Start & Co have done an amazing job for me and I have used them for almost 14 years. They have found me excellent tenants and I have never had a void. This year I decided to sell my property; their marketing delivered lots of interest, a great price agreed and sale progressed quickly to completion. I am delighted. Thank you!

Start & Co Gary and Jonathan have definelty looked after us from day 1 of our previous tenancy to our latest current one. They are prompt with correspondence to reply to questions &/ or requests and welcome feedback to improve any situation. Gary is easy going as a rental manager and most prompt. Jonathan helped to secure us a new property to rent whilst we were away recently on compassionate circumstances in Australia. Thankyou guys!

Alex Cole. Alex Cole is a sales representative for the company. We bought a new build through his daddy's company (David Cole Homes) and he may as well have not been there. Not answering his phone or responding to voicemails, not responding to our questions within the emails, not answering our questions over the phone, not meeting us on site when. we were there and he was LOCALLY working.
The construction team sold the house to us. NOT ALEX. ***He didn't even meet us at our house to deliver our keys on the move in date. We had to source keys from the construction team working on the house next door.*** - read that again. Live wires hanging out the walls, no carpet laid, back doors that won't.

We purchased our little place end of October in St Columb Minor. It was an unexpected, last minute viewing but It was all thanks to Alex understanding what we were after very early on. From offer to completion, Alex made the whole process run smoothly & without stress. We have experienced several different property agents during the last two years & we've never had an Agent like Alex act with such professionalism, reliability & friendly caring nature.
He makes you feel like your his only client, which obviously isn't the case, but nothing was too much trouble. He went above & beyond when we experienced challenges with our solicitor & helped the process complete much faster than We could've done. A credit to Start & Co! Highly recommend this agency. We will be using them again, I wouldn't go anywhere else now.

Very Impressed. Would not hesitate to recommend Start and Co. From beginning to end they have demonstrated a superior level of understanding of the Newquay property market, the mortgage market and the psychology of different types of property purchaser. There is a strong support team which ensured that viewers were able to view our property quickly, we always received feedback and the amount of chasing done by them between all parties (us, buyers, both solicitors and the mortgage broker) was astounding. Furthermore, this is a longstanding local family business with many local contacts meaning they are able to help smooth the entire process. Overall the fee represented excellent value for money.

I have recently sold a property through Start & Co who were professional, friendly and efficient throughout the whole process. Miles from Start & Co managed to keep everyone in our chain calm and informed during the Coronavirus pandemic lockdown period and helped us achieve an agreeable completion date once it was safe to do so. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

I recently used Start & Co to sell my property and I was so impressed with their efficiency and professionalism. They kept me informed of developments at every step of the way and managed the process through to completion, taking the stress away from me. As property transactions go, I think this was about as good as it gets! Thanks again to Bradley and all the team.
