GoogleOutstanding! Have used Bishops twice now and each time it has been a smooth, stress free experience. Paul is very professional, caring and takes pride in providing a very personal service. He communicates with you regularly and explains each step of the sale process thoroughly. There is no pretence with Paul, he is straightforward with you and realistic. His knowledge of the housing market is spot on, giving you confidence in the service he provides.
We would highly recommend using Bishops. There is good reason that he is a regular award winning estate agent...definitely the best in York!
Thankyou Paul.

GoogleI can’t recommend Bishops Estate Agents highly enough. Paul is a breath of fresh air. Nothing is too much trouble and he worked hard to market my property and get the viewings coming in. Once an offer was in place he managed the process closely with my buyer and made sure everything progressed as it should.
I can’t thank Paul enough. Don’t hesitate to use his services they are far superior to the other estate agents in the area.

GoogleProbably the best Estate Agent I’ve used for selling a house. Paul is super professional, experienced and very personable. He provided me with great guidance and support through the whole process. He is tireless in getting the best results for his clients. An example of that was when the original sale of my house fell through, as a result of me losing my purchase, Paul found another buyer within 48 hours who eventually went on to buy the property. I would have no hesitation in recommending Bishops to anyone looking for a professional service and someone prepared to go the extra mile for you.

GoogleI have used Bishops Personal Agents twice, once for a house purchase some years ago and once for a house sale this year. My experience is that Paul Atkinson is excellent and just the person you need at what can be a very stressful time He personally visits to discuss and advise initially; to take all the photographs; comprehensively advertise on social media throughout, provide assisted viewings, excellent communication throughout to all parties involved and even personally passes on the keys on completion day. My house got a successful offer this April after 3 weeks on the market and I will always choose to use Bishops for the excellent service provided.

GoogleWe bought a property, using Bishops Personal Agents recently.
We hadn’t moved house for 33 years, so it was a huge venture… also moving from Cambridgeshire to York.
Paul was so helpful, as we couldn’t have a second viewing, due to the distance… he answered all our many questions promptly, and kept us informed throughout the long and complicated process.
We were part of quite a big chain, but Paul was calm and confident throughout, with regular updates.
We are most grateful to him, for his help, and couldn’t be happier in our lovely new place.
Thank you Paul! 🙌🏽

GoogleToday we are celebrating finally completing the sale of our house!
We couldn't have done it without Paul who kept things moving behind the scenes and was personable to all involved.
Paul was always available for support and guidance, turned up with handouts having done his research and impressed us from the beginning with his knowledge and experience.
We can't recommend Paul enough if you're looking to sell in York, a master of multitasking and a complete joy to work with.
He strikes a perfect balance to get things done without being pushy and kept us updated throughout the sale process.
Best of luck with the national awards Paul! 🌟

GoogleIt is perhaps rare that you can whole heartedly recommend an estate agent but that is the case with Paul of Bishops. He was recommended to me for a reason. His calm approach, communication and level headedness are superb. Buying and selling houses can be very stressful and often leave you with a feeling of uncertainty as to where you are in the process of your sale or purchase. Not so with Paul. He is on the ball in communicating to you what is happening. Check out the awards he has so deservedly won.
Thank you Paul for your excellent communication and kind and calm approach in the process of our sale

GooglePaul of Bishops did a fantastic job in selling my property and is the best estate agent in York. Unlike many other estate agents he is not at all pushy and is very knowledgeable and honest. I would recommend him without hesitation.
Am now using Paul to sell a second propert for me. He is still the best estate agent in York by far and handles everything in a refreshingly honest and straightfoward way compared to most other estate agents.

GooglePaul was a delight to work with, from beginning to end. He was super responsive to queries, and kept us closely in the loop at all times, even when solicitors were being slow. He definitely went "above and beyond" on some occasions when we needed more help during a somewhat difficult sale. Highly recommended!

GooglePaul was recommended to us by a family member. The sale of our late father’s property was overseen by Paul from start to finish. It was a sensitive situation, and we feel that we were kept updated every step of the way. If we had any questions, Paul was always prompt and knowledgeable in responding. He facilitated access to the property when it was needed for surveys etc which was great as myself and my brother live a few miles away and generally work in the day. If you are looking for a personal service, where you are kept informed then I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Bishops for your property needs.

GoogleI cannot recommend Paul highly enough. I had two estate agents prior to him that I wasn’t happy with. Paul got me a sale within a week by being proactive with advertising and contacting investors. He was always available by phone and email and kept me updated without. Due to a previous lost sale after 5 months I was particularly anxious about everything and Paul went above and beyond to help everything go through smoothly. I can’t thank you enough Paul.

GoogleWe were very happy with the professional (and yet personal) service provided by Paul of Bishops Personal Agents, during our house buying and selling in early 2022.
Paul listened to our needs and helped us view properties which matched our criteria for moving home. He also supported us to market our house, welcoming buyers for viewings, and maintaining great communication throughout.
Paul was able to provide useful information that helped us understand how the moving process works, and our progress within it - he was always friendly, polite and honest whilst dealing with us, and brought a wealth of experience and knowledge.
Paul was always available when we needed him to answer questions, or to follow up with other parties involved (keeping very flexible hours); he was very responsive as our sale/purchase moved forward, helping us to avoid unnecessary delays.
We’re very grateful for all of Paul’s support and guidance, as buying/selling property would’ve been much more stressful and confusing without his ongoing ‘customer care’. I would definitely recommend! Thanks so much!!
