I met with a number of agents in Witney, and Thomas Merrifield gave the most realistic evaluation (evaluations from other agents were much higher, unrealistically so). My main contact, Philip, was professional and someone you could trust to negotiate on your behalf. Philip helpfully gave time to come to the house act as a witness to the signing of contract of sale (twice) as we couldn't get another witness due to Covid-19.

You are often cut out of communications between agent and conveyancer. However, this seems to be the case with most agents. It would be useful if there was an account you could sign in to and check what has been happening.
