Atomic – 6-Star Review.

Deciding to sell your company after you have fully immersed yourself in it for the last 28 years is a massive decision.

One that is so emotionally tied the brand you have created, your colleagues, friends and business partners, that at times it can be completely overwhelming.

When you do finally make the decision, you are immediately faced with another incredibly important one: Who is the best company to act for business? It was critical for us to use a company that had: An impressive track record in agreeing many successful deals, coupled with great knowledge and a detailed understanding of the industry landscape.

This had to run alongside a real drive and enthusiasm that would endure through the whole process while maintaining a focus on all the details.

Well, Lucy, Laura and Samantha at Atomic Consultancy have been truly incredible from start to finish. Their knowledge, drive, enthusiasm, work rate has exceeded our expectation and delivered a result that we are over the moon with. We would recommend Atomic Consultancy without hesitation to anyone considering this very important decision. You really have all been Amazing!!!

“From the moment we engaged with Lucy, Laura and the Atomic team, it was clear we were in expert hands. Their understanding of the intricacies involved in selling a business, from the technical hurdles to the emotional aspects, was evident in every conversation. Lucy’s advice was spot-on, not just around navigating the formal processes but also in managing the stresses that naturally come with selling. The deal they structured was balanced, ensuring it worked for us as sellers, while also considering our team and the future of the business. What stood out most was Lucy’s unwavering support—she was always there to keep us motivated, guide us through difficult decisions, and provide encouragement when we needed it most. For anyone thinking about selling, I wholeheartedly recommend Lucy and Atomic. They bring deep industry knowledge, discretion, and, most importantly, a personal touch to the process.”

JENNY CLARK

“Lucy and team have been extremely professional throughout process and delivered exactly what they said. Communication was always spot on and have no doubt I made correct decision using Atomic.”

JEREMY BROWN

Xact Lettings


“To say that my broker went beyond expectations in relation to the sale of my lettings business is a complete understatement! I stupidly selected a competitor of Atomic who found me a purchaser and left me alone to deal with a buyer who subsequently withdrew. I was reassured by Lucy and her team that a new buyer would be found and they did this within a month and they helped keep the deal together and were there to hold my hand and guide me through to a successful completion. Their attention to me and their diligence throughout was superb. Atomic are a great team and I highly recommend them.”

MARC RICHARDS

Kordtards Ltd T/A Gibbins Richards Lettings


“Lucy and Laura have taken on a significant challenge in a niche male dominated business environment they have tuned into the personal side of business disposal in the agency sector making a thoroughly professional job of supporting and promoting the businesses going through this transition. Enthusiasm and energy go a long way in this but would be useless without empathy and understanding, detailed knowledge of the sector and a commitment to first class support and communication A clear and fair pricing structure and fact-based valuation service make the firm an easy choice in this market”.

ANDY NEAL

Andrew & Co

“Atomic really are the “bomb” when it comes to selling (or buying) estate agency business’ The wealth of experience is invaluable, the depth of knowledge essential, the “can do” approach infectious. It seems they have the whole industry at there fingertips and use these contacts to secure you the best buyer in a short period of time. Then the contact actually steps up as they progress things to a conclusion dealing with any issues as they arise. This is a truly great company led by the brilliant Lucy Noonan. I challenge you to find a better company to manage you sale or purchase.”

ROB & REKHA MAMUDA

Alexander May

“I reached out to Lucy and I knew straight away I wanted to work with her. She was exactly my kind of person; straight, direct, informative. I instructed her the very same day. Atomic guided us, educated not only me but the solicitors that we’d instructed, they checked every finite detail and added more besides. I felt protected and that the whole process was efficient and robust”.

CLAYTON SHIPTON

“I couldn’t have done this without Lucy and Laura at Atomic Consultancy. Their attention to detail, hard work and dedication to the sale of our lettings book has been second to none. I would highly recommend Atomic for anyone looking to sell their sales or lettings business”.

MARK WILLIAMSON

Williamsons Estate Agents

“Nothing was too much trouble for Atomic Consultancy. From my first meeting with Lucy, and then Laura and the rest of the team, I felt like I was in safe hands. Their expertise, professionalism and enthusiasm from the day of listing my business with them, to the day it completed, never wavered. Their support was never ending. I have no hesitation in recommending Atomic.”

JOANNA SWAIN

The Property Outlet

“Atomic advised us on our first acquisition. They were fantastic from start to finish in every aspect of the transaction. I cannot recommend Laura highly enough. We will be using them on our next acquisition.”

MATTHEW LAMB

Whitaker Cadre

“I can not rate Lucy, Laura and the team at Atomic Consultancy highly enough, their expertise, professionalism and passion for what they do shows up in every action they take. Getting the initial valuation was very straightforward, followed by them getting several interested agencies from their marketing, 4 offers, one being over asking price. The sale was far from straightforward and it is fair to say Lucy and Laura went far above and beyond to get the deal over the line. It was an amazing experience that I couldn’t not have done on my own, and their fee was worth every penny!”

HANNAH MCCARTAN

McCartan Lettings

“If you are thinking of selling your estate agency then look no further. From start to finish I found the service offered by Atomic to be excellent. From the initial valuation right through to completion the sale was carefully handled and I had complete confidence in Laura and Lucy. A huge thank you to Atomic for making it happen.”

ROB HAYDOCK

“I want to say a massive “thank you” to Lucy and her team at Atomic Consultancy, for the hours of support and advice given across many weekends and late evenings. I genuinely don’t know where I’d be without them – whether the sale would have even gone through and whether I’d have got half the value I did for it”.

JODIE PAGET

“Phenomenal talent and work ethic, we would have never grown at the rate we did without Lucy. Understanding and supporting sellers and managing all workstreams allowed us to grow at the rate we did”.
