Always dealt with Whitegates with my properties and James, Tom and the team have always been helpful. Not sure where the negative reviews come from! Very easy to slander a company however I couldn’t recommend Whitegates enough!

GoogleThe staff at Whitegates Sefton have been extremely helpful throughout the whole process of selling my family home. From the first initial telephone conversation with Emma, to James coming out we have been kept up to date every step of the way. Would also like to say a big thankyou to Lewis for doing the viewings and providing the feedback! If your looking to sell in L21 or Liverpool for that matter I would strongly advise speaking to Whitegates before anyone else! Thankyou again!

GoogleI have recently just bought a house through white gates! Camron and Tom helped me and got things pushing through! Very friendly and approachable. My only flaw would be the solicitors recommendation I found them super slow and lack of communication between sellers and buyers solicitors which caused a-bit of frustration. But it still went through in a reasonable amount of time after pushing.

GoogleWe would definitely recommend dealing with Tom Simpson if possible, he was helpful when showing us around the property we ended up buying and also along the whole journey. Couldn't have been a smoother process.

TrustpilotJames Lacken
James Lacken, the manager at Whitegates Estate Agents Bootle, impressed me with his proactive approach to managing the sale of my property. Having dealt with people throughout my career, I quickly recognized his genuine nature.
In contrast to my previous experiences with other quick fix agents, James stood out with his refreshing attitude and enthusiasm for ensuring a quick sale. His bright persona left a positive impression, and as the sale progressed, he and his team's genuine effort exceeded my expectations.
What stood out the most was his willingness to be of assistance whenever needed, a quality I found lacking in my previous interactions with estate agents.
Without a doubt, I would choose to work with him again.
James Lacken not only made the entire sale process easy but also remarkably stress-free.

James at the Bootle branch was the reason I decided to sell my house with Whitegates. He was professional, friendly and supportive and went above and beyond; including arranging viewings around my work and personal commitments and answering any queries I had, even outside of working hours! He was sensitive to the fact that the sale was reluctant and at a difficult personal time for me and had my best interests at heart throughout. I have already recommended him, and Whotegates, to others and will continue to do so in the future.
Thank you again for all your help!

GoogleMy daughter and partner were buying their first home. We dealt with Lewis Caffrey who was great. It was a long protracted 6 month completion time that was no fault of Whitegates. Lewis kept everyone up to date and confidently got us all to the finish line. Would definitely buy through them again 👍 …
