Dishonest and unprofessional

We drove over 250 miles to view a house listed for let @ £900. We said we like it and were happy to proceed, after all similar properties down south cost £1000 a month….We were absolutely shocked when they got back to us, offering us the house for £1000 because they knew we could afford it… we were aghast! I have never ever encountered such skullduggery and dishonesty…. Of course we declined… how can one deal with such a dishonest estate agent as these!

Wow, moved house 7 times now and never experienced the level of service provided by Hunters. Professional from beginning to end. Communication and customer service is second to none. Realistic valuation and quick response by Robert. Amazing support the whole way through, friendly, professional and determined service from Zack. Fantastic, quick and informative completion with Laura who went above and beyond expectations. A truly competent, efficient team that absolutely know their sector. I really wouldn’t consider any other estate agent in the future. Thanks to the Hunters “team” I quite enjoyed this move.

Excellent service from start to finish. Robert gave the house a great valuation and explained the process of selling the property. I had terrific feedback and support from Hunters staff throughout. The first people to view the house, bought it. The sale was then taken over by Ashleigh, who also was a great support to me. Our family home for 66 years is now home to a new generation and hoping they have a great life living there as we did. I would recommend Hunters to anyone buying or selling a property.

Very helpful and patient.

Very helpful, kind and considerate.We have just moved into our new home after lots of ups and downs which started with the Covid lockdown. Without going into detail we had a lot of problems with our respective buyers and sellers. Hunters at Pocklington were so supportive, patient and understanding and were with us at every step. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

found out about hunters from getagent on face book, I was happy with the selling price and valuation. they did all the viewings, kept me informed of bookings, dates, feed back and found a buyer in 2 weeks. They also helped me with the ECP. Very satisfied all round with the service.

Hunters Horncastle:

Hunters Horncastle:If you are looking for an EA who keeps you updated and informed then I would NOT use Hunters, if you want the privilege of paying for doing your own work then by all means use this EA, also if you want to feel as though the EA is acting on behalf of the buyer instead of the seller… this is the one for you!!! They say the right things to get the initial business and then offer bad advise and never any follow up or conversations about the state of the market during contract period, even when requested. Also emails and WA messages were ignored. Worst Estate Agent I’ve ever used. It seems that Katherine (who did the viewings) and Susan (admin) seem to hold them just above water and do all the donkey work. Just my honest opinion!! Would have given zero rating if possible

Hunters is, without a doubt, the best estate agency we've ever worked with. They are exceptionally dedicated, highly skilled, and, above all, extremely communicative. I truly cannot recommend them enough. They are precisely the type of estate agency you want! Amazing!

I was buying a house through hunters

I was buying a house through hunters, wasn’t the best experience in the world. When it came to getting the keys from the bishop Auckland office, I was told to wait outside in the cold for 15 minutes, then presented with 1 key by itself, there was no congrats on your first home or any welcome gifts or anything, just here’s your key, see you later 👍🏼😂 got into the house, it wasn’t clean, the kitchen had been flooded which warped all the kitchen floor which I then had to pay to get it sorted. They should have done a check once the owners were out the house in order to make sure it was in a fit state and as seen on the viewings. I’ve since rented out houses around that area and stayed well clear of hunters, I would never use them again after the experience I had with them.

Valuation and extension options - excellent service

We contacted Hunters to explore our property options, particularly around extending our home, and to better understand both current and future values. From the outset, the service we received was exceptional.

Fantastic service from start to finish. Many thanks to all of the Barnsley branch staff, particularly Zack, Daniel and Ashleigh. Nothing was too much trouble for any of them and their professional and friendly approach made all aspects of the transactions easy and stress free. I would definitely recommend Hunters and most definitely this particular branch to anyone. An honest and straight forward company

I cannot praise Hunters enough for the valuable assistance and advice afforded me when I was relocating to Barnsley from Devon. As is often expected in buying and selling especially over a long distance the path was a bit rocky and the successful outcome was in the main due to Laura keeping me informed of the progress of my purchase and giving me sound advice as to the steps to take with the selling of my property in Devon, especially after a buyer pulled out a good way through the process. To be honest I received more advice and assistance from Laura than I did from the Estate Agent I was paying in Devon , so a big thanks folks for getting me home :) Friendly, approachable, professional throughout and highly recommended.

I would like to thank 4sale2u for their professionalism and perseverance when selling my property. Where many other companies would have likely settled for delays and the inevitable hurdles Shawn and Zack were extremely supportive and pushed for a result. This was particularly important as I am based outside Yorkshire so needed a efficient, holistic and trustworthy service. I wish them all the best in the future.

