GoogleSpecial thanks to Aneeka and Elizabeth for their help with selling my mums property in Blackley. My mum had lived in her home for 40 years so i dealt with the property sale on her behalf as it was always going to be an emotional move for my mum. From start to finish, the service was personal, sensitive to my mums needs, professional, responsive, and efficient. I was kept well-informed at every step of the process, and ensured everything moved along as smoothly as possible. Thank you

GoogleI was very pleased with their service selling my flat. They were quick to arrange viewings and inform me of any updates. Elizabeth Powell was always helpful, proactive and quick to respond to my emails and deal with the buyer and their solicitor. Thanks for all the hard work Elizabeth.
5/5
GoogleI had a great experience with Elizabeth Powell, my solicitors really disappointed me but Elizabeth came through constantly updating me and trying to push things from her end. It was my first time moving house so I am massively grateful for her timely responses and it felt as though I had someone in my corner!

GoogleRyder Dutton will always now be my Estate Agent for their excellent services. As a private landlord, I was unprepared for the hurdles I was forced to overcome in selling a tenanted property. I am so grateful to Bryony and all her team at Middleton for their support, patience, understanding and professionalism in achieving my property sale. I am super happy. Thank you

Googletried to view 2 properties (cash buyer). 1st one in Dec I had to cancel the viewing and asked could I rearrange. The answer was ' so you want to cancel' so I gave up. 2nd property Feb I asked to view and told they 'don't do Tuesdays for viewings', that was the only day in the wk my son could come with me. The property was less than 1/2 a mile from the office. It was a 1 bed house. Asked the girl to check with the manager and told again no he wont do Tuesdays. I went in the shop to complain explaining I knew there was no viewings on it, no interest and here I am seriously interested and the 2 girls sat in the office said Michael would contact me on his return..still waiting. Now the property is no longer on the market.

GoogleElizabeth was helpful with finalising the purchase price. I believe the initial price put on the house was higher than the condition of the property. The house was newly painted to cover up the fault.

GoogleElizabeth Powell has been amazing throughout the whole moving process! Super attentive and always quick to reply with updates. She was constantly on top of things and did an awesome job chasing the solicitors to keep everything moving. Made a stressful process feel so much smoother.

GoogleVery un professional approach as they didn't turn up for a viewing. Not even a message or a call to apologise or reschedule.
Agent replied · 13 June 2026
Hi Dibin, there appears to have been a misunderstanding as we did contact you over the phone to cancel the viewing and it appears you still turned up. We understand this must’ve been frustrating if you hadn’t realised the viewing was cancelled, and so apologise for any miscommunication on our part. If you’d like to discuss the issue further with a member of our team, please call our Middleton branch on 0161 643 9617. We wish you the best with everything going forward. Thanks, Michael Hodson, Branch Manager

GoogleOulsnam barnt green have been so supportive with the sale of my mom’s house. They did all the viewings and took the stress out of the move. They worked so hard for us and were very patient and understanding. We would highly recommend them.
5/5
GoogleI am thrilled to share my exceptional experience with Oulsnam Barnt Green and my property manager, Brogan. Recently, I encountered a couple of leaks in my home, and Brogan's response was nothing short of remarkable. From the moment I reported the issues, Brogan demonstrated professionalism, efficiency, and genuine care for my situation. He promptly arranged for contractors to visit my home, ensuring that the leaks were addressed swiftly and effectively. The contractors were skilled and courteous, and their work was top-notch, reflecting Oulsnam's high standards. Brogan's proactive communication throughout the process was greatly appreciated. He kept me informed at every stage, ensuring I was never left in the dark. His dedication to resolving the issues promptly and his attention to detail made a potentially stressful situation seamless and stress-free. It's rare to find a property manager who goes above and beyond to ensure their tenants' comfort and satisfaction, but Brogan does just that. His commitment to providing excellent service is evident, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have him managing my property. Thank you, Brogan, for your outstanding help and for coordinating the contractors to fix the leaks. Your hard work and dedication did not go unnoticed.
