The staff at Simon Blythe have helped me since September 2019 to sell a bungalow in Stocksbridge. As I don’t live locally they have taken on tasks over & above normal such as organising grass cutting, reading meters & checking that house clearance men had locked up. Emily Kenny & Hannah Moore have been most helpful & finally we have a sale. It was the only agents that were in the shopping area so they fulfil a vital role.

Catalogue of mismanagement

We recently sold our property in Sheffield using the Stocksbridge branch and overall I would not recommend them to anybody. Below is an outline of how I have reached this conclusion. The house was overvalued and had to be reduced within weeks. The pictures were poor and in my opinion were taken from the height of a toddler (check their listings). We were promised on several occasions a proof read of the description and of the photos but this never materialised. During the house sale, our main contact at Simon Blyth left and we weren’t told for months and only after we chased for an update. There was little to no updates from them during the sale and when chased were very rarely called back. There was no contact when negotiating the exchange or the completion date. They were not even aware that the house was completing and were surprised to see me when I arrived in the office to hand the house keys in. Overall the whole process was a demonstration of poor client relations, bad knowledge of the local property market and basic decency. Fortunately we struck a positive relationship with our seller and our excellent solicitor otherwise if this had been left to Simon Blyth, I fear we would never have sold our house. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend Simon Blyth and in hindsight we should have used one of their competitors.

Terrible

1 star given as couldn't give zero. Offered on a Simon Blyth property only to find when the surveyor went in that they had over valued it by £85k as they had marketed it against new builds in the local area. They refused to accept any fault and said the vender wanted to meet us in the middle with a price. We said we were not paying over 40k more for a house than what it was worth and Simon Blyth kept us hanging for a week. We had to chase them daily for updates and they kept telling us that the vender wouldn't go below a certain price. We then decided to look at other houses. We then found out from the vender a week later that they wanted to sell to us at the price the surveyor and had asked Simon Blyth to tell us this but the estate agent hadn't told us this and instead told the vendors that we were unreasonable encouraged them to put their house back on the market. told the vendors that they felt we were being unreasonable. When we told the estate agent we were pulling out of the sale, the very rude woman on the phone said she didn't want to hear our complaint and put the phone down on us. We are £1000 worse off in wasted searches and surveys but we just feel so sorry for the lovely couple we were buying off and hope they never use this estate agent again

I have used Simon Blythe to both let and recently to sell a house, always receiving outstanding service. Rebecca from letting and Charlottes support selling my house was top class

I don't know if it's due to the pandemic but these estate agents are not very organised. They don't contact customers or give the correct information about properties. Very disappointed when trying to view properties.

Excellent service from start to completion. We were guided through every stage and Maria and the rest of the team were always available to help. Maria was able to signpost us to a great team to help with the legal aspects of the sale. Nothing was too much trouble .Fantastic team. Highly recommended.

I have just sold my house through the Penistone office . I would like to thank all staff but particularly Maria who led us through the entire process in a friendly and professional manner. All our questions were answered quickly and to our satisfaction and our house sold for the asking price. I would have no hesitation in using them again and would recommend them to any perspective vendor. Thank you.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Moving home is incredibly stressful but Maria and the team at Simon Blyth took the stress away. From the minute Maria valued our home to when we dropped the keys off at the Penistone office on moving day, the team was helpful, supportive, professional and quick to return our calls. I can't recommend Maria highly enough.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Maria and Kristy, Today we have exchanged on our sale and purchase - hooray! It's been such a long time coming and I felt like I needed to email to let you know how amazing you have both been through what has been a difficult journey. From the very start you have been on hand whenever I've needed to run something past you and have been on hand to deal with my constant mithering (sorry, sorry, sorry). Kristy stepped in superbly when Maria was on holiday and was genuinely pleased for us when we found our next home, I think we all cried together. Maria has been constantly chasing buyers, solicitors, the whole chain, and has kept in regular contact. The stories I have heard about other estate agents, well they need to come to Simon Blyth! You have earned every penny of that commission. So...….just wanted to say a massive thank you to you both. You have made a very stressful situation easier. I don't know what I would have done without your support. Here's to our next chapter (and lots of trips to Ikea and B&Q - Mark totally thrilled as you can imagine 🙂). Much love xPositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

We worked with Maria Diaz to sell our home, and we couldn't have been more pleased! We received multiple offers the first week the house went on the market, thanks in large part to Maria’s incredible work. Maria was wonderful in keeping the transaction moving along and getting to closing in a timely manner. She was always available to answer our questions (and the buyers!). She was so responsive and is the sweetest person. We had a great experience!PositiveQuality, Professionalism

Maria & Kristy helped us so much during the usual stresses of selling a home. Maria worked really late into the night to get our house on the market in time for the weekend viewings. We paid extra for their professional photographer Dustin to visit us. It was worth every penny as Dustin helped make our house look a million dollars. Maria & Kristy were great at chasing up both sets of solicitors to keep things moving and keeping in touch with us. We would recommend Simon Blyth unreservedly, their fees are very reasonable when you consider the level of service & support you will receive.

Another terrible experience with the…

Another terrible experience with the Kirkburton office of Simon Blyth. I was in the process of buying a property (that I was told had been taken off the market as I had paid for surveys etc) when I discovered by accident that Simon Blyth were showing people around the property on the quiet - nobody had bothered to tell me after I had already spent hundreds of £ on surveyors. I walked away as I could no longer trust them as agents.

Not to be trusted No winners !

Shambolic experience from the staff at the Holmfirth office. After Several attempts to arrange a viewing on a property, staff promised to get back to us with a suitable date and time to view, but never did! We decided after waiting to introduce ourselves to the vendor at his property. He kindly agreed for us to view it. He confirmed that the office hadn’t contacted him about our requests to view? We immediately knew this was the property we wanted to buy. It ticked all the boxes in our buying wish list. We were really excited and proceeded to make an offer. On ringing the office we were told that the property had an offer that was going through. (But the vendor confirmed he had not accepted any offers and it wasn’t too late to submit an offer) This followed a number of lies by staff who were very resistant to us and unhelpful. They did not allow us to progress with our offer. The vendor encouraged us to submit Our offer, but officially, through the office. We put our offer in writing in an email to the office. The whole experience was stressful and emotional, resulting in the vendor taking his property off the market. The agents are now claiming that they introduced us to the vendor, which they didn’t! There is a clear need, in our opinion for estate agents like Simon Blyth’s to be accountable for their actions and regulated by an independent authority. There were No winners In this dreadful experience. Not to be trusted.

We bought a house with Simon Blyth (Penistone) a few weeks ago. We couldn't have hoped for more professional, responsive and kind agents. Every query and phone call was answered immediately and in full, leaving nothing unclear. We dealt with Maria Diaz and it was really her who made the difference - in stressful moments, you want somebody who remembers your name and is 100% concentrated on your query. She was always there for us and her enthusiasm was really palpable. Thank you, Maria, and thank you, Simon Blyth. If we ever decide to sell this wonderful house, we will come back to you!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism
