23rd Jan 2026 (14 weeks ago)Viewing went well aaron was very helpful
18th Apr 2026 (11 days 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 (7 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.

17th Apr 2026 (12 days ago)We purchased our property from Michael Hodgson and we cannot recommend them enough. Lynne Green, who supported us with our purchase, is an absolute asset to them. Her communication, professionalism, patience and persistence were greatly appreciated by us as buyers. She is simply amazing! We cannot express our gratitude enough for helping us find and secure our dream home. Thank you!
17th Aug 2022 (3 years ago)Frustrating at times, but got the job done. Would use a local agent next time instead of international.
3rd Nov 2025 (25 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!)

2nd Apr 2026 (27 days ago)An excellent, local service. From the valuation through to the final sale Tom was helpful, available and kept us well informed. A recommended choice with very helpful local knowledge.- 29th Nov 2024 (1 year ago)AJP’s professional staff have always been extremely helpful and responsive when finding tenants.

24th Apr 2026 (5 days ago)Professional, knowledgeable and trustworthy team. The team at Venture Durham delivered a first class service for us.
27th Dec 2025 (18 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.
3rd Mar 2026 (8 weeks ago)I could not fault the experience of working with Evenmore Properties for the sale of the house. From initial contact to completion, all aspects of communication were excellent. Having access to the various online resources that are required for the duration of the sale meant I was always able to keep track of the process without having to contact them for updates. If you are looking to sell a property I would recommend them without hesitation.
15th Jul 2025 (9 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 (9 weeks 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.
14th Apr 2026 (15 days ago)Daniel did a great job is finding and showing me a home and being so helpful during the whole process and made it simple ??????
7th Mar 2026 (8 weeks ago)Elite contacted us to help us retrieve a spare set of house keys that had been held by a different estate agent for a year after the sale completed. Really amazing customer service!
1st Apr 2026 (28 days ago)Moov’d recently sold our apartment for us and we couldn’t believe how easy and stress free the whole process was. This was because from the initial inquiry to the final phone call informing us that the sale money was heading to our bank account, everything was handled by Grant and his team. Initially Grant visited us to take photos of the apartment, we agreed a sale price, he then produced the description of our apartment for the advertisement, arranged viewings and gave us feedback from prospective buyers and then when the sale was agreed we filled in a few forms and the money was in our bank! It was a pleasure to work with Grant and his team and we would highly recommend Moov’d to anyone wanting to sell their property. Thanks to all.
