TrustpilotSarah is great, the rest of the team not so much.
I would just like to start off by saying that Sarah Green has been brilliant from the start, she has been efficient and quick to sort out issues that have come up. She is friendly, approachable and professional. Unfortunately, Sarah did not have much involvement with the property condition.
I wish I could say the same about the rest of the team. Unfortunately, it was not smooth sailing when we rented our property. There were multiple problems in the property, including broken kitchen cupboards, an attic leak and carpets that stunk of dog. We asked if the issues would be solved before moving in to which we were told they would be. We moved out 6 months later, and none of the jobs had been completed. We complained to Ryder and Dutton and in all honesty, it seemed that they wanted to ignore the issues. It’s quite disgusting really, I imagine not one of the staff would live in that property with all of the issues.

I am really sorry that you were unhappy with the condition of the property, but we certainly were not ignoring the issues. As you know there have been numerous maintenance issues addressed throughout your tenancy including a replacement oven, replacement toilet, repair to the chimney and repainting of the attic.
Whilst the Landlord instructed the contractor to replace the kitchen cupboard doors the contractor has had issues sourcing a like for like replacement. I apologise that this job has taken longer than normal to address but this certainly isn’t the normal service we provide.

TrustpilotExcellent all round no need to look at other estate agents
Catherine did an absolutely brilliant job of getting our house sold, we were guided through the process and her idea of doing an open day got us at least 5 offers on the table, we were delighted. Kia then picked up the reigns and did an excellent job of getting us to completion which happened today , I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. If you are looking for a local company who know the area and the property market well then reach out to Catherine and the team at Ryder Dutton.

GoogleI’d like to say a huge thank you to Robyn and the whole team for all their hard work and support throughout what has been a very long and challenging property purchase. Although the sale ultimately didn’t proceed, this was absolutely no reflection on Robyn or the team. Robyn was consistently professional, helpful and responsive, worked tirelessly to chase updates and did everything she could to keep us informed and move things forward. We really appreciated her communication, patience and the effort she put in, particularly when many of the delays were completely outside of her control. It was disappointing that we couldn’t complete the purchase, but we are genuinely grateful to Robyn and the team for their hard work and professionalism throughout. Thank you for always keeping us in the loop and doing your very best to help.

I had a really positive experience with Ryder & Dutton when selling my house. From start to finish, the whole process was handled professionally and efficiently, I dealt with Bryony and she is super friendly, helpful and easy to deal with.
They kept me informed throughout the process and were always on hand to answer any questions or help with any issues that came up. Their communication was excellent, and I always felt that the sale was being looked after properly.
A big thank you to everyone at Ryder & Dutton for making what can often be a stressful process feel much easier. I would happily recommend them to anyone looking to sell their property.

TrustpilotComms good but...
There were many issues with Ryder and Dutton in this process. However in their defence they They kept me informed as to the progress of the house sale but there were some major, worrying issues. I had given keys to R&D to allow viewings but on returned to the house following these I found that the back door was still unlocked, the trap to the roof space left open even though it was a terraced house and lights had been left on in the pantry. I had arranged for a charity to clear some of the furniture, initially they said they could come down and supervise then on the day they said they could not but an employee came to the house that afternoon. They stated they could do the same on the second time I tried to get the house cleared - then couldn't. It was a very stressful sale which led to serious medical issues. They sent emails about the progress but in many cases I found them lacking.

We are sorry to hear that you found the sale stressful and that there were occasions where our service fell short of the standard we aim to provide.
We fully appreciate your concern about returning to the property after viewings and finding the back door unlocked, loft hatch left open and lights still on. We take the security of our clients’ properties extremely seriously and we are sorry that this happened.
Regarding the furniture clearance charity, they could not allocate a time slot to us, and asked for us to be there all day to wait for them, which unfortunately was not feasible for us to do.
We are particularly sorry to hear about the impact the sale had on you personally, and we sincerely wish you well for the future.

TrustpilotExceptional service from Catherine Salisbury at Ryder & Dutton!
I recently bought my first home through Ryder & Dutton, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience working with Catherine Salisbury. From start to finish, her communication was exceptional, whether over email or via quick phone calls, she always kept me completely in the loop.
What stood out most was how effectively she managed the entire chain. She stayed on top of every party involved, making sure everyone knew exactly what was needed next to keep momentum going without ever letting things stall.
Most importantly as a first-time buyer, she struck the perfect balance between keeping the deal moving forward and ensuring I never felt rushed or pressured. Friendly, professional, and proactive, I’d highly recommend Catherine Salisbury and the team at Ryder & Dutton to anyone looking to buy or sell!

TrustpilotThe initial valuation was much too high…
The initial valuation was much too high and despite my reservations I was convinced by the agent that this was correct. This meant the sale took much longer than needed and we had to reduce the asking price and then subsequently accept a much lower offer. Once the offer was accepted the Move Manager Catherine Salisbury was very helpful and reassuring, keeping me updated on progress and chasing solicitors.

GoogleNothing but impressive.
I had several options of estate agent to use when selling my property in May 26. An initial visit from Ryder and Dutton ( and others) left me with a clear choice of who i wanted to handle the sale. The initial visit by the branch Manager ( Matthew Clayton) was professional and filled me with confidence , equally recognising the realistic potential i could sell the property at.
Further visits for viewing and photographs were all coordinated efficiently by Mitchell Cust , leaving me feeling i was in good hands.
The proof was also in the pudding, as an offer was received the day after a bulk viewing was arranged. I would 110% recommend Ryder and Dutton if you want to sell your house quickly and with the assurances you have a great team handling the sale of your property . Thank you Matthew , Mitchell and the team for an outstanding service, also for selling my property within hours of the viewing.
