Kirkby Diamond's advise on our lease extension was first class. They were prompt to inspect and whilst their report was very clear, they kindly took the time to explain it to us as well. When negotiations started they advised us of their strategy and kept us up to date with progress. The end result was a premium significantly lower than the estimation provided by the landlord. We appreciate the high level of service provided and would recommend them.
