23rd Jan 2026 (7 mo. ago)Viewing went well aaron was very helpful
5th Sep 2026 (9 days ago)Very good
17th Jul 2026 (8 weeks ago)Great service, couldn’t fault it from start to finish.
20th Aug 2026 (25 days ago)Had our viewing cancelled at very short notice. We travelled from Weston Super Mare, we waited at the property as we did not know the viewing had been cancelled. Finally gave up and drove all the way back home only to find a message on our answerphone to say the viewing had been cancelled. Waste of time.

23rd Mar 2026 (25 weeks ago)Carvers have sold all of our previous house, in timely order and would have no issue recommending their service again
12th Oct 2024 (1 year ago)They don’t do repairs on houses took 3 months last year to repair a hole in the roof and now they are avoiding more repairs damp in the house and they do nothing!
2nd Sep 2026 (12 days ago)I am renting my property out through Manners and Harrison, after looking at the all of the mainstream firms and going into branches they were the most supportive and engaging at the first point of contact. I dealt with Katie in the Stockton branch she answered all of my questions gave me lots of useful information without being pushy or feeling like it was a hard sell,I was gathering the details needed to make my choice and after sitting down with Katie and others it was obvious which company to go with.<br><br>Katie backed up by Lee did not disappoint they supported me in person on the phone and by email, walked me through the process and waited patiently whilst I was sorting solicitors and other issues.<br><br>When it came advertising and viewing it was completed within a week and offers were on the table, I used the full management service so they took care of all of the legalities and tenants were in place within 2 weeks from advertising.<br><br>I look forward to a good working relationship with Katie and the team
4th Sep 2026 (10 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.
21st Aug 2026 (24 days ago)Fabulous experience from start to finish on what turned out to be a very tricky sale. Communication was excellent and would absolutely recommend Venture to anyone considering selling their home.
11th Sep 2026 (3 days ago)Had them out to value a property. They were nearly £1000 below the other 3 estate agents valuation .<br>Either the other 3 are wrong or they are !!!
10th Sep 2026 (4 days ago)Sharon helped the sale of my house progress perfectly and communication was brilliant :)
29th May 2026 (15 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.
6th Sep 2026 (8 days ago)Good all round service ,would recommend .- 19th May 2026 (17 weeks ago)Managed four of our properties in the Bishop Auckland area over a number of years. Communication has always been excellent, and everything has been handled in a professional, efficient manner from start to finish. Whenever any issues came up, they were dealt with quickly and with minimal hassle for us as landlords. Reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful throughout we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend there services to anyone looking for a trustworthy property management company

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.

16th Aug 2026 (29 days ago)I can’t recommend Paul highly enough. He handled the sale of my house with a really high level of professionalism, I’d previously used a more traditional estate agent as I hadn’t come across EweMove, the contrast was night and day and Paul made the selling experience enjoyable.<br><br>Paul was knowledgeable, approachable and kept everything moving when it could easily have become stressful. I really appreciated his patience, communication and the way he conducted himself throughout the process.<br><br>A genuinely excellent estate agent and a real credit to the team. Thank you, Paul!
20th Aug 2026 (25 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 (20 days ago)I’ve just sold my house using Estates, and they were fantastic. The original sale fell through but Estates helped secure another buyer quickly. The whole team are so friendly and helpful. Special mention to Joy who was superb and always there for help and reassurance when things got a bit tricky at the end. Would 100% use Estates again if I was to move in the future, and am more than happy to recommend to anybody looking to sell!
