TESTIMONIALS

Before, during and after our association with the rental agency we found the staff of Lanes to be very friendly and ever willing to assist with any queries we had. The services have also been very efficient and they were very professional at all times.

Finally, in conclusion I would like to say thank you to all the staff at Lanes for all your assistance and it has been a pleasure to rent a property via your agency. If ever we return to the United Kingdom we will definitely use the services of Lanes Rentals again.

Early last week while searching the web for a house to let, I found a possibility on your website. When I called there was a friendly efficient voice to answer my questions. That afternoon I viewed the property and the following day I confirmed that I would like to proceed as soon as possible. By Friday evening the contracts were signed and I moved in.

May I take this opportunity to thank Lanes. You have a fantastic group of staff who have always proved to be helpful, diligent and friendly. You have been a pleasure of an agency to rent from and I really do appreciate all the peace of mind you have given me over the past eight months and the amount of times your staff have gone out of their way to help me.

Telephone & Broadband

Due to unprecedented changes in Telecoms, many B.T. lines have been changed to other providers e.g. Talk Talk, Virgin, Orange etc. and consequently there MAY be charges of over £100 to switch over to another provider or re-connect to B.T.
