I highly recommend Michael. If you have sold properties before and been frustrated by your chosen estate agent then you need to appoint him. He knows his market and offers wise counsel - estate agents we asked before appointing him priced the house in a range of over £100k on a £350k house - Michael's estimate was the closest (and v close) to what we actually sold for. He is proactive during the process, calls back when he says he will - and will go the extra mile if you need him to (we were selling a property a long way away from us so were totally reliant on him for viewings, key exchanges etc etc). The whole experience has been an absolute breath of fresh air. I am selling another property at the moment in the midlands and only wish he could do that one for me as well (as it currently lumbers along with one of the "big" names!!).

Selling these days is stressful, no getting away from it unfortunately. Michael, Simon and his team are fantastic. From initially visiting us to value our property to exchange of contracts, Michael made the process run as smoothly as possible, from doing most of the viewings himself to chasing solicitors and other agents within the chain when needed near completion. He always stays calm and reassuring. We made the right choice going with them to sell our home. We'd certainly use again if they widened their net to Lancashire! Thanks guys

The worst estate agent to deal with. Lies to your face, neglects problems, Takes your deposit, doesn't clean the house before you move in. We were paying £2600 a month in rent and the majority of the time we had no heating. Michael owns the estate agents and shows a consistent bias to his friend who is also the landlord. 0 professionalism, wouldn't ever deal with them again. At the end of it, has the cheek to say it wasn't cleaned when we left. You tell me how you would feel if you moved into a house and this was the condition.......

Dear Adam, Unfortunately this is not the place to air your grievances which, by the way, are completely baseless. We have never lied to you and we have always conducted ourselves professionally despite the issues we had with you as a tenant during your occupancy. I have written to you with our end of tenancy report detailing dilapidations, missing furniture and rent arrears, and on both occasions you were asked to come forward with your proposal to settle the matter, but you thought it more appropriate to write this review. I am sure most sensible people will see this review for what it is.

Michael was brilliant throughout the buying process. He kept me up to date in his friendly way. Was a pleasure to work with and tried to keep as much of the stress away from me as possible. A pleasure to work with. Would definitely use again

Michael recently handled the sale of a property for us. He was friendly, professional and very personable throughout the whole process. He went out of his way to help us in every way regarding the sale. Would definitely recommend Walker Smale.

Superb estate agent

Michael was a fantastic estate agent and took care of everything from getting a leak fixed, to signing off the work of a decorator, to carrying out the weekly insurance check. He took care of my empty property for me until I was ready to put it on the market, and then sold it for my asking price within a week! He was a friendly and effective communicator throughout the whole process and I would thoroughly recommend this estate agent.

Sale of Ordesa in Burley in Wharfedale

We dealt mainly with Michael Smale but all the people we dealt with were superb! All queries answered quickly and we were impressed with the knowledge and quick response when we needed anything. Michael in particular was fabulous from the initial visit through to marketing our house and then negotiating a sale price that was better than we could have hoped for. Michael’s prompt advice at all times was spot on and I could not recommend Michael and his team more highly!

Fantastic Speedy Service

We asked Walker Smale to sell our property in two weeks! We had an offer accepted on a property providing we were under offer ourselves within two weeks. Walker Smale exceeded my expectations, within 24 hours of instructing them we had a sign up, provisional listings on Rightmove and Walker Smale's website and the photos booked. Michael was fantastic, he had a huge list of potential buyers that were interested in our property. The speed that Walker Smale managed to get our property listed was amazing (I hadn't even had time to tell my family and friends we were moving). Michael provided daily updates of the progress and advice on our onward purchase - I couldn't fault them. I would highly recommend Walker Smale for their personal and speedy service.

We would highly recommend Michael and the team at Walker Smale. Being new landlords we didn’t know what to expect but Michael and Karen guided us through the process, kept us up to date and made everything so simple and stress free. The marketing material and virtual tours they did were amazing. We will certainly be using them again in the very near future.
