Details

Location

Penryn is an historic port on the south coast of Cornwall, chartered in 1236. During the 19th Century, the town was known for the export of granite, used in such buildings as the Bank of England and many of the country’s lighthouses. The town is home to Penryn Campus, a large university campus occupied by two institutions – Falmouth University and the University of Exeter. Over recent years the area has thrived, due to a significant increase in student population, in turn having a positive impact on local businesses. The scenic Helford River is a short drive away, with areas such as Falmouth, Truro and Helston in close proximity, making this attractive town a perfect place for those seeking a quieter lifestyle, while being conveniently close to the liveliness of larger towns. Penryn Methodist Church boasts a prime, landmark position within the middle of Penryn’s high street. Penryn train station is located approximately 0.5 miles away, which provides regular train services to Falmouth and Truro. There are direct and regular trains to and from London Paddington via Truro Station (journey time circa 4.5 hours). In addition, there are regular bus services running from Penryn town centre, servicing the local areas and wider Cornwall.

Esme dealt with our house purchase from start to finish & was absolutely brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble & she was always available & replied to emails immediately.

It was a pleasure dealing with the whole team at Laskowski & Co. From their local insight at instruction and right through the whole sales process, I would like to say how warm and professional everyone has been. They are clearly dedicated to delivering great customer service and they did just that. Totally recommend the Laskowski team to anyone.

Laskowski were great and helped us with our house sell and house buy! It went very smoothly and within 3 months! The whole team has been super helpful from valuing our house, to regular chats to discuss progress of the sale. James in particular was always quick to get back in touch and aid the buying of our new house!

James and the team at Laskowski & Co delivered a professional and personal service throughout our recent house sale. Always available to discuss questions and strategy, they gave sound advice based on extensive experience of the property market. James really went above and beyond organising last minute surveys and inspections for our buyer to ensure the chain (and sale) stayed on track. We have no hesitation in recommending them due to the excellent service they provided from valuation to completion.

Priscilla and the team at Laskowski were extremely helpful and proactive on all fronts, especially with communication – we have no doubt that this was one of the key factors in helping us to secure the purchase of our dream property, which seemed like a long shot when we first saw it advertised with Laskowski.

Dealing with Laskowski and Co was an absolute joy! Priscilla helped us incredibly, by honing our ideas to achieve the purchase of our very own fantasy cottage. From enquiring, to viewing with Richard and updates from Eden, the team delivered a warm, professional and reassuring service throughout. Priscilla was our main point of contact and nothing was ever too much trouble. We feel completely spoilt that our dream home has been made a reality and Laskowski & Co made that happen!

We mostly had dealings with Rory and Priscilla with the purchase of a property. There were absolutely amazing! Couldn’t fault the service we received! They went above and beyond to try and assist with a smooth transition. Fantastic communication and customer service. It was unfortunate that it wasn’t the quickest process, however that was due to the sale of our property, and if we could of used then to sell our previous home, we most definitely would have, as it may of helped to speed things up. I would happily recommended this team to anyone looking to sell or buy! Also noticed they’ve sold the property over the road from where we now are.

Very professional but with that all important personal touch – which was much needed in what turned out to be a sale in difficult circumstances. Fully recommend.
