23rd Jan 2026 (7 weeks ago)Viewing went well aaron was very helpful
24th Dec 2025 (11 weeks ago)We recently used Robinsons in Durham for sale of our old house and they were the agent for purchase of the new one. Communication was good throughout from Ann, Stacey, Keighley and Emily, while Keith was very knowledgeable valuing the house. Nothing was an issue throughout and would highly recommend.
2nd Mar 2019 (7 years ago)We are student at Durham University and we decided to rent a house. I called the estate agent and they agreed to send us the agreement and everything to rent this one house that we really liked. We were supposed to arrive a week later to submit the forms and pay deposit. When I got the papers, they confirmed with us that the house would be definitely be reserved for us. However, the morning we were supposed to hand in the papers, I got a short, badly articulated email saying that the property was no longer available and that we should look somewhere else. No explanation, nothing. We were angry because student accommodation is competitive and we lost so much time waiting for this house. Upon emailing them multiple times, they finally said that the previous tenants decided to stay for another year. Didn’t they confirm with the current tenants that they would be moving out? Why would they even list the house if that was an option? .Why send us the agreements and everything? They didn’t even bother trying to find us other options that we could stay at instead. All and all, I would never use this agent again because their service is absolutely terrible
8th Mar 2026 (3 days ago)Great experience very responsive
17th Dec 2024 (1 year ago)We were assisted by Caroline Ryan, who proved to be exceptionally efficient and helpful. She responded promptly to my inquiries and made a significant effort to ensure that the process ran smoothly. I am very pleased with the overall experience at Dowen, particularly with Caroline's assistance. It was an outstanding experience.

24th Feb 2026 (15 days ago)I can’t recommend Michaal Hodgson highly enough! The service was amazing from start to finish. Selling my house was such a smooth and stress-free experience, thanks to their professionalism and incredible support. They kept everything moving in a timely manner and made me feel valued and informed every step of the way. The team were friendly, attentive, and genuinely went above and beyond. If you’re looking for an estate agent that delivers outstanding results and service, this is the one. Absolutely brilliant!
22nd Jun 2025 (8 mo. ago)Excellent service, and local knowledge. First class
18th May 2023 (2 years ago)Huge thank you to Jeanette snd Mary who helped with the purchase of our new home. It was quite stressful for us at times and we had a few (a lot!) bumps in the road. We were very dependent on the team especially towards the end of the buying process for many reasons. I truly believe without their help on an almost daily basis we would still be waiting for the sale to have been finalised. We are now 4 weeks in our new home and are so happy. The stress long forgotten. The team are Very professional, very “on it” and also want to do the best for the buyer. Thank you all.
3rd Nov 2025 (18 weeks ago)We’ve used Sanderson Young to provide tenant find and marketing services for our rental property for over 10 years and we’ve found them to be fantastic. Gail McLean has always been our contact there, and she is wonderful; approachable, knowledgeable and professional. Gail and the Sanderson Young team have ensured that our property has been let quickly and to high quality tenants every time. Highly recommend (thanks Gail!)
13th Feb 2026 (26 days ago)We had quite a stressful start to our selling our property but Gordon Brown were very good keeping us updated and chasing things. For the amount of times we were emailing and ringing they were extremely patient and was a pleasure dealing with the whole team.
10th Nov 2025 (17 weeks ago)They dont give a shit once you signed tenancy agreement been waiting over 6 months for repairs absolute disgrace company
4th Mar 2026 (7 days ago)Carrie, Gavin and Stacy were really excellent with all the assistance and support throughout the process, making the renting of our properties completely stress free. They were prompt with all request and questions raised. We would highly recommend Bridgfords.
13th Feb 2026 (26 days ago)Thank you to both Neil and Andrew for being so helpful, friendly and knowledgeable whilst booking and viewing properties
24th Feb 2026 (15 days ago)Tom and Helen helped me find my first flat and they were very supportive throughout the whole process and continued to be so during my tenancy. Any issues that cropped up were dealt with quickly and professionally and they made the experience of having my first home so easy and enjoyable :)
18th Feb 2026 (21 days ago)Tom was absolutely brilliant!
15th Jan 2026 (8 weeks ago)Ben Charles have managed my rental property for over a year. They have been great at finding tenants and communicating with both parties during the tenancy. Would highly recommend.
24th Feb 2026 (15 days ago)Todd, Connor and the Venture team could not have been better. They were honest and up front the whole time, managing our expectations honestly and everything ran like clockwork. I couldn’t believe how fast everything ran from valuation to listing. In the end they got us an offer within a week. 10/10 will recommend to everyone!
27th Dec 2025 (11 weeks ago)Never sold the house, communication poor. Not sure why you think the house was sold through them, we left it the 8 weeks as promised and will be going elsewhere in Jan.
22nd Jan 2026 (7 weeks ago)Application submitted following many phone calls issued to partner encouraging us to apply, application took time as we both work full time and commute. Once this was submitted, a pre tenancy agreement was released to us, alongside a request to secure application with weekly amount of rent (at risk of never seeing this money again) without landlord approval. We were advised the landlord would consider pets, however, kept us in limbo whilst others attended the property to view - landlord was holding out for an application without pets! Treated second best, will not consider this service in future.
