Stuart Edwards Estate Agents - Claypath
1 & 2 Bluecoat Buildings, Claypath, Durham City, DH1 1RF

14th Oct 2025 (1 year ago)Tried selling a flat with them and it was a drawn out and painful process. It lasted more than a year before it fell through. Going with their contractors and solicitors was the biggest mistakes I made in the sale. I thought if I went with their recommendations, they will facilitate the process, but no. One was dishonest and the other one completely incompetent. Stuart Edward was initially responsive, but then when run into problems months down the line, Lindsey stopped answering calls and the boss Stuart did not call back when messages left. I was left on my own to deal with all the technicality and mess. It was so horrible and stressful, I do not wish it on anyone. Two stars was being very generous as they were ok initially. I went with them because I wanted to support family business. Never again.
15th Sep 2026 (7 weeks ago)No matter which member of staff you contact the service is consistently good. Communication is clear and follow-up on point. Staff maintain a friendly and relaxed manner and are professional at the same time as being well informed and on the ball.
22nd Sep 2026 (6 weeks ago)Dowens kept me fully informed on any interest in the sale of the house we were selling They gave me feedback after each viewing. And while l have never sold a house before they helped me through what could have been a stressful business- 9th Sep 2026 (8 weeks ago)Dowen are really easy to deal with - very helpful service

The whole selling process was handled brilliantly, leading to a fantastic outcome.<br><br>Huge thanks to the whole team for their hard work and brilliant service over the years!
28th Sep 2026 (5 weeks ago)They listed my4 bed detached dormer bungalow as a 4 bed detached HOME!!! SO I didn’t get any viewings for 10 week as google does not recognise home on any search engine it Could be found under properties but buyers only looking for bungalows could not find us!! I found out by distant friend trying to find bungalows online. They relaunched but missed summer buyers. Tied into 20week contract and cost me £354 to cancel -nightmare scenario for me.
20th Oct 2026 (13 days ago)Very good Service!! Stacey and Kelsey are amazing and so efficient!! Thanks again
27th Oct 2026 (6 days ago)It was brilliant we got through a very highly stressful and difficult court order sale and we all did it like a proper helpful community. Absolutely delighted and now on to the next sale with reeds rains.
29th May 2026 (22 weeks 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.
26th Oct 2024 (2 years ago)2 viewings one offer £40000 below asking price which was set by agent as realistic then they said it was probably too high. Also I take offence to their Facebook posts that state everything they touch turns to sold! When clearly it does not.
26th Oct 2026 (7 days ago)Excellent service from Langdales – highly recommended!<br><br>We cannot thank Langdales enough for all their help and support in selling our parents’ house. Selling a family home can be an emotional experience, but from start to finish, they made the whole process as smooth and stress-free as possible.<br><br>The team were absolutely fantastic throughout, always professional, friendly, approachable and helpful. Communication was excellent, and we were kept informed every step of the way. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and we always felt that we were in safe and capable hands.<br><br>What really stood out was their kindness, understanding and genuine care during what can be a difficult time for a family. Their hard work, dedication and professionalism made such a difference, and we are truly grateful for everything they did to help us through the sale.<br><br>We would highly recommend Langdales to anyone looking to sell their property. It is reassuring to find an estate agent who genuinely cares about their clients and goes the extra mile to deliver an excellent service.<br><br>Thank you, Langdales, for everything you have done. We couldn't have asked for a better service! ?????
7th Oct 2026 (26 days ago)Walkersxchange have been absolutely superb in every aspect of handling the sale of our home. From the initial contact to the valuation, marketing, viewing of property and communication they have been excellent. From our experience we would never use any other estate agent (in the extremely unlikely event of us ever selling our current home).
25th Jul 2025 (1 year ago)Great experience from start to finish
21st Oct 2026 (12 days ago)The team at Ben Charles do a fantastic job - I have used them both to purchase a house and to manage a rental. They are quick to respond to issues and keep me up to date. Excellent service!

15th Jul 2025 (1 year 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.
17th Oct 2026 (16 days ago)Very disappointing experience with Progression Properties. The accommodation was not properly cleaned or maintained, and the lack of proper locks on doors raised serious concerns about safety and security. Communication was frustrating, and I was disappointed with the overall standard of living conditions. I also found the tenancy notice requirements and additional charges stressful and unclear. Tenants deserve a clean, safe and secure home, along with transparent communication and professional service. I would advise anyone considering renting with this company to inspect the property carefully and get all terms in writing before signing.
13th Oct 2026 (20 days ago)Rude They changed my property price daily without my permission. They lower price to less than what i pay for it, Then they put the price 10 times higher than what I pay for it. This is bulling tactic
2nd Oct 2026 (4 weeks ago)Janine was amazing. She arranged a viewing very quickly and kept in contact throughout the housing purchase giving updates to both me and the seller. As a first time buyer she was incredible reassuring and talked me through the process advising on time scales.
2nd Nov 2026 (0 days ago)Poor valuation and poor communication. Had to contact them for updates after viewings.
