I’ve not being taken seriously. 1 week to receive an answer for renting a house that I had been interested. The answer was not I don’t know why, and the property still in the market, this happened twice. Bad service.
Hi David, We're very sorry to hear of your frustrations, and thank you for bringing the matter to our attention however we must stress, at no point in the process were you not taken seriously. You initially enquired about the property on the 16th Jan, then, once you had completed the required questionnaire, a viewing took place on the 20th. In a busy rental market, interest is high on most properties so your application was forwarded to the landlord for consideration on the 24th, along with the other interested parties. Within 48 hours, the landlord having considered their options, unfortunately for you decided to proceed with another application, which we do understand would have been disappointing for you to be told. The property then remained "available" online only whilst the referencing process continued. Whilst we disagree with your view regarding "bad service", we respect everyone is entitled to their opinion. If you haven't already found another property, we hope you do soon. All the best, SB

We’re having issues with one of their managed property’s that is next door to ours. Constant excuses from the landlord/letting agents and no responses when contacted.
Hi Yasmin, Thank you for taking the time to raise your concerns, and we're sorry you feel the way you do. Whilst we believe we have so far acted accordingly with the issues you have at your home, please do email sarah@stephensonbrowne.co.uk if you wish to take the matter further. SB

Unfortunately, the home rental part of the office was closed on the Saturday I tried to visit. I did receive some great help from a member of staff from the property sales office.

From the first call to arrange the inital appointment Sam and the team have been brilliant. Really warm and friendly on the phone when you call, very fast to respond to emails and nothing is too much trouble for them. You really feel like they go the extra mile. Thank you so much, you've made a stressful time feel so much better!

Wish I could give this company 100 stars. Although not everything went according to plan I cannot rate them enough for how professionally they have handled the situation. 100% have my trust and would use again. Hope we can work again in the future. Shoutout to Jack for simply being a pro who went above and beyond!
Hi Nicola, What a brilliant review/thank you so much! We'll look forward to working with you again the future when needed :) All the best, SB Newcastle Under Lyme

An awesome team at the Newcastle and Crewe office! They communicate, support each other and no matter what query I had anyone of the team could help. Such a friendly bunch that went out of their way to make the whole experience smooth and clear! Cathy - thank you for helping move towards completion and checking in each week. Maria - you’re welcoming initial visit and organisation skills , getting the pictures and video done, helping with estate agent conversations , you are fab! And to the rest of the newcastle branch - thank you for your support . I’ll be recommending you any day of the week to all I meet! Thank you.
Now this is a great review, thank you so much Claire. All the best, SB

Stephenson Browne were efficient, reasonable and friendly. Their honesty was invaluable in what proved to be a difficult market. Nothing was too much trouble and I knew the property was in safe hands.

It was a pleasurable experience renting. I have never rented a property before and Stephenson Browne were wonderful. Everything was made clear. They executed all of the paperwork quickly and efficiently with the tight deadline I gave them. Could not have asked for more

This was my first time selling my house. Maria came to see me & her professional and passion shone through, after seeing 3 estate agents I know Stephenson Browne were right for me! The pictures taken were very professional, they kept in touch throughout and made the experience so seamless 5 stars I would recommend and like to thanks them for everything
Morning Sara Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, very pleased to hear you were happy with our service. All the best for 2023! SB

We've recently just sold our first home through Stephenson brown, they have made our experience feel like a breeze. The moment Maria and her boss came out to value the property, we felt like we had a instant connection with them both. To then going onto to dealing with Myles in the sales team, they got us up for sale within days and then had us offers within a week. 1 week later we accepted an offer and then moved onto Kathy in after sales team who kept us up to date as much as possible. We'd definitely be using Stephenson brown again in the future. Just wanted say a massive thank you to the whole team for making our experience so stress free and painless as possible
5/5
Maria Preston and her 'whole team' provided us with an excellent service from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble and they went out of their way to help. Everyone was polite and friendly at all times, were up to date with our personal situation and always knew who we were when we phoned. After previous poor experiences with other agents, this team have restored our faith in estate agents. We would have no hesitation in both using this team again and recommending them to others.
Hi Ron, We're delighted you were happy with our service, and thank you so much for taking the time to leave your comments. All the team, Stephenson Browne
5/5
After searching for a rental property for a while the whole experience was excellent. The staff call when they say, take the actions they say and follow up, not to mention they do this is a friendly approachable personable manner. I think too often the crazy rental market is seen as the goose that will lay the golden egg no matter how badly you treat it, service at many agencies is absolutely terrible. In more challenging times this service level will win customers.
Hi Myren, Hope all is well. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, some very kind words and we really appreciate it. Take care, From all at Stephenson Browne Newcastle
5/5
Both Jack and Cathy at Stephenson Browne were courteous and very helpful. Throughout our process of selling and buying, they were the best help that we received by far. They even helped with queries on our selling (not done through them) when our agent was not helping. I highly recommend them, and will not hesitate to use them if I need an agent in the future.
Lovely words Gill, really appreciate it :) All the best, SB Newcastle Under Lyme
5/5
At every stage of the process, Stephenson Browne were professional, friendly and supportive. In fact, this was our second time using them; because the first time went so well we were happy to return! From the initial valuation right through to completion, we knew they had our backs - and when things got complicated at one point, their sales progressor Cathy was an absolute star in making sure everything kept moving. She liaised with our solicitor and the buyers' solicitor, and the buyers themselves, and kept us informed at every step along the way. Higher recommended
Hi Julie, We're so grateful for your very kind words, and of course repeat business :) We'll always have your back! SB Newcastle
