Stuart Edwards Estate Agents - Claypath
1 & 2 Bluecoat Buildings, Claypath, Durham City, DH1 1RF
(9 reviews)
14th Oct 2025 (11 mo. 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.

4th Sep 2026 (14 days ago)Reeds Rains Durham – 5 Stars<br><br>I've been a client of the Reeds Rains Durham office for 9 years, during which they professionally managed my property and handled its sale under their Let Complete Services option. This included full property compliance management throughout.<br><br>Their qualified lettings team truly delivered on their promise of providing "complete peace of mind, with every aspect of the tenancy." Professional, responsive, and thorough.<br><br>A special call-out to Deb Hodgson, Senior Sales Negotiator, and her Sales Team for their excellent guidance through the recent tenancy dispute and resolution, and for helping the sale go through without a hitch. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
29th May 2026 (16 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 (1 year 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.
20th Jun 2026 (13 weeks ago)I experienced a truly fantastic service from Langdales Estate & Lettings in purchasing my property. From start to finish Scott and the team provided exceptional, professional assistance in every aspect of the process and were patient and understanding with my queries, explaining what comes next and breaking down the jargon into layman's terms, going above and beyond to support and reassure me through to completion. I am also very thankful for their recommendations for local, reliable contractors. A valuable extra that has saved me a lot of time and potential worry. Fast replies to emails, great communication, friendly and helpful staff, working with you and for you all along the process ensured me that my custom was valued and important. A genuine independent, local business with traditional customer service values, packing a professional, contemporary punch that gets the job done. Would absolutely recommend. 10/10
13th Jun 2026 (14 weeks ago)Acceptable experience
26th Aug 2026 (23 days ago)Walkers provided us with a realistic and prompt valuation on our late mum's property. Heather, who valued the house, was compassionate and supportive to our situation. All of the staff in the office were efficient on the telephone and kept us updated on the sale. All calls were answered promptly and returned within the agreed timescales.<br>Huge thanks to Julie and the team to make the sale of the house as smooth as possible and keeping us updated when there were delays.
12th Jun 2026 (14 weeks ago)A very positive experience from the whole team at Ben Charles regarding recent sale of our property. All staff were very professional throughout and more than helpful with general queries. I especially felt listened to by Emma who really guided me through the sales process regarding time frames and next steps. Emails were answered promptly, communication was clear and I felt reassured that the team managed our sale well throughout. A very successful outcome and a big thank you.

22nd Oct 2025 (10 mo. ago)Useless company. Don't trust what they say
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.
22nd Jun 2026 (13 weeks ago)Extremely disappointing and unprofessional experience. I paid a £150 holding deposit after being told the landlord had approved my application and that I would proceed as the tenant.<br><br>Only a few hours later, I was informed that the application had been rejected and the refund would be issued. The refund was not processed on time, forcing me to chase it daily with no proper communication or urgency. It was only returned after a full week of constant follow-ups.<br><br>Although the money was eventually refunded, the way this was handled was unacceptable, stressful, and shows a clear lack of professionalism and respect for tenants’ time and money. I would not use this agency again and strongly advise others to be cautious.
1st Sep 2026 (17 days ago)Great service would highly recommend them for selling tenanted properties specifically. Property sold in around 30 days and completion took place shortly after. Offloading another 2 properties with Let Properties now.
2nd Sep 2026 (16 days ago)Janine is very friendly, helpful and accommodating. A personal service, you’re not just a name in the office passed from pillar to post.
20th Aug 2026 (29 days ago)A huge thank to Alan and Janet, who are very professional and knowledgeable. They always reply emails quickly and get things sorted out. I cannot be more satisfied with my rent experience with them.
25th Aug 2026 (24 days ago)David came today to valuate my property, he was so polite, friendly and had great banter! Lovely service I received. I’d recommend this company 100%. Thank you for your professionalism, making me feel so comfortable and explaining the process. Keep up the hard work!!
