23rd Jan 2026 (21 weeks ago)Viewing went well aaron was very helpful
18th Apr 2026 (9 weeks ago)Just sold our house with Robinsons & it was amazing from start to finish. Keith was extremely helpful on the initial valuation in the office I delt with Ann, Emily & Keighley and they were also great. I’d recommend after having a few valuations on my house I’d tell anyone in my area to use Robinsons. Thanks so much
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 (15 weeks 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.

5th Jun 2026 (13 days ago)We liased with Lynne for the purchase of our recent property. Really professional, helpful and friendly. No issues at all throughout the whole process with the estate agents. Appreciated the gift box on completion, thought it was a nice touch. Would recommend
17th Aug 2022 (3 years ago)Frustrating at times, but got the job done. Would use a local agent next time instead of international.
16th May 2026 (5 weeks ago)A lovely and friendly people could not have been more helpful though we live 200 miles away they kept us informed when needed to thanks for all you did for us..
14th May 2026 (5 weeks ago)I had a positive experience with the agency throughout my tenancy. Gail and Ryan were professional, helpful, and easy to communicate with. They carried out inspections efficiently, made it easy regarding the dates and times of inspections and kept me informed clearly throughout the process. Any queries were handled promptly, and the whole tenancy and move-out process was smooth. I’d happily recommend them.
11th Jun 2026 (7 days ago)Friendly, helpful staff.
27th May 2026 (22 days ago)Special thanks to Deborah Hodgson for her continued support throughout our purchase. Deb and the team have been superb, can't thanks them enough
29th May 2026 (20 days ago)Awful experience from day one. Lesley came to me with a tenant who moved in October 25. First off they allowed a tenant to move in with no months rent up front - never agreed with myself. 7 months later I am still a month behind on unpaid rent even though I have emailed Lesley directly every month chasing. Peter Clark received the keys back to the property on 15/05 and I’m still yet to receive the months rent I’m owed. To add to this there wasn’t a single month where the rent was paid on the date stated on the agreement and instead they allowed the tenant to pay them with cash each month.
29th May 2026 (20 days ago)It was an absolute pleasure to deal with Tom from start to finish. Very professional service while keeping everything straightforward and easy to understand. He was very responsive to messages and went the extra mile in some difficult situations during my move. I'd highly recommend using Newfield Estates. Thank you!
13th Jun 2026 (5 days ago)Acceptable experience

12th May 2026 (5 weeks ago)Friendly service and very professional. My enquiries were handled efficiently and with a friendly attitude.
15th Jul 2025 (11 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.
30th May 2026 (19 days ago)Property sold after 3 days of listing and completion took place around 1 month later. Can't complain - Divan & Jack were amazing and kept me reassured the whole time. I'll be bringing Let Property another one of my on the next tax year. Highly recomended.
6th Jun 2026 (12 days ago)Excellent and professional.
4th Jun 2026 (14 days ago)Daniel was very helpful and responded really quick with all our queries
29th May 2026 (20 days ago)Janet was professional, experienced and responsive in a timely manner with any questions or communication we had. We would recommend Janet to others, her experience and support was much appreciated.
24th Apr 2026 (8 weeks ago)Can’t praise this guys high enough. Firstly, they are extremely efficient, our property sold within days. Secondly, the guys are equally professional and very responsive on text and to calls. Thirdly, there was no hassle on our side they dealt with everything. I would highly recommend.

28th May 2026 (21 days ago)We had a good experience of buying through Symonds Taylor and in particular Claire who handled all the after-sales work. She went above and beyond the service we got from the estate agent who sold our house (Bailey & Co) so I would definitely choose them for my next house sale.
