As I was abroad during the whole process, I felt at first a bit worried, but thanks to Daniel, everything went smoothly. I appreciated his efficiency, thoroughness and professionalism in general. I would definitely use RWinvest again in the future, as everybody, from the sale department to client care has been great.

It was great pleasure dealing with RW Invest for my very first property investment in Liverpool. Jamie who is a member of their sales team equipped me with solid information that made me realise I was making the right decision after my own findings and verifications. Jamie and Claire were very professional throughout the purchase process and provided swift responses to my queries and concerns. Claire was very friendly and always in touch to ensure my contract exchange goes smoothly. Their professionalism made me to recommend the Poets Place development to a few colleagues who ended up purchasing a few apartments within the same block. Now I really look forward to my penthouse apartment completion in coming months and very hopeful it goes as smooth as the purchase process made easy by Jamie and Claire’s support.
