"Nicola Acklam & Kerry Ghela exceeded all of our expectations with our first home purchase. They kept us constantly up to date - we never had to chase or felt like we were out of the loop which was amazing. They made such a complicated process feel so effortless due to their kind and friendly nature, they honestly could not do enough for you. Me and my girlfriend are chuffed with how speedy the transaction was as we initially thought it would take way longer! Thank you both so much, you are both an asset to the firm and I would not hesitate using Nicola & Kerry for any future property transactions."

Mr I, Essex
"As a first-time buyer, I was recommended Pinney Talfourd by my mortgage advisor and was soon introduced to Nicola Acklam.
From the very first conversation, Nicola made what could have been an overwhelming and daunting experience feel completely manageable. Buying my first home was a huge milestone for me, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide me through it.
Nicola’s dedication, attention to detail and genuine care shone through at every step. She always took the time to explain things clearly, no matter how small my query, and I was amazed at how quickly and thoughtfully she responded to every question. I felt listened to, reassured, and above all, supported.
What stood out most was not just Nicola’s professionalism, but her warmth and kindness. She made me feel that I wasn’t just another client, but someone whose journey really mattered. I can honestly say she turned what I feared would be a stressful process into a positive and even exciting experience.
I also want to thank her assistant, Kerry, who was a fantastic support throughout.
Nicola, I am so grateful to you for helping me achieve this milestone in my life — I will never forget the part you played in making it possible."
Mr E, Essex
