Property information from this agent

Places of interest

    Unsurpassed local area knowledge is a significant attribute of the directors and staff of H Tiddy. They have a combined total of around 121 years experience of estate agency, plus further broad relevant experience in other areas. All this, plus living and working locally, makes us uniquely and comprehensively qualified. Three of the staff were born locally. It is as much the area as a property that buyers are seeking, and the paramount location and facilities knowledge of H Tiddy in this respect can bring the benefit of clinching an otherwise doubtful sale. Over our many years of operation we have sold every conceivable type of property in every market condition.
