We are indeed very grateful to them
We had a small farm to sell with more than one dwelling and requiring division of the land between the dwellings. This meant new boundaries,… the need for detailed plans, reorganisation of services and new planning permissions. Lambert & Foster’s experience of agricultural holdings, technical skills in their drawing office and ability to handle planning applications were all essential for the successful sale of all of the lots. Just as important, they had the enthusiasm and tenacity to cope with problems that inevitably arose along the way. We are indeed very grateful to them. Read more “We are indeed very grateful to them”
