We recently rented a house through Key Drummond who were superb. All the staff were so helpful and efficient. We couldn't praise them more highly. Thank you for making it such an easy and enjoyable experience.

Danny knows the local market - and I'd say the human psyche - better than any other agent I've ever engaged, and I've been through eight moves in my lifetime. It's not just about valuations in his game, but working out if people really do want to buy, and, for that matter, sell. He was always an informed, reassuring and often philosophical guide through what is always going to be a stressful process. Unhesitatingly recommended.

We just completed on our new home, and rarely in life so I feel compelled to write a Google review but the whole process of buying our home (which let's be honest, is never a plain sailing!), was a complete joy thanks to the team at Key Drummond. From the very first call enquiry, the lovely Sandy was on hand with extensive advice about the location and even support with school research.

Then Lewis took over our purchase process and was an absolute star throughout - he become a HUGE support, ensuring information flowed between the sell and buy side, speeding things up when things stalled, being supportive when things got tough, even coming over with a celebratory hamper when we moved it. We could not have asked for more from this team and would not hesitate to recommend them. HUGE HUGE thanks, we are so thrilled that you helped us come home to Poole x

Having initially marketed my property through another agent, Nick quickly found a buyer and worked hard to close the deal quickly and efficiently. A great result.

I was buying a property and need to complete soon as possible. Lewis was very professional, great at communicating with both sides. Even went out his way chasing up unanswered enquiries from management agents. I completed on my dream home within 4 weeks from day offer was accepted. Thanks to Lewis and KeyDrummond!

Nick at Key Drummond did a superb job of selling our house. Achieved a great price whilst always being honest and respectful. I would certainly recommend them as the best agent I have dealt with in BH13.

Both Danny and Nick were a pleasure to deal with, consistently responsive and attentive to our particular situation. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them or to use them again in the future.

Oh my gosh. Nick, Lewis, Annabel and the team are without doubt the best estate agents I have ever worked with. They have sold a property for me that is a little way from their normal stomping ground, but did so more quickly and professionally than any local agent. They have kept me constantly in the loop and found a buyer almost immediately. I cannot recommend them highly enough and I certainly will use them again. Thanks Key Drummond!

Outstanding service from Danny - always responsive, always tried to help us ( even when is wasn't strictly his role in the process) and kept us up to date on what was happening. This was at a time when he was exceptionally busy - yet I never had to wait long at all to get hold of him. He was always really polite and friendly, it was clear he really understood what it was like for us as clients and went over and above to reassure us in what was a stressful period. Would not hesitate to recommend him and Key Drummond.

We recently purchased a property through Key Drummond and we cannot recommend them highly enough. They were consistently friendly, professional and efficient. Nick was excellent throughout the whole process, keeping us up to date and informed and always responding to emails and phone calls straight away. We felt well looked after and that our personal needs were really considered every step of the way. Wouldn't hesitate to use them in the future.

We have just purchased a property through Key Drummond. The service from our first contact through to completion was first class. Lewis looked after us and he was always available to answer any question or offer advise when necessary. He is a credit to the company. One Friday afternoon Nick kindly took time from his busy schedule to meet us at the property so we could show our daughter around.

We highly recommend this company and believe being an independent Estate Agency they offer a personal service which I am not convinced you would necessarily get from a national chain.
