I viewed a flat in Hexham that was for sale via Pattinsons auction.
The purchase of the flat was very smooth and easy.
Everyone I met there was friendly and helpful.
The flat was then marketed for rental and a suitable tenant was found within a week.

The process of purchasing a house at auction was made straightforward and clear with the guidance of Jessica at Pattinsons (Hexham branch). She was quick and efficient when responding to queries as well as friendly and polite at every step of the journey.... Read more

Excellent service from extremely helpful staff whilst purchasing my new property. They battled on manfully with the particularly slow vendor.
I would use their services again.
Thank you Lucy and the team.... Read more

My experience as a buyer through Pattinsons has been very poor. After showing an interest in bidding on an auction property I was relentlessly phoned, texted and emailed every day, and sometimes multiple times per day. This was despite explaining to each caller that I have a solicitor who is advising me, and that, all being well with the property, I will bid before the end of the auction. Eventually, I had to be very stern and respond not to contact me again or I will not bid. Although the staff calling were friendly and polite it was too much hard sell, and too intrusive when I was trying to do other things and expecting other calls.
This wasn't just a problem with Pattinsons Hexham. I'd also viewed two properties on the coast through a different office, and was constantly called by them too, even after I repeatedly said I'd purchased a property in Hexham!
Although I did buy the property, I felt the auction fees were too expensive for a low priced property, and I had to reduce my bid to accommodate it. It would be better to have a percentage system. I was also forced to pay for the searches by the vendor's solicitor, which were not complete and my own solicitor had to do the work as well. The vendor's solicitor then also tried to make me pay £500 towards the vendor's legal costs, as well as my own, which my solicitor took up with Pattinsons auction house as there was no mention of this in the auction pack.
Four weeks after getting the keys to the property, the Pattinsons sold board has not yet been removed.
My experience with Pattinsons hasn't been good, and I consider the company to have 'fly by night' practices. For improvement: 1. Only make contact in response to the buyer's calls or if new, important information arises about the property. 2. Make sure the legal pack contains all of the information needed. 3. Don't expect the buyer to pay any of the vendor's legal fees. 4. Change the auction fees to a percentage system rather than a minimum charge. 5. Arranged to have the for sale/sold board carefully removed on the day the auction closes.
Following my experience, I won't use Pattinsons again or recommend to anyone else.... Read more

The team at Hexham have been great especially Lucy. She has been excellent, reliable and focused on our sale, very hardworking and always conscientious, notifying of timescales plus a strong determination to reach the final completion of the sale (of which have to say has not been the easiest!), but she has complete the task for us and with a great sense of humour thrown in, which always helps....

Been house hunting for a while. Genuinely shocked how often I've tried and failed to view some Hexham properties. Agents just not returning calls. Emails just never being answered. I've watched some properties go down and down in price while thinking...I'd put in a bid if only you'd let me go and see it. The poor vendors! I had one absolutely bizarre experience with a well-known Hexham agent. I just don't understand the trade and why, when you're dealing with hundreds of thousands of pounds - you're not treating every call/email as a potential big money deal.
Anyway - five stars to Keith Pattinson. The only agent, so far, who has not only answered phones and got back to me in a timely manner - but has also even processed emails and offers outside of working hours. It's appreciated.... Read more

Just exchanged contracts on my house and collected the keys. Mark went out of his way several times to show us the property before the exchange. He has went above and beyond through the process, been super helpful and has great knowledge of the area. He is an asset to the company!! Thanks again.... Read more
