Rang up and spoke to christine about a rented bungalow for my elderly parents who due to health are moving to the area to be close to us. She couldn't have been more helpful and friendly on the phone, as a property owner I have had some pretty shocking experiences of estate agents however this experience has decided for me that when we next sell we will be giving this company a call first

Debbie Fraser from the sales office in Jackton has given us the most amazing service from the start. It’s a completely new experience for us as we are moving from a very old house after 30 years! She is warm, friendly and can’t do enough to help us with all our questions.

My Son was let down by this company , who tell you , your the only person interested in a property , cancel a viewing , re-arrange another viewing , then don't even have the decency to let you know they've rented out to someone else . Not a good way to run a business with people who are desperate to find a home .Don't know how they've won any awards .

We met with a few different agents and we just liked Alex from Castledene the best, he was friendly, relaxed, and we didn't feel pressured or rushed. Charlotte has then handled our sale and has been a superstar, so kind and friendly and helpful, and her dedication managed to get our house sold super fast, it was up for sale for just over 2 weeks. The whole process has been a joy, it's not felt stressful as everyone has been so nice. Cannot recommend castledene enough, thank you so much!

Charlotte Butler at the HARTLEPOOL Branch is excellent she sold a house for me that was particularly difficult to complete on & she never gave up Chasing the Buyer & Solicitors every day until it finally went through. I have NEVER had an estate agent like her in over 50 years so pleasent & Nothing too much trouble .Keeping me updated constantly over 5 months of a difficult sale . I will definately be using her for other houses myself & family own.

I cannot praise Castledene enough for the brilliant service. They helped sell our mams bungalow when she moved into a care home. They were understanding as it was our family home and it was upsetting to see it go. Alex & Charlotte kept us informed throughout the sale, and nothing was too much trouble for them. So impressed with them 100%

Jodi and the team at Castledene Bishop Auckland are fantastic at what they do and a genuine pleasure to work with. Everything was sorted quickly and easily with no delays or fuss. The listing they created showed off our house perfectly and the response we received was very strong and pretty much immediate after going live. I honestly can't recommend Castledene Bishop Auckland enough. They offer excellent service with a personal touch and gave us instant results. Thank you for everything!

Dear Castledene Great start to my mum's new flat. The service you provide for my mam has been excellent - the types of enquiries you've made to help have been great. You have a lovely property. Please take some time to look into tenants who have left a property to check if their rubbish bin is part of a neighbour's responsibility or by yourselves as my mam has noticed this the last few days and is now worried about certain pests. The rent net is correct as at 4 November 2022. They're was a delay on the first payment but that has been sorted now. The energy company British gas need to be aware that my mam was not in the property at the time of the billl that was sent out to her. A few things to mention: My mam struggles to get down the steps outside the building and has to hold onto my arm for support. The metre cupboard is missing a key and also for the outside gas metre cupboard Only had a few problems with woodlice which could have been connection to the rubbish bins situated out the back. Many thanks Stewart and Anna

We have experienced professionalism and helpfulness in our dealings with Castledene Sales & Lettings. Charlotte met us at the property and she was really friendly and warm. Sam has been a great support too! During the more recent stages of our rental we have been dealing with the team incorporating Louise, Lizzie & Abbey. I would particularly like to shout out Abbey, who has been extremely supportive, despite all of the delays from our side. I would strongly recommend this organisation to anyone who is looking to rent or buy.

Great company to work with. I have used Castledene on its investment department for purchasing few investment properties. Unfortunently after a long time the purchase could not be completed. The reason I am giving 5 stars is because the way they have supported us throughout the process and even when the things did not work as planned their reaction has been very positive and fair. Joshua is a great guy and I will use this company in the future.

Your professionalism, expertise, and dedication were truly remarkable, and I cannot thank you enough for making the process so smooth and stress-free.

You were always available to answer any questions I had, and your attention to detail ensured that nothing was missed. I truly appreciate your hard work, patience, and commitment to excellence. It was a pleasure working with you, and I would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Thank you once again for everything you have done. Best regards,
