Testimonials

“Samantha Scott-White was recommended to us by a friend and previous client of hers, and we have been delighted with the service she provides. We would strongly commend her to anyone seeking to buy a home in the Cotswolds and adjacent areas. She has a wealth of knowledge of the area and of the relevant local professional expertise such as solicitors, surveyors and tradespeople. This support was invaluable to us as expat buyers based in Australia. We found Samantha’s professionalism and advice throughout to be exceptional – not only is she highly responsive (even when on holiday) but proactively provided assistance throughout the whole process – and afterwards- to a degree well over and above what we could reasonably have expected. She found us a beautiful home in a gorgeous village and we simply could not have done it without her.”

Mr & Mrs B

“It was a pleasure to work with Sam from start to finish. As an international buyer who was unfamiliar with the many factors to be considered in finding the right Cotswolds property to suit my needs, Sam’s vast knowledge of the market was invaluable. After looking at dozens of properties both online and in person, she helped me find and acquire the perfect home. Sam then guided me through the process of completing the inspections and negotiating the purchase contract. She handled every detail of the transaction for me with great professionalism. There is no way this result could have been obtained without her advice and counsel. I recommend Sam without hesitation.”

Mr John H

“We would thoroughly recommend Sam to any prospective buyers in the Cotswolds. Her extensive knowledge of the area, properties, estate agents, local tradespeople and solicitors is second to none. We began searching months ago but it soon became clear that we needed expert help given the current market conditions. Sam took the time to really understand what we were looking for and carefully selected properties that met our brief. Her local knowledge and contacts was invaluable in showing us properties before being marketed and as a result we were able to find ‘the one’ for us. We honestly don’t believe we would be in the fortunate position of securing our new home without Sam’s assistance. While there is a fee involved, in our minds it more than paid for itself. Sam’s support doesn’t stop at agreeing the sale – she assists throughout the whole sale process ensuring it goes smoothly. We can’t recommend Sam highly enough.”

“Having looked around for a few months ourselves we finally made the decision to get in touch with Sam and ask her to assist with our property search. From the initial consultation we knew we’d made the right decision. Sam provided us with a truly bespoke and enjoyable experience (even during lockdown!), she found and secured us our dream property before it even came onto the market. Sam then closely helped us navigate through the sale which could not have run smoother. Thanks again Sam, we are looking forward to many years of happiness in our new home.”

Mr R Kent

“We would not be where we are today without Sam. She managed to find us a total treasure of a house before it even came on to the open market and it fitted our brief perfectly. Sam helped to guide us through a very tricky and drawn out process – her experience and level headed nature were invaluable to us and I truly believe we could not have done it without her. She was also so helpful with knowledge of the market, local area and other useful contacts. We are so happy that we managed to find such a wonderful house in such a lovely location and are hugely grateful to Sam for all her help.”

Mr and Mrs P

“Having now successfully purchased a property in the Cotswolds I can tell you from experience, do not embark upon the process without using Sam. Without Sam’s knowledge of the market, and long standing relationship with estate agents, we simply would not have had the opportunity to own the property we now call home. Sam was always on hand to guide us with her impartial advice, and translate our brief into viewings in locations that met our needs. Save yourself time, endless web browsing, money and unnecessary hassle by asking Sam to guide you through your property search. Believe me, it will be one of the best decisions you will make.”

Mr G and Miss W

“I was initially in two minds whether to employ Sam’s services as I guessed my budget was much lower than a lot of her other clients, however as this was the first house I had purchased on my own I felt that I needed some support. From the moment I met Sam I knew she was the right person to help me through this process. She presented several houses to me, some already on the market and some which hadn’t yet come to market and even carried out a few visits on her own when I was unable to attend. My brief changed along the way as my circumstances changed, and she kept abreast of all my changes. I honestly don’t know how I would have got through this without her. There were a few tricky moments with survey results and a less than helpful solicitor, however I moved into my new house just over 9 weeks after the initial viewing and I truly couldn’t see me managing this on my own. A true professional, with an invaluable knowledge of the market, the area and other businesses involved in the buying process. If and when I move again, I will most definitely call on Sam once more.”

Mrs R

“We are so pleased we asked Sam to help us with our purchase of a cottage. She first took the time to really understand what we were looking for and and her local knowledge was invaluable in identifying suitable locations. She then saved us lots of time and trouble by visiting lots of properties so we only needed to visit realistic prospects. Once we found the right cottage, she negotiated with the vendor’s agent to make sure our offer was successful and then she made sure the purchase went smoothly keeping in constant touch with all parties to ensure there were no problems along the way. Now we have the cottage, she’s been really helpful introducing us to lots of people as we fit out our new home. We are quite sure we would still be looking and getting increasingly frustrated without Sam’s help. We would unhesitatingly recommend her to anyone.”

Mrs H

“The way Sam approached the question of our sale in Monmouthshire and our purchase here in Oxfordshire was excellent and we were particularly impressed that she made the journey to Monmouthshire in order to see what sort of home we were likely to be looking for. Also without her help in pressing our selling agents we doubt whether the sale and purchase would have come off. Sam was very good at finding all possible properties for us to view and did not waste our time on those which would not suit and she was also very good at establishing potential pitfalls. Sam was always patient with us in an effort to achieve a good end result. We enjoyed our relationship with Sam during this process and are delighted that the contact continues.”

“Sam was quick to understand our demanding brief and made sure that we visited only the most suitable houses, saving us time and travel from our home overseas. We had prioritised a good location and with Sam’s help have found a charming house in a secluded part of the Cotswolds. Sam’s help did not end with the negotiations but extended to ensuring that there were no lurking problems with past planning consents and to coordinating the different parties towards a rapid exchange of contracts. At completion, she was of considerable help, collecting keys and checking that the sellers had left the house in good order. We have benefited from her initiative in introducing relevant professionals and local tradesmen who have made our move into the area much smoother than we had hoped.”
