In recently selling our house we used Simon Blyth Estate Agents and am I glad we did. We took their advice and priced it a lot higher then advised by others and to our surprise (not Simon Blyths) within the month we accepted 2K less, whooo!! We were also very lucky in having Becky Hampshire handle the sale and she was awesome. She kept the whole thing on track working very closely with our solicitor to keep it moving and everyone on the same page. She is full of spot on advice and pearls of wisdom as well as being an excellent judge of character and knowing how most people think. This is the third house move we have done and I have never met someone so determined to do an outstanding job and genuinely care about her clients and the out come. Will defiantly be calling on her in the future.

Until Maria joined the team at penistone I was in the process of changing estate agents. Maria found a buyer for me and kept me informed throughout the whole process. The sale wasn't trouble free due to the length of the chain, however Maria worked tirelessly to make things happen. she was also very helpful with my purchase even though she wasn't acting on the seller's behalf, the estate agents of where i was purchasing were quite demanding. Because the sale of my property wasn't straightforward , which from my experience is quite normal I was glad that I had Maria ironing out the problems.

We sold our home through Simon Blyth and they were great. They ensured the photos were right (not easy with the weather), were friendly and professional when answering our questions and kept in communication with us. Maria Diaz looked after us, helping us find properties that might be suitable to move to and negotiated on our behalf. Definitely our first choice if we move again.

We thought that selling a property in Penistone when living in the Isle of Man would be a challenge, but the team at Simon Blyth made it so effortless. The photos and brochure were done quickly and we had many accompanied viewings and various offers within weeks. Maria guided us through the whole process giving us advice where needed. From the valuation through to completion, Maria kept us fully informed with updates from the various parties involved which was invaluable. We have no hesitation in recommending Simon Blyth to others.

Simon Blyth helped to make my recent experience of selling and buying my new home better than I expected. From start to finish they kept me updated and I felt that I was a valued customer. My negotiator, Maria Diaz, was excellent, negotiating with the buyer, solicitors etc and helped to smooth the way right up until I moved into my new home. I can't recommend Simon Blyth highly enough. I wouldn't hesitate in using them again.

We recently used Simon Blythe to sell our home and cannot fault the service we received. Our house was marketed well and we achieved a sale quickly. Maria was incredibly helpful throughout the process and kept us well informed. She frequently made contact with all parties involved in the chain to ensure the sale proceeded as smoothly as possible. Highly recommend.

The team at Simon Blyth's Penistone were fantastic throughout the sale of my old property and the purchase of my new home. David made the process of deciding how best to market the property very easy and helped ensure the property looked and sounded its best. Maria was fantastic ensuring all the parties came together to process the sale/purchase as quickly as possible, not an easy job for her at times!! She kept me fully up-to-date with progress throughout and always had a smile and a laugh. I also used the maintenance service who were also fantastic. Overall a great service from all involved. Thank you.

Has to be the winner in (Awful Service)…💩

Has to be the winner in (Awful Service) Award! Shameful behaviour when it comes to submitting an offer and underhanded tactic for squeezing another penny from a buyer but loosing a potential buyer because you need another few hundred pound to cover the advertising. Not turning up for viewing appointments for potential buyers! 3rd time for me alone waiting over 40min for the agent to show.. your terrible and you know it. My advise and the advise of 70% of other people on TP is to look at others.. good luck people.

Horrible service and a disrespectful follow up

Horrible, and poor is some of the few words that can only describe SB! Customers (me) having to wait in the rain without even a phone call to let me know that they forgot about my viewing. Are you still working on a chalk board? Even after a call to them on the day to ask if they are turning up and they just say we are running behind. That’s it! I even made a cash offer and was having a final look before proceeding. I’m sure all the vendors would love know a cash offers has been lost due to SB poor follow up service. If this is how customers are treated I would suggest you use someone else people.

Terrible Lettings Service Experience We recently found a new home in Honley for our 78 year old mother in law. Simon Blyths Lettings failed to return calls, misdirected information, messed up the rental paperwork, and worse of all - confused and contacted the elderly lady directly, despite being specifically asked not to. All the way through the process they showed levels of incompetence that was explained in writing by Simon Lewis, the Lettings Manager as as a consequence of them being busy. Well good luck and im pleased your so busy because I will never use your services or recommend them again.

We recently sold our house with simon Blyth’s. In this time we used both Barnsley and penistone branch. All the staff i had dealings with were amazing! I can not recommend them enough. Moving house is so stressful even more so with a young family. So choosing the right estate agents is so very important. I was not disappointed. They even supported me through our current purchase. They’ve gone above and beyond thank you!

After an incredibly shaky start with our primary point of contact (who subsequently left), our sale was handed over to Sarah and Martin who, quite frankly saved the day as far are we're concerned. Earlier this year (2017) we put our house up for sale with Simon Blythe and, after doing many viewings (and discovering that many vendors are precisely as dishonest as you might think) we put an offer in on what we hope will be the last property we buy. Unfortunately, this is where the whole process started to unravel. The deceit, dishonesty and outright lies we've encountered in the purchasing process have been shocking, to say the least. However, the support and help we've received from Martin & Sarah has been quite unbelievable, through their hard work and diligence they managed to turn what was about to become a complete disaster for all parties (two other families in the chain behind us) into a trio of exchanges and completions. It's hard to put this kind of gratitude into words and frankly, words would never be enough anyway. The professionalism, composure, honesty and integrity demonstrated by Martin & Sarah has been as shocking as it has been a relief. Based on our experiences, we'd have no hesitation in recommending their services to friends and family alike.

Simon Blyth Estate agents proved to be the very best choice of agent to sell the property near the Hospital and city centre. The Sheffield branch manager Martin Tune and in fact all the staff we had dealings with were totally professional from start to finish. Highly recommended.

We've been very satisfied with the service provided by Sarah and Martin at Simon Blyth Fox Valley during the sale of our house. They have been attentive and personable throughout the process and we always felt assured that they were on our side and working hard for us. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

We sold our house in Stocksbridge through Simon Blyths and we were even assisted in negotiating a good price for our new house in Lincolnshire. They are exceptional in their service and was very professional throughout the whole process. Martin is an absolute star and deserves a pay rise for his care and commitment throughout. Simon Blyths are the first and only choice for selling your home. Thank you so much. Love from The Fosters.

Simon Blyth, just another w****r!

Simon Blyth, an estate agent that helps cement the stereotype that estate agents are *****. After waiting half an hour for him to turn up to our appointment we tried his office, which just rang out. We waited another half an hour in case he was stuck in traffic..... and had forgotten his PHONE! But to no avail. We double checked the email confirmation to make sure it wasn’t us that were the idiots but no.... we were at the right place at the right time. Driving home with our two screaming kids I saw he had a lot of houses on the market... it’s likely to be, not because he’s so highly regarded but because he doesn’t turn up to sell them. It’s his wife I feel for the most in all this, because he clearly couldn’t give a ****!

Halifax Office

I want to give a big thank you to Alex and Lesley at the Halifax office for giving me support and guidance when I was struggling to sell my property, and then chasing solicitors etc to get the sale over the line! The sale took many months and they showed great tenacity in progressing things and keeping me informed. Really fabulous service!
