19th Apr 2025 (1 year ago)Company was not proactive. They did not give feedback on one of the few viewings we had and at least two of the viewings were by people who had little intention of buying, not good enough
7th May 2026 (5 weeks ago)Made it easy for us from start to finish ??????
11th Jun 2026 (2 days ago)Had a good reputation but not as hungry to sell as I hoped.The staff though are very personable.
14th May 2026 (30 days ago)At start the agents were bang on. But once I'd got with them the original agent passed a lot of things onto other staff and I had to keep ringing for problems. At the point of it being sold they never even rang. I found out by ringing them and it was a case of ..well it's sold we thought you knew! Not good enough.
13th Dec 2025 (5 mo. ago)I have dealt with Marcus Aldersons estate agents both in rental and selling, what a team they have here. From communication to advice, they are above and beyond expectations, a thoroughly sound service indeed, nothing plastic here at all, the premiership of estate agency.
1st Jun 2026 (12 days ago)Fiona & Avril have been amazing from start to finish. They have managed to move my family into our forever home and they couldn't of been more helpful & professional. Thanks ladies for everything. Outstanding service
28th May 2026 (16 days ago)"I highly recommend Manners & Harrison to anyone looking to purchase a property. As a first-time buyer, I was initially anxious about the process, but my first phone call with Sophie immediately put me at ease with her welcoming and professional approach. Additionally, their financial advisor, Phil, is exceptionally knowledgeable and provides the guidance I need to feel completely confident in my purchase. The team consistently goes above and beyond for their customers, maintaining excellent communication and keeping me informed at every stage. They demonstrate a genuine care for their clients, and their outstanding service has made this a seamless experience so far.
18th May 2026 (26 days ago)Very good and helpful ??????
1st Jun 2026 (12 days ago)I find that when you phone their office regarding a viewing some of the representatives are quite abrupt if an offer has been made on a property you are interested in, They do not take the opportunity to further customer relations, after all they are there to sell property and as we all know not all sales follow through.
22nd May 2026 (22 days ago)Nick and your team were very helpful ??????
29th May 2026 (15 days ago)I cannot recommend Sharon enough for her outstanding support during my recent property journey. From day one, she went above and beyond to ensure everything ran as smoothly as possible. Selling or buying a property can be incredibly stressful, but Sharon completely took the pressure off. Her communication skills are exceptional—she constantly kept me updated with progress, promptly passed along any news, and was always available to answer my questions. I never had to chase her for information, which made a world of difference. If you are looking for an estate agent who is proactive, professional, and genuinely cares about delivering top-tier service, ask for Sharon. Thank you so much for all your hard work!
30th Apr 2026 (6 weeks ago)I moved into my flat a few months ago and yet even now Acorn remain helpful and kind with any issues I've had. Absolutely recommend for any first time renters like myself that have been a bit nervous with getting things started. Super understanding and patient while still being reliable for any issues I've had along the way, couldn't be happier with them.
14th May 2026 (30 days ago)Great service thank you so much
4th May 2026 (6 weeks ago)We worked with AJP on our house sale and they were brilliant from the word go. When Tony came to do the initial valuation it was immediately apparent that we were in the hands of a professional, and his clear, candid and pragmatic advice has been invaluable throughout the process, ultimately helping us get a sale price we were very happy with. The entire team were extremely helpful and always quick to respond to any communication, especially Demi who helped keep things on track with the sale progression. The app to monitor progression was also very useful, and helped us feel in the in the loop with where things were at all the way through the process. AJP go above and beyond and we would certainly use their services again in future should we ever need it!
28th Mar 2022 (4 years ago)We found Halls very helpful and professional.
14th Jun 2025 (11 mo. ago)I used Collier to sale my late father’s home, they were incredibly quick in everything they did and kept good communication with me being a distance seller. They made the whole experience a lot easier to deal with.

15th Jul 2025 (10 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 Mar 2026 (11 weeks ago)I used Progression Property to manage the letting of my apartment. Cheryl and Amanda were incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the whole process. They created an amazing listing and gave me full confidence on all of the checks they carry out on tenants. I would highly recommend their service.
3rd Apr 2026 (10 weeks ago)I had a fantastic experience with Everbest Properties - Estate & Letting Agents Newcastle upon Tyne. The team was professional, friendly, and highly efficient throughout the entire process. They made everything straightforward and stress-free, always keeping me informed at every stage. What really stood out was their excellent communication and attention to detail. They took the time to understand my needs and ensured everything was handled smoothly and with care. I would highly recommend Everbest Properties to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy property professionals. A well-deserved five-star review!
30th May 2026 (14 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 (7 days ago)Excellent and professional.
24th Apr 2026 (7 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.
25th May 2026 (19 days ago)From viewing to moving into the property, the customer care is been very cordial. I would recommended Castle Homes to a dozen.????????????
29th May 2026 (15 days ago)Fantastic service from start to finish. We were kept informed every step of the way, you could almost be fooled into thinking that you are their only client from how personalised the service feels. We genuinely could not recommend them enough - thank you Louis, Sally and Joy.
