Whitegates are nothing but a pleasure to deal with. Professional from start to finish. Could not fault any dealings I have had with them over the years, especially with my recent property sale where the staff communication was efficient and I was kept updated regularly throughout in the friendliest of manners from all. Highly recommend 5*

GoogleAmazing service! Had an offer on my house in a week, couldn’t of been more helpful! They know how stressful and emotional it is trying to sell and buy a property and they helped me in everyway they could! Nothing was too much for them! Fantastic service, would definitely recommend and use again!

I contacted whitegates earlier on this year to talk about potentially putting our property on the market. After a previous move fell through at the start of the year and what can only be described as a shambles of a process with another estate agents I was very against trusting another estate agent.

James and WhiteGates have been fantastic through the process of selling our home. Couldn’t recommend them more highly. Professional and down to earth. Open and transparent with fees, and the entire process step by step has been made easier with their guidance. Happy to help whenever we have asked. Five stars!

FacebookDREADFUL! Would rate them zero if it was an option. Had a valuation appointment. Didn't turn up. No contact. We rang them. Big apologies from John Cliffe and James. Big promises, arranged another appointment. DIDNT turn up again! Four phone calls to John Cliffe, the manager. He wouldn't answer the phone or reply to messages or emails. Totally useless. Finally, one of his staff rang back. NO contact from the manager. Avoid like the plague!
