I used Stephensons Haxby branch to sell my property, the process was smooth from start to finish, from the initial valuation and photos, to the viewings and through to completion, everything was nice and simple and as stress free as possible. Highly recommended.

After buying/renting a number of properties with Stephensons, I cannot recommend them enough. They offer fantastic experience and advice, and their knowledge of the market is second to none, even down to the little details of photographing/filming the properties correctly. With friendly staff, it is always a pleasure when dealing with them. If you want professionalism, this is the company you use.

Stephensons Estate Agents is a company that takes incredible pride in their work. They offer a professional service with incredible attention to detail in your needs, timely and helpful responses to questions, and their advice is always excellent. I’ve found their knowledge of the market - which contributes to realistic decisions about valuations and expectations - to be outstanding. Alongside their innovative approaches to marketing and the individual touch that comes from such a dedicated team, the overall approach and professionalism shown by Stephensons means I recommend them without hesitation. My experiences of Stephensons has led me to personally recommend them to friends and family, all of whom have had first-rate experiences. I will certainly continue to them for any of my future sales.

The whole team were magnificent during what proved to be a very tricky move for my family. Stephensons pulled out all the stops to sell our apartment quickly so that we were able to meet exchange deadlines set by the builder on our new home (which Oliver helped us reserve). The communication, marketing material and overall support we received were first class. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

I have used Stephensons for a number of sales in the past 5 years and have to say their communications were grade A from start to finish! From the initial appointment and right through the whole process, I was kept up to date with every aspect of my sales. I received great advice on market and conditions and really felt like the team had my best interest at every turn. I would 100% recommend the team!

I travelled all the way from Manchester to York for a viewing appointment arranged by Stephenson, following the location shared by Mr. Andrew. After reaching the property, I called the office and was told someone would contact me shortly, but no one ever did. I waited for over an hour with no update. Extremely unprofessional and disappointing experience, a complete waste of my time and money.

Nidhin Β· 16 October 2025 Β· Stephensons York

Agent replied Β· 16 April 2026

Nidhin, Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. It’s a real shame you felt the need to comment publicly on a small, long-established independent business that relies on reviews, without first providing the full facts or context. Since transparency seems to be in short supply on your part, allow us to clarify the situation. Our lettings team went out of their way to rearrange multiple appointments to accommodate your viewing due to your β€œrigid” work schedule, an effort we made in good faith. Your viewing was booked for Saturday 11th October 2025 at 11:30am, with confirmation emails sent clearly detailing the date, time, and address. Despite this, you arrived at the property 45 minutes late, yet feel laying blame at our door appropriate, we can only assume you went to the wrong property. You’ve claimed we wasted your time and cost you money, yet it was your inability to attend the arranged appointment at the right property on time that caused inconvenience, not ours. The only people genuinely out of pocket here is Stephensons, who gave up their time for an appointment you couldn’t show respect to arrive on time for. Might we remind you, we have multiple viewing appointments each day and if viewers can’t arrive on time we must leave to ensure we arrive punctuallly for those who can arrive on time and therefore give them the service they deserve. As a well-regarded local agency with over 150 years of trading, we’d gently suggest a little reflection before publicly criticising a business that went out of their way to assist you. Common courtesy, such as punctuality or even a simple apology, might serve you better rather than false accusations, in future. Rest assured, based on this experience, we will not be recommending you as a prospective tenant to this or any of our other landlords. We prefer to work with individuals who demonstrate the same good faith and decency we extend to them. We wish you all the very best for the future.

We recently sold a property with Stephensons and found the whole team to be very helpful and professional. Communication was excellent and we were kept well informed every step of the process. We dealt mainly with Amy and found her very helpful, going above and beyond. A first class service. Would highly recommend Stephensons to anyone buying or selling a property

We have just bought our beautiful house in York through Stephensons. Having moved from South London/Surrey, it has certainly been stressful. We viewed the property in May, (thank you to Amy and Martin) and throughout the process, Sarah Sherwood has been the calm and guiding voice at the end of the phone. Our own agents who sold our house were great, but whenever I, in particular, had any worries, Sarah always told me, "don't worry, it will be fine" and she was right. We consider this our final move, but if we were ever to consider the process again, it will be Stephensons we would approach.

Andrew Β· 12 October 2025 Β· Stephensons York

Andrew, thank you for your kind words and we are so pleased to hear Sarah and the team were able to support you and remove any worries you had throughout the process. All the very best in your new home

We had been trying to let out our commercial offices in Escrick, York for over a year with two other agents and had no success. Stephensons Estate Agents stepped in and got the office (both floors) let within three months!!! Elliot Newby and his team were professional, responsive, and clearly knew the local market well. We were kept in the loop throughout and really appreciated their proactive approach. Highly recommend if you’re looking for an agent who actually delivers results! Cheers Elliot!

Stephensons were nothing short of exceptional. With the help of the York team, including Sarah and Amber but with special shout outs to Oliver and Amy, they helped us navigate the sale of a unique period home. They went above and beyond to target and find the right buyer including innovative and completely brand new ideas for social media to help broaden our reach. They were patient with us as frustrations sometimes grew as time ticked on and we hadn’t found the right buyer. In the end everything they promised us turned out to be true. They got us into our new house for Christmas. What a present that was! Thank you so much. I’d recommend them to anyone.

We were delighted to be able to assist you with your move, the 'bumps' in the road only made it more satisfying when we received that final call to say the sale had completed. We wish you and the family all the best for the future and feel free to pop in for a catch any time you're passing

We bought our home through Stephensons and couldn't recommend them enough. Amber Young was our contact and was lovely - professional, responsive and knowledgeable. Martin did our showings and again, was really good - professional. Not pushy but really knowledgeable. A lovely, family owned, reputable and trustworthy agency which I will definitely use again.

We couldn't be more impressed with Stephensons Estate Agents. 
From our initial consultation to the final sale, their service was exceptional. We have sold a few houses in the past but this is our first time dealing with Stephensons.
During the initial meeting they immediately stood out from other estate agents we considered demonstrating a level of expertise and professionalism that put them in a league of their own. Stephensons marketing strategy was above and beyond any thing anyone else is currently doing in the York area, with a particularly strong online presence which gave them the extra edge we were looking for. Their approach to selling our home was both innovative and effective and as such we truly believe they are currently the best in York at the moment. Communication was flawless throughout the entire process and the team, especially Oliver and Amy were exceptional throughout. 
Their natural, friendly manner combined with thorough professionalism made the potentially stressful experience of selling our home surprisingly smooth. From marketing to completion, Stephensons excelled in every aspect and we have absolutely no complaints. We would not hesitate to recommend them or use their services again. Thanks again to the team at Stephensons

I bought my house this year with Stephensons. The first viewing of the house was just how I like it. The estate agent was informative but didn't follow me all round the house. I felt free to just look around and take time to chat to my partner about the house which was a good experience. From putting in an offer to the sale going through, I felt the communication was excellent. Amy looked after me and I was so impressed with how efficient and pro-active she was at all times. If I was to sell or buy again in the future, I would definitely use Stephensons again.
