Earlier this year we agreed the sale of our Parents beloved family home, working alongside Manning Stainton Estate Agents in Oakwood, Leeds. Throughout the whole sale experience all the team at Manning Stainton were friendly, polite, efficient and effective and it's no surprise that in the end they got the job done. The team kept us updated throughout the whole process and carefully made what appeared complicated simple. My Sister and I are delighted we chose Manning Stainton out of all the local estate agents, it is one of our better decisions. When I hand delivered a thank you card to the team it was a deeply moving experience. The irony is not lost that their slogan is Helping Oakwood Move. Thanks again it was a real joy to work with you all during this stressful period of parental loss, letting go and moving on.

We bought a flat from Manning Stainton Oakwood and right from the moment that we first viewed until we completed the whole experience was excellent. Everyone we spoke to was responsive, helpful, professional, and polite, and always returned our calls and promptly answered our queries. The purchase went through very quickly and smoothly. We would especially like to mention Ryan, Peter, Carol and Shelley. Thank you.

We quickly needed to get our property on the market so contacted Manning, having had a great experience with them when we sold a flat previously. Sally has provided phenomenal service throughout the process, proactively keeping us fully up to date and responding to things swiftly to help secure a quick sale. Thanks very much, highly recommend!

We couldn't be happier with the service we received. Throughout our purchase, the team was consistently transparent, clear, and proactive in their communication, which made a real difference in what can often be a stressful process. They took regular follow-ups with both our solicitors and the sellers, keeping the chain moving and making sure nothing fell through the cracks. Any time we had a question, we got a clear and honest answer, no vague responses or being left in the dark. Their active involvement in chasing progress on both sides genuinely helped keep things on track, and we always felt informed about where things stood. Would highly recommend them to anyone buying or selling a property.

Very impressed with the service provided for our house sale, very informative and friendly team, the process is going smooth so far, we've been kept up to date frequently and we've found a buyer in record time, couldn't ask for more. Shout out to Nikki, Alex and especially to Alexandra (Alex Clayman). I would recommend them to anyone and I would certainly use their services again.

Maisie managed the sale of our property in Meanwood and was fantastic from start to finish. From the initial valuation, through all the viewings and right up to completion, she made the whole process feel easy and well managed. She’s incredibly professional, motivated and proactive, but also really friendly and approachable. We always felt in very safe hands and couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you, Maisie!

We worked with Evie on the purchase of our first home, and we had a very positive experience. Communication was brilliant from the moment our offer was accepted all the way to completion. Evie is patient and caring, and will go above and beyond to ensure everything is progressing smoothly. She was particularly exceptional at communicating regularly with our solicitor and the seller's solicitor. I cannot recommend Evie and the Manning Stainton Headingley team enough :)

We are purchasing a property marketed by Manning Stainton. Sally showed the house to us and was excellent - knowledgeable, friendly and encouraging. She allowed us to explore and to get a feeling for the house. It was nice to be able to view a property without too much pressure.

Best estate agents in the area, always attentive to your needs, constantly checking in to see how viewings went & sending reminders etc. Ellie was particularly helpful and fast at providing me with updates along the process which made it smooth and easy for a first time buyer.

Sally was honestly amazing from start to finish! She went out of her way to fit in extra viewings, always kept us updated, and was always happy to help with anything we needed. She really went above and beyond and made the whole process so much easier. Couldn’t recommend her enough! ⭐️

I have switched Estate agents to Manning Stainton and oh my what a difference, the sales staff have been on point every step of the way with arranging viewings and the photographs of the house finally serve it justice and has had so many more viewing in a month than we had in a year from the previous estate agent. The house is now sold thanks to Debbie Cundill-Houghton who deserves a wage rise for all the hard work and chasing she has done for our previous time wasters. Every step of the way she has kept us up to date and got is over the line for us. Thank you so much. ​​

Adam Kemp is a wonderful person to work with. As a tenant and he has been so helpful and nothing but a pleasure to rent through. I’m so grateful Adam was in charge of our property as he made everything so easy. Thanks again Adam, we can’t fault your customer service

We were using an different estate agents previously with very little interest and a lot of frustration however once we moved it over to Manning Stainton the interest was much better. Chloe Redhead and her team were fantastic with everything from viewings to chasing feedback and keeping us updated on everything! Would 100% recommend!

Poor experience as a tenant Our experience with Manning Stainton's property management over the 3 years we rented through them was disappointing. We understand that their role is to represent the landlord's interests, but we often felt this came at the expense of treating tenants fairly and reasonably. The main issues we experienced were: - At the end of our initial 1 year tenancy, we were asked to accept a rent increase of £170 per month (21%!) to renew our agreement. Although we negotiated this down to a 12.5% increase, it was still above the local market rate. This left us feeling that the initial rent was set to attract tenants before being increased significantly after the first year. - It took more than 6 months for a broken and dangerous back gate to be replaced and removed, despite us reporting it numerous times. - At the end of our tenancy, £395 was deducted from our deposit, which was a surprise as we had consistently received positive feedback during property inspections. £300 of this was for gardening, which involved mowing a small front lawn, trimming a few shrubs and weeding a paved back garden. We felt this charge was excessive for the amount of work involved, but they weren't willing to accept our counter-offer. Based on our experience, we would not recommend renting through Manning Stainton as we felt that charges and costs were prioritised over treating tenants fairly.

Great experience with the Manning Stainton team who helped me form enquiry through to sale / completion. Special mention to Lesley Alexander who managed the move and was great with communication throughout. And Also Emily Hullah for helping through the onboarding stage even though she was based in a different location. would highly recommend.

Lesley Alexander at Manning Stainton (Wortley) was fantastic throughout my purchase of dream propery. She kept me updated every step of the way and made what can be a stressful process feel much more manageable, especially given how long the mortgage application took to go through. The wider branch team were also great to deal with before Lesley took over as my Move Manager. Would definitely recommend their service to anyone buying or selling in Leeds.

Hannah Lund was amazing helping organise everything to do with getting my property ready for market. Photos were great and done timely, and the speed of marketing was excellent. Manning Stainton kept in touch every week and sent really useful reports, Whilst my property did not sell and I had to wirthdraw from the market, I would reccomend Manning Stainton and will highly consider using them in the future.

Good work by Leslie and the team. Got our sale over the line. The BEST thing about the team is.......They ring you back!! They don't email you, when you ask for a call back and this is not usually in my experience. They actually call you back. You ACTUALLY get to speak to a human. Well done, keep up the good work.
