Mountwood and Savills have a close working relationship and the professionalism and success of this collaboration is evidently demonstrated by the successful sale of one of the most prestigious houses to sell in St George’s Hill in 2017, which sold within weeks of being launched to the market. Seller, St George’s Hill

The team at Savills found me an excellent tenant for our house in Burwood Park. They were professional, helpful and efficient in getting the due diligence carried out and the agreements signed and exchanged. Landlord, Burwood Park

I have found the service from Savills in selling my house to be highly professional and excellent in every way. A number of viewings took place within days of marketing commencing and the accepted offer, very near to the asking price, was made after only three weeks. Seller, Esher Place Estate

We are in difficult times as you know……I have to say you have earned your fee and I have been very pleased with the service. Best regards to all and thank you once again. Seller, St George’s Hill

We recently completed on a house in Cobham. The advice and help that we received throughout the process was exemplary. I don’t imagine we will be buying or selling another house in Cobham anytime soon but if we were, we would certainly look to reconnect with Savills again. Buyer, Oxshott Way Estate

The Savills team were often dealing with buyers from different countries and on very different time zones. They work accordingly to get the job done, taking calls and responding to e-mails sometimes well out of office hours. Seller, Burwood Park
