The team at Rook Matthew Sayers…

The team at Rook Matthew Sayers Ponteland office did NOT disappoint. From the valuation visit, throughout the sale process & up until completion we felt their advice, market knowledge & professionalism was everything we wanted from a team trusted to sell our property. They understood our house wasn’t just a ‘house’ but our home and this home needed to be sold as such. From the initial photography, online marketing, accompanied viewing and high levels of communication throughout the process we couldn’t have been more satisfied. Well done the Ponteland RMS team. We’re glad we chose you!

Helen at Hexham RMS was an absolute superstar. We were having some issues with our solicitor, as was the seller, Helen chased both sides and was able to ensure the process was a lot smoother. Nothing was too much trouble for her and she was always easy to get hold of. We are extremely grateful to Helen for all her help and support throughout the whole purchasing process.This was our first property purchase and would definitely use RMS in the future.

Bad experience, left out of pocket

Have had a very disappointing experience with the Morpeth branch. Attempted to purchase a property which had a covenant in place. The covenant was not as advertised, the staff telephoned me with information that turned out to be incorrect. At one point they passed the blame to their client, however they are the agent acting on their behalf so surely it should be up to them to make sure all details are correct? As there were covenants in place, both mine and the vendors solicitors were corresponding with each other but Rook Mathew Sayer, seems to interfere a lot. For example telephoning me to tell me the covenant had been lifted when in fact it had not. But this was something my solicitor told me CORRECTLY, after speaking with the vendor’s solicitors. I have been left out of pocket due to the misinformation, and at times, unprofessional service I received from Rook Matthews Sayer. I’mCurrently seeking further advice about costs incurred. As I’ve said I feel very let down by them and would advise against using their services.

Stan · 16 March 2021 · Rook Matthews Sayer Whitley Bay

Agent replied · 15 June 2024

Dear Alan, We’re very disappointed to receive your 1* star review and have investigated this with the branch staff further. We have been informed that upon your initial viewing with the manager the covenant was explained to you, additionally it was also advertised correctly in all of our marketing materials. We also checked this with the Business Support team who have also confirmed that it is displayed in all materials correctly.It may be that you have interpreted the covenant incorrectly and we are sorry if this is the case but we have followed all procedures of advertising it and explaining it correctly.Furthermore, you stated that Rook Matthews Sayer telephoned you to say the covenant had been lifted, our Morpeth team called to explain that our client had amended the details of the covenant in order to help yourself and future parties attain a mortgage on a previously ‘unmortgageable’ property. Once again apologies if this was misinterpreted after this was explained to you. The Morpeth team did try to contact you regularly via email and phone for your final decision and our client extended the deadline due to your unresponsiveness. However, ultimately they retracted from the sale as they were unable to contact you. We are sorry that you are feeling let down however, we feel we did everything we could to try and secure the property for you. If you would like to discuss the matter further please feel free to email marketing@rmsestateagents.co.uk and our marketing team will be able to assist you.

Positive experience (again) would recommend Hexham Branch.

Hexham Branch.This is our 4th time dealing with Cheryl from Rook Matthews Sayer in Hexham. A positive experience again. Would never consider another agent. I find her very upfront and honest, which is a breath of fresh air in what is an inflated market with unrealistic expectations. Helen and Leah are also very approachable and efficient making for a positive experience all round.

Absolutely first class service from the Ponteland branch. Prompt responses, professional, thoroughly efficient and friendly staff.Property was listed and offer accepted with 5 days whereas other properties currently for sale with different agents remain unsold in the same area therefore I'm confident we made the correct choice going with the branch .We were impressed with their enthusiastic approach towards a prompt sale ,generation of interest and optimism of selling quickly. Which they did! Every attention to detail was considered and sale completed quickly without hiccups. I'd highly recommend. Weve been thrilled by their service.
