GoogleThis estate agents has no shame trying to sell a house like nothing is wrong with it less than 24 hours after I backed out of the house because it had a never ending list of problems. I would steer well clear from this estate agents. Nothing but a bunch of con artists.
Jordan · 22 September 2024 · Grisdales Cockermouth
Agent replied · 22 October 2024
Dear Jordan,
We are disappointed to see your review, especially given your positive comments regarding Carolann’s assistance and her efforts to progress the transaction.
Please note, it is standard practice to relist a property when a sale falls through and it is part of our obligation to the seller to promptly remarket the property for other potential buyers. While a property may not meet one buyer's expectations, it could be perfectly suited to another.
In this case, the property was priced based on its current condition, with the need for work or improvement clearly stated in the advert. While we provide transparency about material information that may influence a buyer's decision, estate agents do not typically offer detailed lists of necessary works, as that requires professional assessment and is beyond our remit. We always encourage buyers to conduct their own inspections and seek professional advice where necessary. We understand Carolann was able to offer recommendations on this.
In many instances, following surveys or inspections, we can explore renegotiation if repairs or further works are needed, provided the property still meets the buyer’s circumstances. If that is not the case, the property will be relisted, and any new information that arises after a sale falls through will be shared with prospective buyers.
We understand how disappointing it can be when a sale falls through; however, we take accusations seriously. We always strive to conduct ourselves with the highest level of professionalism and integrity. If you have any specific concerns you would like to discuss further, we welcome you to reach out to us directly.
Regards,
Grisdales

TrustpilotUnprofessional and slow
Shocking customer service from the Lettings team at Whitehaven. Referred to potential tenants and enquiries as " noise ".Slow to send applications to the landlord. We found out we had been unsuccessful by seeing the homes had been let online. Poor communication on the progression of applications. No empathy and dismissive. Instead of saying there is nothing we could do to improve our application, perhaps seek feedback from the landlords. Feels like applicants are chosen by favouritism. Customers don't want to hear repeatedly "we are busy" as a reason for poor communications.
Stuart · 27 July 2024 · Grisdales Whitehaven
Agent replied · 23 August 2024
Dear Stuart,
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction with our service.
Grisdales is currently experiencing an unprecedented volume of applications, averaging more than twice the number in the same period last year. Despite such high demand, only one applicant can be selected for each property. We appreciate how frustrating it can be to miss out on a property you were interested in.
We feel it is important to clarify that the final decision on tenant selection rests entirely with the landlords. Our role is to present all applications, and the landlord chooses the tenant based on their personal preferences. There may not be anything you can do to improve your application, as the choice is subjective and not necessarily a reflection of your suitability.
It is disappointing to hear that you felt dismissed during your interactions with us. Our team strives to go above and beyond for our clients, and it is disheartening to know that in your view we did not meet that standard. While we aim to keep all applicants informed, sometimes the volume of applications affects our ability to do so promptly.
We understand you have already spoken with our team by phone, but if you have any further questions or would like to discuss this process again, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly.
Kind regards,
Grisdales

GooglePoor communication, zero service, selling customer details to many 3rd parties, renting smelly properties. Before they get your money, they keep calling you regardless how you prefer phone calls or not, they rarely respond your emails. Once they get your money, they will just ignore all your messages.

Based on the information provided, we could not locate your records in our system. Should you have interacted with us and experienced these issues, we are eager to investigate further and address any concerns you may have. However, without your details in our records, it is challenging for us to provide the appropriate assistance. We kindly request that you reach out to us directly so we can discuss your experience in more detail.
To clarify, we want to assure you that providing excellent service and maintaining open communication are fundamental values of our agency. We take any allegations of poor service seriously and do not engage in selling customer details to third parties. Furthermore, we strive to ensure that all properties meet quality standards before renting them out, and applicants are provided ample opportunities to visit the property beforehand to assess its suitability.
Warm regards,

TrustpilotDisappointing Experience with Grisdales Estate Agents
My experience with Grisdales has been nothing short of disappointing. From the moment we moved into the property, we encountered numerous issues, ranging from maintenance problems to unfair treatment as tenants.

Agent replied · 23 August 2024
Dear Emeka,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We appreciate hearing about your experience, and we want to address your concerns.
We take our responsibility to maintain our rental properties seriously. Our goal is to ensure that existing occupants enjoy and care for their homes while also maintaining the property for future tenants and protecting our landlord’s investment.
Our repairs reporting system is accessible 24 hours a day and allows tenants to report and track the progress of any issues efficiently. We understand your frustration, but it's important to note that not all reported issues necessarily require the involvement of a qualified tradesperson. In some cases, simple solutions, which were offered by our team, were able to address the concern effectively. However, when repairs were genuinely needed and promptly reported, we feel we responded appropriately, whether by providing remedial advice or organising a qualified tradesperson.
We conduct regular inspections on all our homes to ensure the property is well-maintained, and we promptly communicate any concerns to tenants via inspection reports. These inspections also provide tenants with the opportunity to express any issues they may have. Following these visits, our property inspector offered several recommendations for best practices on ventilation.
We are sorry to hear that you felt unfairly treated and that we were unempathetic. We feel it's important to mention that some issues you experienced were due to user error, and we dispatched a qualified plumber multiple times to support you, although this is not typically expected of a landlord/agent. By extending your vacation date, we aimed to provide you with more time to secure alternative housing, easing the transition process, and reducing any unnecessary stress or pressure.
Regarding the retention of deposits, please be assured that this is only done for legitimate reasons, such as damage beyond fair wear and tear. We understand that this can be frustrating; however, transparency and fairness are fundamental values here at Grisdales, and we are committed to ensuring that all parties are treated equitably in these matters. For any disputes regarding the deposit, we advise utilising the DPS resolution services.
If you have any further concerns or would like to discuss this matter further, please do not hesitate to contact us directly.
Thank you once again for bringing your concerns to our attention.
Warm regards,
Grisdales
