What Our Clients Say...

John Hickton, MD, Maximus

Having an agent who understands the local business community, and particularly the local office market, has paid dividends, as without GJS Dillon so many local companies would not have taken space on Wildwood. Similarly, when it comes to management a local agent is advantageous because issues can be dealt with quickly and efficiently.

Frankie Tsang, Lyppard Grange Properties Ltd

The private property market within the Worcestershire area offers extensive opportunities for investors like myself. GJS Dillon’s Property Asset Management services have helped me to ensure that I gain maximum value from my investments and I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Gary Taylor, Altitude Real Estate Ltd

With their outstanding local knowledge and unrivalled research data of the property market, GJS Dillon and their Asset Management team have proved an invaluable resource when it comes to property investment.
