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.
We have finally managed to find time, following the usual rumpus of moving, to sit down and say a big thank you for helping us find our lovely home here in Pembrokeshire.
Having decided to retire here from Hampshire we spent many hours in fruitless search for our dream home and were disappointed so many times on turning up to view a property that did not turn out to meet our expectations.
There is no doubt that your comprehensive knowledge of the area and sensitive understanding of what we were seeking led us straight to exactly what we were looking for and ultimately saved us much frustration and many wasted hours.
When we finally made the decision to find a property near to my childhood roots, we had certain fixed ideas and requirements but neither the time nor the patience to search for the right type of property and investment. Getting a really good idea and understanding of our requirements and just what we meant or felt about the venture, was the first objective that Carol Peett sorted out.
We were quickly impressed with the thoroughness of her subsequent investigation which ranged far and wide and covered the sort of detail that we would never have found the time to do ourselves. Pros and cons of particular areas within our search area were compared to areas further a field. A feeling for which estate agents were good and which were not, was all part of this thorough initial report which gave a detailed descriptions of a long list of potential properties that might suit. Each description contained a balanced and fair assessment of both good points and bad points, something we really valued, allowing us to pick a short list to view on a day’s visit. This was superbly arranged and conducted by Carol with the various Estate Agents and made the most of the limited time we had available. It was particularly valuable having Carol’s professional shoulder to lean on during this viewing day.
Having then made a decision, Carol handled all the negotiations, another great part of the service which no doubt saved us hassle, time and money. Someone like Carol, who knows the workings of the Estate Agency business can I am sure save pounds at this stage and that was certainly true in our case. The help and advice form this point onwards was no less and in fact the constant chivvying of both solicitors, the seller and the estate agent was all part of the great service provided. Had it not been for this help and pressure, we might still have been waiting for completion and would have probably lost the property.
The exceptional service, sensitive and perceptive attention that we received throughout was outstanding. The whole experience was painless and even enjoyable. It was certainly outstandingly successful in that some 18 hours after completion our tenant moved in.
I would not hesitate to recommend Carol Peett.
Carol worked tirelessly to find and secure us the perfect property in our dream location. Without Carol’s expertise and dedication we would not have found it, especially as the area we so love does not have many houses, let alone properties for sale. Carol has a wealth of contacts in West Wales and her support in negotiations and seeing through the whole process was invaluable.
Indefatigable, tenacious, professional.. the whirlwind that is Carol. Terrier-like, she won’t let go until she gets the result she’s after.. whether that’s the best house or the right house in all the circumstances. Carol took on a challenge with our low budget desire for a remote bolthole… and tempered its romantic instincts with realism. We may not have the house of our dreams but we have the beginnings of something we can make special. Without Carol we would have continued our unstructured and fruitless search – which to date has been several years in the ether… looking vaguely in North Devon and the Gower. Carol might have persuaded us to look further afield in Pembrokeshire but she also provided much needed focus. We would highly recommend Carol and her black book of trusted specialists and excellent local knowledge; we are truly grateful for her unflagging encouragement and ongoing offers of help and know we will continue to seek and value her help and advice.

“We thought that finding a property to buy in Pembrokeshire while we were still living in France would be quite a task and so it would have been without Carol. She saved us many a lengthy journey by doing so much of the preparatory work for us which meant that we were able to find a property during a single one week visit. Somehow she seemed able to keep her eye on what was happening with our transaction whilst simultaneously giving her full attention to many others, reporting back on progress, giving a gentle nudge wherever one was required, and generally managing the seemingly unmanageable. Her local contacts and knowledge have been invaluable and the personal service continues, putting us in contact with all manner of useful trades and crafts in order to turn our house into our home. We don’t know how you do it, Carol but thank our lucky stars that you do!”

“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”Libby Seery 22nd August 2018
Carol is phenomenal in what she does. If you are looking for your dream home in West Wales then Carol will not stop until she roots it out for you.
