If there was ZERO I would give them…

If there was ZERO I would give them that. It doesn't matter to them how many times you call, they take details and won't call you back. Holly and Jason both failed to call back to book a simple viewing?? Then another member of staff advised the local agency would be in touch on the same day and I received NO CALL. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME trying to get anywhere with this agency. Go elsewhere as they are way too busy to acknowledge you! Utter shambles. Missed out on 2 properties because of their shabby organisation. Never again.

Cramlington branch - great service - recommended

I sold two properties with Pattinson Cramlington branch recently, one by auction and one through the regular market. The process went very smoothly with quick sales achieved in both cases. The staff have all been very friendly and helpful and have given good advice along the way. In particular I'd like to thank Angie M, Gemma J (both at Cramlington) and also Iain W at Pattinson Auctions. Great service, lovely people and highly recommended.

Dealt with the Alnwick Office

Dealt with the Alnwick Office. We were met punctually at the property by a very pleasant and helpful young lady; Charlie Jefferson. She guided us around the property, answered any questions we had. She was full of advice around the purchase and her brilliant people skills made the whole process a pleasant experience, stress free. Thanks Charlie a joy to meet someone so affable, good with 'us old folks', nothing a bother......You are a credit to any employer. We would not hesitate to recommend Pattinsons if Charlie is an example of their staffing levels and 'customer care' service. Well done Pattinsons.

I must be truthfull and say I had no faith in Estate agents.this was from previous dealings with other local companies.I tried the we but any house .com rogues and came acrossRichard Brough who was appointed by one of the rogues to survey and value my property.I found Richard to be very open and honest from the outset.When it fell through gave Richard a ring and asked him for some advice to put my house up for sale.Again he was very open and we arranged for him to sell for us.I have spoke to the Sunderland Office on many occasion's since the house went up for sale for various things from viewings to offers etc and the agent I have dealt with Beth Curtis is a creditto your business everything I have asked for she has been very professional and gave me the right advice or indeed got me the answers I needed and in quick time at that.She has kept me up to speed going over and above the service I was expecting and even providing me with information that my solicitor could not.I would have no problem of recommending her for a job in my industry if it ever came to that as I believe she is an absolute credit to her profession and has restored my faith in estate agentespecially if you pick the right one.in Pattinson Sunderland with Richard and Beth my house was on the market for 1 week before offers to view came tumbling in and I am going to say within 2 weeks we had a buyer.keep up the good work at Pattinsons estate agents Sunderlandand thanks for all your help and advice

I sold my property via Whickham Branch.

I sold my property via Whickham Branch.Lyndsey and her team provided a great service and nothing was too much trouble foe them.They kept me informed regularly throughout the process and helped to relieve the pressures of selling a propertyThe valuer who came out to market the property gave me some great selling tips which I implemented. Pattinsons will put you in touch with solicitors straight away and get all the paperwork out the way in advance.A special mention to Jodi who is always super friendly and cheery on duty.

Excellent service and lovely staff

What a fantastic buying experience I've had with Pattinson Estate Agents in Whickham. From start to finish, they were professional, prompt and very personable. I called up in January 2019 to view a house for sale with Pattinson, I spoke with Jodi Gooch, who was so lovely. She arranged a viewing for us immediately, she took my information and called me back within the agreed timescales she set out. Jodi was a fantastic member of staff and I was so happy with the service she provided, from putting in the offer, to completion of the sale. I did not sell my house through Pattinson Estate Agents, but would recommend them without doubt. I am very satisfied with the service that was provided to me, I can not praise the staff enough. Thank you. Mrs Lorna Mullen.

Joe Sarin is a STAR!!

I recently rented a property through Pattinson’s. The guy I dealt with at the Regional Branch (Joe Sarin) was incredibly helpful. He went above and beyond to help us find a suitable property. Our situation was tricky and securing a tenancy was by no means easy. Joe was amazing! He kept in touch pretty much daily and did lots of negotiating on our behalf with our landlord. He is a very polite and friendly young man and he has even emailed a couple of times after our move to ask if everything was ok and we had settled into our new home. A+ service!

Awful company do not buy from them

Awful company, don't trust them to buy through. Had an offer Accepted by vendors but they pressed them weeks down the line to take another viewing after we were all sale agreed and now we've been gazumped. Don't use this company to buy from. Lost £600 on fees and searches with less than 2 months to find another house or were homeless.Ashington branch.

I gave one star only because I…

I gave one star only because I couldn't give you zero. Terrible estate agents and by far the worse I've ever dealt with. So I had no guarantor but was told there was still a chance I could ger it without one. So I travelled all the way from Newcastle to grange villa only for the estate agent to forget the keys to the property so I rearranged all other appointments in newcastle in order to get a viewing at a later time which I got. Then I was told I need a guarantor. So basically I spent the last of my money to get there. I was lied to amd then to top it all of when they where emailed asking why they lied to me they stopped replying to me so like I said they don't even deserve one star. Nothing but badness with this company.

