As a buyer of a property through Symonds Taylor (was still Rettie at the time) the team were courteous and easy to deal with. They had a reputation for fair pricing, which is how my purchase played out. All in all good experience (albeit limited from buyer's side).... Read more

5/5 Stars
This is the second time we've sold with Rob and the team at Symonds Taylor (the first was when they were known as Rettie). We've always received a flawless service and felt at ease that we were in safe and experienced hands. Rob was quick at responding to all of our questions and was always available to reassure and guide us. Our recent move was unexpectedly complicated and without Robs proactive approach to keeping all parties up to date and moving things along I'm sure it would have fallen apart. We're not planning on moving again but if we were I wouldn't hesitate to use Symonds Taylor.... Read more

We had lived in our family home for more than 30 years, so we wanted an agency which would be sympathetic to our more traditional views. Rob and the team at Rettie delivered on all fronts. The photos were great and the sales ‘package’ quickly agreed and implemented. Viewings were carried out by Rettie and we were given feedback promptly. Once the offer was received we were given regular updates on progress right up to completion. We were delighted by the professionalism shown by everyone at Rettie and we happily recommend them to any potential vendor.... Read more

Awful disrespectful estate agents. We were in a bidding war with another buyer. They didn’t communicate with us for 7 DAYS that the seller had accepted the other offer. No update. A Week later they call telling us their buyer had dropped out. The sole reason we weren’t interested is because of this company handling it. Sausages... Read more

Rettie Newcastle went above and beyond in our new home search. Having had a very stressful and bad experience over a 13 month period with 3 house purchases falling through at the very last minute, all with a different estate agent, the team at Rettie Newcastle quickly drew up a list of potential houses and arranged viewings for us before properties even hit the market. Nothing ever appeared to be to much trouble and I truly felt like they wanted to help us as much as possible in our search, they were as excited as we were and understood our hesitation from our past experience. Communication was always good, and we are now settled into our new home. A big thanks to Rob, Mary and Emma. Ben and Georgie... Read more

Bought our new home recently through Rettie. Mary and Emma were excellent throughout. In particular, Mary made the experience of the purchasing process less stressful compared to some of the other estate agents. She really knows the property market and has great personal skills. Rettie/Mary carried out targeted canvassing in the area we were looking for , progressed the sale with solicitors and were always fast to respond to all communication. Well done Mary and Rettie in general for remembering how stressful house purchasing can be for buyer/seller, truly they are the benchmark on how estate agents should operate.... Read more

I would thoroughly recommend Rettie Newcastle, Rob was very helpful and professional helping us to market our house and secure our new home. Mary and Emma were incredibly helpful throughout the selling and buying process - they were always on top of the details and super quick to answer the phone and to deal with any problems or hold ups, indeed often going above and beyond what would be expected to help out. I’m sure that the whole buying and selling process would have been a lot slower and more stressful without their support.... Read more

I knew from the moment I saw the home online that I wanted it, and it was a pleasure to work with Mary and Emma throughout - I'm sure they probably got sick of answering my (many!) questions, but for a first time buyer I needed the reassurance, which they happily gave me. Thank you so much!... Read more

When we decided to sell our house, we contacted a few estate agents, but were really impressed with the straightforward, friendly and professional approach from Rettie. They did a fantastic job of marketing our house (including fab photos) and both sold our home and found us a new one in record time. They are incredibly helpful, always available when you need them and steered us through to completion without a hitch. If we move again, we’ll definitely use Rettie and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others thinking of moving house.... Read more

Retties are absolutely amazing! A brilliant team of Rob, Mary and Emma. From our first meeting with Rob to discuss selling and marketing our mother's house to the completion of the sale; they have been so professional and knowlegable in their approach yet at the same time, they are so friendly, supportive and helpful. They respond quickly to emails and calls and no question is too trival. They really took all the stress out of the process for us and managed our short chain of buyers and sellers very effectively. Retties do go the extra mile for their clients and are there for you every step of the way. I can't recommend them highly enough. If you want a very personal service that gets the job done rather being just another client with an estate agent then Retties are for you!... Read more

Rettie are amazing! We got several quotes from other estate agents and choose Rettie because of their faultless customer service and professionalism. All of the staff we dealt with were superb from Rob with our initial meetings and viewing and Mary and the team for helping us through a process that was new to us and always replying to emails and answering the phone for even the smallest of questions. On top of that they are also amazing at what they do- they sold our property for over asking price, before it even went online! If we ever sell a property again we will definitely use these guys - we can not thank them enough!... Read more

I sold my flat with Rettie at asking price less than 48 hours after it went on the market. They were a breath of fresh air versus other estate agents I spoke to - did not pressure, gave a valuation that was fair and did not guarantee a very quick sale for them. The team were all honest and transparent which I appreciated greatly. They stayed in touch, were friendly and approachable and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.... Read more
