If I could give 10 stars for Neil Walton I would he is the best mortgage broker. Great service and he took care of everything. Whole process has been stress free thanks to Neil's kind attitude and patience as well as his years of experience and knowledge. Neil is a credit to the company

1st Class Service & Staff

I have used Rooks Matthews Sayer for 5 property sales over the last 2 years and the service has been outstanding from beginning to end, despite challenges thrown at us through covid! All the staff I have dealt with; Alison, Michelle, Dawn, Kate and Jack have been wonderful and I cannot recommend them highly enough. I would certainly use them again for both purchases and sales as you are in safe hands with their professional and friendly staff.

Excellent sales experience in 2021/22 with The Blyth Branch from start to conclusion with successful sale of our property. Great marketing advice, related legal and conveyancing support.

I recently sold my house through the Gosforth branch and have also dealt with the Morpeth branch relating to a purchase. Both teams are absolutely fantastic, very professional, but also very friendly and helpful. Anyone who says online estate agents are better either sells houses frequently, or hasn't done it for years because the assistance you get from a good real world agency is worth it's weight in gold during the many, many stressful points of house selling. Thank you :-)