Lyndsay Whickam - Fantastic service

My experience with Lyndsay from the Pattinson Whickam branch was fantastic. As a first time buyer and not understanding the process in the slightest Lyndsay was clear with each stage, always positive and followed up on calls and emails. Buying a house is both exciting and stressful, it was nice to have an estate agent who was genuine and excited for me too, making the process more enjoyable. Credit to the team. Thank you!

VERY POOR SERVICE AND LACK OF COMMUNICATION

The level of service expected by Pattinson is not fulfilled. first week of our moving in the water leak happened in our sink and they took 5 days to fix that .. now it's the misinformation about the electricity supplier from Pattinson that our power went off couple of days back . We misunderstood it with the fuse and waited for maintenance team to fix it . called the maintenence dept after a long struggle to get connected and many number of calls and call diverts we got connected with Bob who couldn't make it yesterday but came today morning (12 /09/2022)told us that it's meter issue and previous tenant had left 1.2 pounds balance and that's why we have been cut off . Pattinson had not shared us with these details of current provider or any other information . A company called tenant shop contacted us and told that Pattinson's have not shared the current provider details but told us once they share they ll fix the account with energy provider. Now it's down that we are living without power for 2 days now .. It's very unpleasant experience .. they neither gave us the number of the maintenance person to contact and their emergency contact is unavailable. Pattinson is good in other areas. but with us it's very poor service ..Bob showed up today and has helped us with finding the energy provider . dlNot sure how long it would take to bring back power . Wish Pattinson's had told us these things before hand so we could have had power by now

I have been trying to sell my aunts

I have been trying to sell my aunts flat following her death. It has been difficult as I live nearly 300 miles away. Adam Stewart and his team at the North Shields office made it easy for me organising viewings keeping me updated and when we found a buyer put me in touch with a local solicitor and taking the final meter readings for me. It was a difficult time but a successful conclusion.Thank you

Offered on a house

Offered on a house, outbid, increased offer had the offer accepted, absolutely delighted, then informed the next day a higher offer had Been accepted and no more offers were Been considered,so I wasn't even offered to increase my offer. What I can't believe is why the sellers were not told an offer had Been accepted, I've offered on numerous homes to be told, sorry we have accepted an offer over the weekend for that property, when I rose a complaint, i spoke to the manager then the sales director and NOT ONE of them apologised for the distress and inconvenience caused. A prime example of there customer service. Shocking

What can I say

What can I say, the experience I have had from Pattinsons has been amazing. Not only is moving homes generally a very difficult time but doing it during a worldwide pandemic added to the stress., however Beth Curtis at the Sunderland branch has been amazing always returning my calls, keeping me up to date and been completely transparent. I would not hesitate to use Pattinsons again. Thank you Beth and too your fab team 😊

Overall appalling behaviour and experience, wouldn’t recommend at all

Overall bad experience, no communication between referencing and branch who continued to lose documents throughout the whole process, over charged referencing costs by £50.00 which when we questioned were apologised too, we decided overall to pull out as they all kept giving us different information and couldn’t give a straight answer at all to practically any questions we had, only once a complaint had put in would they even respond helpfully or partially helpfully, the property was very nice but would not ever consider going back to Pattinsons no matter how nice the property, also when we pulled out we were told no refund would be given even though the incorrect charges were paid and we overpaid £50.00 which was never seen again, the only part of the process which was nice and simple was the exiting of the deal despite losing £300.00 it was nicer than the thought of having to be locked into a living arrangement with Pattinsons. They did similar to my parents when they were selling a property causing lots of lost money and inconvenience but that’s a completely different matter. Back to my original dissatisfaction my only request following the drop out of the contract was to have a reason on letter headed paper to confirm why I wasn’t refunded the payment and querying the £50.00 extra, to which I was told the manager does not have word and cannot issue this which I think is disgraceful. Since went with a different estate and letting agent who are perfect and I cannot fault them one bit.

After a failed attempt at selling our house with another Estate Agent,we decided to change and commission Pattinson’s as our Estate Agent. What a great decision this turned out to be. James’s knowledge of the local market and what people were looking for pitched our price at the right level and he produced the new sales brochure which was amazing and within two days of going live we had an offer on our asking price with potential viewers still in reserve. Assisted brilliantly by Kelly and the rest of the office team the sale was seamless and completed from start to finish in 9 weeks. I really cannot recommend the Pattinson’s Alnwick team enough especially in their marketing and knowledge of the local market.

Rental Move In

The whole referencing team: Sam, Eloise and Charlotte made sure the application and move in went as smoothly as possible. Lewis in the Wallsend branch was a great help, putting forward a property that fit all my criteria. Big thanks to Jamie in the maintenance team for arranging the requested works quickly.

Just wanted to thank Carol at Houghton Le Spring branch. She has been prompt with communications, professional and polite. She has allowed me sufficient time to consider a large purchase and provided every element of information that I've required.5 ⭐️s from me. I would recommend Carol and this branch without any reservation.

Excellent service from Forest Hall branch yet again

We have used Forest Hall branch for the last 10 years to let our property in Killingworth, unlike other estate agents they have always managed to let our flat really quickly and we have numerous viewings which they have managed for us. Joanne in particular has an excellent manner and s very efficient and nothing is a bother. I would 100% recommend Joanne and the Forest Hall branch and look forward to using them again in the future.
