Shires is always a pleasure to deal with. Before I had even bought a house to rent out they gave me unlimited advise. Their communication is outstanding with e mails and phone calls. My house was rented out extremely quickly and everything was dealt with and any questions I had answered. Highly recommend them.

We have just sold and completed with Shires Mildenhall. It was a long and drawn out sale with unexpected complications but every step of the way the whole team were so supportive and really went the extra mile for us for which we are so grateful. So without any doubt they come highly recommended by us

Ms. Callie Butcher is our agent for the property we are renting in Mildenhall. They have been so patient and professional with us, despite us being very new here and still trying to find our footing. Whenever I had a question, they responded with professionalism and promptness. We are confident we are in good hands with them. Thank you Shires!

The team at Shires Residential delivered a best in class, personable service during our recent purchase with them. Each and every contact with them was professional, with that all important human touch. I would highly recommend their services.

George is the best, looked at over a dozen houses with him and I have nothing but great things to say about him. He was always responsive, professional, honest, and punctual. Can't speak to letting with shires, as we fell in love with a house listed by another agency, but if Shires is operated by others like George than I am sure it would be phenomenal. I would highly recommend Shires/George to anyone new coming to the area to aide in the letting search.
