I wanted to reach out to share my recent experience with White Gates Services, as I had heard many positive reviews about Whitegates. Unfortunately, my experience has not reflected the high standard of professionalism I was led to expect. Throughout my time as a client, I’ve found it difficult to receive consistent updates or follow-up communications, even after repeated assurances from white gates team. Commitments to update me were often unfulfilled, which has impacted my confidence in your service. I believe that strong communication is essential to building positive client relationships. I hope this feedback is helpful and encourages more reliable communication in the future, as I genuinely wanted my experience to be as positive as others have found.

Great communication i spoke with Fiona to book the viewing and have the documents sent over and she was lovely, the gentleman who showed us the property was friendly and happy to answer any questions we had.

Do not use these guys . Nothing but a scam . I lost morthan £1500 only to he given a property full of mice dropping and dump. As well as broken kitchen . I will shortly upload pictures and videos too of that property

Asif · 20 December 2025

Agent replied · 24 December 2025

Dear Asif, as you are aware the mice dropping were under a kitchen unit and were historic from 2020, we still instructed a contractor who swept them up and confirmed no new infestation. The Landlord agreed the kitchen indeed was dated and agreed to replace it for you, in May 2025. Despite this you vacated the property within a month of the start date, due to what you said was an emergency abroad, without fulfilling your contractual obligations. I presume your 1 star review is because you have recieved the DPS Independant Adjudicators decision to, NOT uphold your dispute and award your Bond in full to the Landlord.

Giving 1 star rating because 0 isn't an option.. 1 is being too generous... I will never recommend this company to sell a property with. As a first time seller, we would have expected the right advice to be provided when selling a property. We had only hired whitegates, as we purchased the same property with them so they already had the previous history. We had Whitegates come to our property for a valuation. It felt as if we were in control as it seemed like, the price we wanted, would be in our hands. Nothing was realistic. We did state that we wanted a faster sale (Like anyone would) and was offered to put our beautifully presented property on auction. This option should never had been presented to us in the first instance. We had contacted 5+ local estate agents while the property was on market, and they all stated that our property was not an auction property. After this huge mistake of signing the contract, I am now stuck for weeks ahead before I can do anything. Whitegates had 'booked' many viewings in for our property, 6 of what we know, but we were told there were a total of 9.. where only 1 customer had physically attended the property, 1 attended viewing in a total amount of 16 calender days.. to note, there was another property on the same street as ours, which was marketed 1 day prior to ours and had 10+ offers within 2-3 days and was SSTC within 5 business days (different estate agents). That property went over asking price, and since then I was told that for ours 'It wasn't too bad'. What a shambles. Now I understand that when a company like whitegates tries to offer you an auction route of selling a property, they let their partner agent do all the hard work, while Whitegates sit back and relax and take 50% of the profits IF the property sells, doesnt matter to them how long it takes.. Would not recommend.

G · 8 October 2024

Agent replied · 25 September 2024

Dear GS, I'm sorry you decided to give us a 1 Star Review. James discussed all the options available to you to market your property. You elected to go down the Auction route and signed a contract direct with the Auction Company. It would apprear you have now changed your mind. We would be more than happy then and now to market the property for sale by Private Treaty.

Brilliant customer service, something that cannot be said for a lot of estate agents in the locality. The lady (Fiona) I spoke to was a good communicator and effectively answered my queries and sent me the required documentation quickly . Great service and thank you.

Ian, Sam and their team have handled the management of four of my properties since 2004. They are professional, courteous, hard working and have only ever sought to provide the best service possible for me and my tenants. Even when handling disputes they treat both sides with respect and seek a fair outcome. There have been occassions when they have gone so much further than the extra mile, for example, when dealing with legal matters or a block insurance issue. I'd have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone thinking of working with a letting agent. I think some of the reviews posted are from people who either haven't worked with them or are simply out to make mischief.

Karl · 20 March 2018

Agent replied

Hi Karl, How time fly's..! I do remember our 'tricky' case, although its a few years back now. Sam is on a mission to sort the block insurance claim out for you, it has driven her to almost distraction but she has the bit between her teeth and will see it resolved. A Letting Agents job, is to make things run as smoothly as possible. Collect the rent, maintain the property to a good let-able standard, conduct works or repairs in a timely and cost effective manner and minimize voids. I do also think that when things get tough, that's when you need your Agent to stand up and be counted. I do believe this is what we genuinely do. I do appreciate you business over the last 12+ years, as well as your review and rating. Many thanks and kind regards. Ian

Absolutely fantastic! I highly recomend the team in Bradford. A special thank you to Gail, she speaks fluent Mortgage Broker and she without a doubt saved us weeks of back and forth. In constant communication throughout the process. The team was very accomodating with requests (e.g allowing me to book in kitchen fitters before my move in date at short notice). Keep up the great work!

I'm absolutely distraught at some the reviews and the overall rating as it stands. However I don't know if some are from actual clients which is worrying. I set up the business Google account years ago and I did not know how to respond to reviews as my 'social media skills' have been somewhat lacking. I will be asking genuine clients to add reviews to give a true reflection of Me, Whitegates and my Team. Regards Ian

Top Service !

I have been dealing with Whitegates for under 2 weeks and I must say Abi Clayton has given me 10/10 service. She has been extremely helpful and made sure I am on top of everything. i have messaged her at out of hours to which she hasn't minded. I would recommend Abi to anyone who wants to buy a property as she wastes no time without accomplishing the task.

At whitegates estate agents, Gale Wood and Max Oakland were so brilliant, efficient and proffesional and extremely helpful in the process of me buying a property. Everytime I needed some questions answered they were always there to help me. I would recommend them two to everyone because they are such nice people to deal with.

Avoid this estate agent. Worst experience of my life by renting property through them. Worst staff they just want to steal money from your deposit by making false claims.. Avoid renting this property through them 53 penny hill drive BD14 6NH. The landlady of this house make your life hell though her racist friend living next door to this house. I lived in this property for 7.8 yrs throughout this time I was continuously harassed, threatened by Annabel Myers (works at Whitegates ), landlady and her friend living next door of 53 penny hill drive and Whitegates failed to resolve any issues I was facing. They treat you like a rent prisoners and tried to controlled you. Soon I will be posting all the communications I had with this estate agent on different social media channels. I am also reporting them to trading standards and property ombudsman.

Dear ‘Emraan’ I am extremely concerned to read your review, which I believe to be wholly inaccurate and potentially libelous. We as well as your landlord are disappointed that you have chosen to disregard the tenancy agreement you signed and vacate the property mid term and not face up to your responsibilities. I further note your comments “I do agree that the property needs professional cleaning, I wanted to to get it done but we were in rush”. I will be in touch further directly. Regards. Ian
