly what we were looking for through a combination of your excellent connections and friendly and approachable manner.  I know we will now enjoy many years of happy family holidays in Pembrokeshire – thank you!

We completed the purchase of our home for the future two days ago. This wonderful, Grade II listed cottage in St Dogmaels near Cardigan is on the Teifi estuary and from the steps at the bottom of our lawn we can walk down to the water’s edge. Today the sky was cloudless and the views across and down the estuary were spectacular.

We had spent five years looking for such a location. Not only had Carol, after we had commissioned her, found the ideal property within one week, she had persuaded the owners to bring their plans forward and sell to us.

She has shared in our excitement in finding such a terrific home and she has been there to help us through the valuation, survey, discussions with the local council, negotiations with the vendor and if we asked, I suspect, she would have turned the key to let us in today. We cannot praise Carol too highly.

“A consummate professional. Tenacious, relentless, formidable; there just aren’t enough superlatives to convey how truly incredible Carol is.

I decided I wanted to relocate to West Wales from Kent, and started looking for a new property more than 18 months ago.  However, my research would yield more questions than it did answers, and I didn’t find a single property that I felt inspired enough to want to view.  It was clear I needed help.  So, changing my approach, I did a quick search of “property finders in Wales”, and bingo!

On the 17th June, I sent a text asking if someone would be able to contact me.  I assumed it would be at least a day or two, seeing as it was a Sunday evening, but to my absolute surprise, Carol called me back within a couple of minutes.

Little did I know that in less than five weeks, my whole life would change.  On Saturday 13th July, Carol had arranged a viewing for a property that hadn’t yet gone to market.  As I stepped out of the car, I knew she had found me my absolute dream home.  I put an offer on the house there and then, and I move to Pembrokeshire at the end of September to start a wonderful new chapter in my life.

From the very first time I spoke with Carol, I knew I had made the right decision in working with her.  She offers a very personal service that is nothing short of remarkable; working tirelessly to ensure she found my forever home.

Since then, she has overseen every aspect of the purchase, and much more besides.  Regardless of what I need, she’s there with a smile and her bible of contacts, ready to assist me.

I cannot imagine being happier than I am now, and I cannot thank Carol enough”

As we’re nearing exchange of contracts on Gilfach, Nicola and I thought that we would write a short note to express our delight at the assistance, guidance and all-round wonderful service that you have given us. I don’t think that we have ever come across anyone so dynamic or tenacious in the pursuit of a client’s wishes!

You’ve been amazing!

Your intimate knowledge of your market and exceptional local contacts means that we have found the house of our dreams in Wales – Of course, it isn’t anywhere close to the brief that we originally gave you, but you found it anyway!

If any of our friends were thinking of buying property in this area, we wouldn’t just recommend, we would insist that they take advantage of your expertise – like us they wouldn’t regret it.

May I take this opportunity of thanking you for all your help and assistance in findiing our new home here in beautiful Pembrokeshire.

When Max and I first decided to take the plunge and up sticks and start a new life in the beautiful Pembrokeshire countryside back in June 2008 from Hertfordshire (a distance of some 250+ miles), we were faced with a daunting task, as we quickly realised our main knowledge of the area was limited to the main tourist trail.

The thought of having to drag our 3 dogs around in the car with us, trying to find accommodation which catered for 3 dogs, visit estate agents, attend viewings, the miles and miles of driving to and fro from England to Wales, was daunting to say the least.

It was with great delight that I came across your website and saw that you were so centrally located in Pembrokeshire and couldn’t help but make contact.  The rest of course is history – within a week we were heading down the M4 corridor to meet with you and plan the way forward and from that moment on it was all systems go.

We would particularly like to thank you for your patience, your professionalism and your guidance, your skills and knowledge of the world of estate agents and of the housing market in general and your our extensive knowledge of the local area is outstanding – it made such a difference having someone ‘in the know’ re different areas who was able to steer us in the right direction.  As we all know the whole process of buying and selling is extremely stressful and for us moving to a new area across many miles certainly proved to be just that.  The process was made so so much easier in knowing that you were there to be our eyes for us, to be on hand at any time.  To be able to just pick up the telephone or send an email with yet another question, or other suggestion was a godsend.  The fact you were also able to provide us with very useful information with regard to our selling our own property and of course your ability to tune into ‘us’, assess what our ‘needs’ and ‘wants’ were, must have been very difficult but you seemed to do this with relative ease and now we are in situ we can just call you to put us in touch with any tradesperson etc.

Of course the endless viewings undertaken by yourself on our behalf – it was great to be able to trust someone to be our eyes and have complete confidence in the advice given as to whether or not we should make the journey to view a particular property.

You did find a little ‘gem’ for us and here we are now in our new home, which is now newly  named ‘Hollytrees’.  Due to the condition of the housing market at that time, I have no doubt that had it not been for you being our eyes, we would have missed this particular property – thank goodness it is now our home, in a location we just love and with a cottage garden to go with it!

Finally, I would have no hesitation in recommending the services of yourself and Rayner to anyone who  may wish to follow in our footsteps and please feel free to show any prospective client a copy of this letter.  The service given has literally been from beginning and actually never ends as the support is ongoing, always with a personal touch.

Thank you once again ……

When my husband and I decided to move to Pembrokeshire from London we didn’t really know where to begin.  Due to my work commitments and my husband’s health, I was unable to spend time driving up and down viewing properties so we contacted Carol  Peett.

My husband is in a wheelchair so we needed a house which would accommodate this and which had a bedroom and bathroom downstairs with wide corridors and doorways and spacious rooms.  We also wanted to be in a village with a good community spirit and within a short drive of a larger town with a hospital.

With her in-depth knowledge of the region, Carol was able to talk us through the pros and cons of various areas and what our money would buy us in those areas.  She understood our requirements perfectly and they began a thorough search, keeping us informed of progress at all times.  When Carol took me to view their shortlist of houses, I fell in love with ours immediately; it was everything I dreamed of and more.  The layout was perfect for my husband, it is situated in a beautiful estuary village with a village shop and lively social life centred round the cricket club and is within 10 minute drive of Haverfordwest.

She conducted all negotiations for us and managed our purchase which took so much of the burden off my shoulders.  Carol recommended surveyors and other tradesmen, helped us with our move and her help has gone way beyond the call of duty. Her help and understanding made what was a very daunting and stressful prospect become a wonderful reality that I may never have achieved without them.  I would highly recommend her and their service to anyone.