Hunters -Ealing

Hunters -Ealing Friendly professional, I can’t thank Steve enough. The time, energy and commitment, he was the bridge between both my solicitor and the buyers and was 100% committed. Everything went through Smoove and this was due to Steve and Hunters-Ealing. I have recommended them to other sellers and they will be always highly recommended by me

Hunters were excellent from start to finish. From the first valuation with Robert which was spot on, to Adam's constant hustling to arrange viewings, Laura's tireless work to drive the progression, to Zack's professionalism to help close matters off at the end. If you're reading this wondering which estate agent to use like I was a few months ago - choose Hunters!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Last year in November i sold my house with Hunters. Due to reasons beyond my control the sale process was not as easy as anticipated however the reassurance and professionalism from hunters where outstanding. I went with hunters theough word or mouth and i have already recommended Hunters to friends who i know are selling or thinking of selling their property. They are an amazing team and so friendly. Thankyou ladies for making a difficult situation so bareable. We got there in the end.

Just don't use this Estate Agent

Just don't use this Estate Agent. And really don't use them to do an Inventory. They made so many errors we had to almost redo it ourselves. They missed the Fridge Freezer. Washing machine and Dishwasher in the Kitchen. They said there was a white wooden wardrobe in the bathroom, there isn't I could go on and on. I have asked for a refund but of course not heard anything!

Their inefficiency made me lose a living place

This is how I kept urging the agent to follow up & how their inefficiency made me lost a living place in Sep.I viewed the flat on 4th Aug and paid holding deposit on the same date. My offer was accepted on 7th Aug. When Hunters and Homelet spend more than one month for my reference check and preparation of lodger agreement, I kept asking them when I can sign the contract and so I can transfer 6 month upfront rent and deposit.On 7th Aug, I tried to enter my details of reference check on the same date. However, the system had bug. Hunters staff helped me enter the details with their internal systems in the following day, although there are some typo of my job and address reference.Perhaps because of the miscommunications among 2 parties, Homelet refused to do reference check for me as they have not yet got the approval from Hunters. With numerous e mail I requested Hunters to fix it, Homelet started sending e mails to my manager and current landlord for reference check on 15th Aug.On 17th Aug, Hunters staff asked me to pay 6-month upfront rent and deposit by e mail without sending me the lodger agreement. I promised them to make the payment when they send me the contract and contract is signed.On 25th Aug, I received the lodger agreement finally after several requests. I raised some questions in the e mail in order to shorten the time for them to answer me during our future meeting of contract signing.On 6th Sep, another Hunters staff invited me to go to their office and sign the contract on the following day. I gave her my questions again for her better preparation. On 7th Sep, that staff said meeting date had to be changed. She answered my questions very briefly. Perhaps she is not familiar with the letting issues of the flat, I simply said I will ask others when I move in. I tried to ask when we meet and sign the contract. She did not reply.On 8th Sep, another Hunters staff told me that the landlord decided to accept another offer. The studio is no longer available in the market. He asked me to state my bank details and they will refund the holding deposit. I once thought the landlord must keep bidding for a higher rental price.I must move out before 23rd Sep as official move out notice was given to the current landlord. During resume of finding rental place, I found the flat in Zoopla again with rental price unchanged.Later I found the staff of the landlord and told the landlord what’s really happening. The landlord felt so sorry & decided to give me viewings of 3 other studios. However, the size and location do not suit my need.

Hunters provided a fair service throughout trying to sell our property. Unfortunately we had no interest from the beginning of the year so decided to part exchange instead. When speaking to them for the duration they were always friendly, Daniel especially. I would say the only bad points we can give are the lack of floor plans which were missed off our online listing, we didn’t notice this until we were advised by one of the part-ex valuers. This I feel missed our key selling point of a specious 3 bed end terrace. Also the lack of our ‘four weekly reviews’ after the initial one, although I’m not sure what else we could have done differently.

We went to Hunters, Barnsley, after 2 unproductive months with an Internet agent. We were buying from Hunters so thought we would sell too so as to keep everything under one roof. Within 1 week the house was sold! Proof that you get what you pay for. From Robs first visit to value our house, (fair valuation, not internet over-valuation), to Daniels negotiations, Laura's administration and Zachs management, the whole team were fantastic. This is a small team but they really looked after us. Special mention must go to Laura who had to manage an abnormally lengthy chain for a 12 week period! This seemed painless to me, but I suspect she shielded us from the various problems throughout and I always found this professional, young woman to be a comfort I could always rely on! Yes there are cheaper, Internet alternatives. Yes some traditional agents charge less than 1.44%, some charge more! For me if you want a personable, professional team to look after you Hunters Barnsley are the answer. Would definitely use again!