15th Jul 2025 (7 mo. ago)Overpromised, Underperformed and Untrustworthy – My Costly Mistake with HSD I initially listed my property with PurpleBricks in March 2025 for £535,000. After limited viewings over a three-month period, I began exploring other options and submitted an enquiry to WeBuyAnyHouse. They quickly came back with an offer of £460,000—roughly 14% below asking—claiming it would allow for a quick sale. I immediately declined, as I was not in a rush and didn’t want to take such a significant loss. Shortly after, my details were apparently passed on to House Sales Direct (HSD), seemingly a sister company, without my explicit consent. HSD came across as professional and engaging at first. They promised a 98% success rate in selling properties within 28 days, citing a strong network of pre-approved buyers and investors who could complete within 6–8 weeks. They suggested a sale price spread of £510k–£535k, assuring me they would work to get me the best price possible. It sounded promising. Based on these assurances, I decided to proceed with HSD. I withdrew my PurpleBricks listing—costing me £300—with the understanding that HSD’s investor network would accelerate the sale. But things quickly began to unravel. Despite supposedly having investors lined up, HSD said they needed to relist my property on Rightmove first. When I questioned why investors couldn’t simply view the home, the response was vague. It took nearly two weeks for them to relist, and the new asking price was £525,000. A full week passed without any communication. Then came a call recommending the price be dropped to £499,000. I was told this was “just a marketing tactic,” and that they still aimed to get me a sale within the original £510k–£535k range. But I struggled to understand how listing a property nearly £40,000 lower would achieve that. I asked again about the investors. They finally admitted the only offer received was the same £460k I'd declined weeks earlier through WeBuyAnyHouse. This was when the red flags really began to show. Why wasn’t I told this upfront? Why present an optimistic price range if their investor offer was fixed at £460k from the beginning? Why was I encouraged to pull the property from PurpleBricks if they intended to rely on the open market anyway? I could have just reduced the price there and avoided unnecessary costs and delays. Doing more research online, I found stories from others with eerily similar experiences. It appeared HSD’s real model was to attract sellers with high expectations and then drop the price, relying on open-market tactics to force a quick sale. Despite claiming not to charge commission, they would never clearly explain how they made their money. It seems they may be negotiating higher prices with buyers while offering sellers less—profiting off the gap. No transparency, no trust. Meanwhile, they knew I was paying a high mortgage on an empty property. It became clear they were hoping I’d become desperate enough to accept the same low £460k offer I had already rejected twice. In the four weeks my property was listed with them, only four viewings were arranged. Two were no-shows. Of the remaining two, one viewer stayed for just five minutes—asked no questions and didn’t even view all the rooms. It felt performative, not serious. As expected, neither viewer submitted an offer, despite supposedly being “pre-qualified and keen.” Eventually, I told HSD I wanted to withdraw the property. That’s when I was informed—shockingly—that I had unknowingly signed up for a 52-week contract, and I’d need to pay £1,500 to exit, or £999 if paid within 7 days. I wrote to them, acknowledged that they had done some work, and offered a reasonable £699 exit fee, explaining I needed to rent the home out due to financial strain. They refused and insisted on full payment. I paid the £999 immediately—but it still took a full week and several chasers before they finally removed the property from Rightmove. By the end of the ordeal, it was clear I was no longer a priority for them. In summary: Do I regret choosing HSD? Absolutely. Would I recommend them to someone looking for a fair, transparent, and professional house sale experience? No. If your only goal is to sell quickly and you don’t care about value, they might work for you. But if you want to sell your home at a decent price with a partner you can trust, I strongly advise staying away from HSD.
24th Feb 2026 (15 days ago)Janine managed the sale of my late fathers house.<br>Friendly, local and contactable, I cannot fault the service as she literally handled everything from start to finish, including recommendations for solicitors to organising the relevant surveys/certifications and inspections.<br>Thank you Janine !!<br>Highly recommended.
19th Feb 2026 (20 days ago)Greetham Gilbert has been outstanding in dealing with all the issues concerning the flat I am currently renting. While they are, of course, running a business, they always take tenants’ needs into consideration and consistently demonstrate friendliness, professionalism, and understanding. Over the past eight years, several estate agents have managed the flat where I live, and Greetham Gilbert has been by far the best. I truly appreciate their efficiency, clear communication, and supportive approach.
15th Jan 2026 (8 weeks ago)I have recently had cause to deal with Elite Estates and Lettings. Have dealt with other similar agents in the recent past, Elite have provided excellent service. At all times the staff were professional, friendly and helpful. It has been a pleasure to use their services and I wish them well for the future.
17th Nov 2025 (16 weeks ago)The support from Grant was amazing! His timely advise and pro-active approach made every step of the journey worth it all. Keep up the good work.
Symonds Taylor - Newcastle upon Tyne
101 St. Georges Terrace, Jesmond, Newcastle Upon Tyne, NE2 2DN(62 reviews)
20th Feb 2026 (19 days ago)Great personal and efficient Estate Agents. We had great service from Symonds-Taylor. We had tried to sell our period home a few years ago, but despite Rob Symonds' best efforts at that time getting prospective buyers through and enthusing them about our home we were let down by a couple of dubious surveyors being unfairly negative about the house. After a few years renting it out, we went to sell again. Selling a home is always stressful but we felt we would be in good hands from our previous experience, and we were not wrong. Claire and Rob provided an efficient, pleasant and 'personal' advice and service throughout, and steered the sale through with little fuss. Thank you!!
