I was very impressed with the sensitive way in which the sales team from Grisdales (particularly Judith and Carolann) dealt with the sale of mum's bungalow. They arranged effective marketing and agreed a good price. Queries were dealt with quickly and were we kept informed at all stages of the process. I was also pleased with the recommendation of Bendles solicitors, since they also handled the sale with sensitivity and efficiency. I would certainly recommend Grisdales (Cockermouth) to others.

We have recently purchased a property with Grisdales. I would like to say how amazing they were during the whole process. Especially Scott Freeman-Wooding. Scott was incredible from start to finish. Nothing was ever too much trouble, even accommodating extra visits so we could take our autistic son. We will be forever ever grateful for his kindness, compassion and going the extra mile for us, his hard work has been life changing for us. I would recommend Scott to anyone. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much, Claire. It means a great deal that you've taken the time to share this. We're so pleased Scott was able to support you throughout such an important milestone, and we'll be sure to pass your lovely comments on to him. Wishing you and your family every happiness as you settle into your new home.

Thank you to the Cockermouth team on the sale of our property, subject to contract. I would like to mention the two people who we had contact with, namely Carolann and Judith. They have been very professional and answer questions quickly with good knowledge. I would definitely recommend and use again. I’m now adding to my review because the contracts have now been exchanged and I would give 5 stars again. Carolann has been amazing. She kept in touch all through the process and offered support and advice when we needed it. Thank you so much

Amazing images taken of property very friendly and professional lady. Gentleman conducting veiwings was late for most of them. Notifications for vewings booked for wrong property. Offer accepted communicated well, then after that the communication was very very poor, absolutly no updates given at anytime, i was calling in to update my contact, 2 days called message left no contact from anyone, my purchase esate agaent was ringing me with updates on the sale of my property, which is not what i antisipated when Grisedales were reccomended, exchanged again no cotact made apart from email with details on the service you, i imagine you offer everyone with help with changing address details which i did not take any further as was sent 2 days after exchange and i had already started the process, day of completion no call to say completed, just a call about 3 hours later to ask what i was doing with keys. All in all a very poor service in my opinion and i would not use or reccomend.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, Sara-Jayne. We're pleased to hear that you were happy with the photography and found the team friendly and professional. We understand there was a mix up between two similarly named properties, which was corrected as soon as it came to light. We also recognise that there was one occasion where the viewer took longer than expected to locate the property, and we apologise for any frustration this may have caused. Moving home comes with many moving parts and clear communication is very important, so we're disappointed to hear that you felt updates were lacking at certain points. During exchange, there was a short delay in our communication which unfortunately meant other parties were able to provide updates before we could, and we regret that this contributed to a less smooth experience. On completion day, we were notified by the solicitors that funds had been sent mid-morning, and that they had cleared, therefore confirming completion, just after midday. We called an hour later to verbally confirm completion and discuss the keys, followed by written confirmation shortly afterwards. We’re sorry this didn’t feel as prompt as it should have. You also mentioned the email we sent regarding moving support. This can only be offered once exchange has taken place, though we understand it may have felt slightly out of sync if you’d already started making arrangements. Your feedback has been shared internally so we can continue improving how we keep clients updated during the sale. We do appreciate you choosing us to handle your sale and wish you all the very best in your new home.

My son was buying his first house we worked with Carolann throughout the purchase of the house. Carolann gave him all the help and support he needed and he was kept up to date with everything which made the purchase run smoothly thanks again

Carolann and the team have been sensitive to the fact we are selling a family home following the death of our mother and have been proactive and kept us informed at every step. We cannot fault the professionalism and expertise provided to date and would recommend Grisdales to anyone looking to buy or sell locally 😊 …

Start to finish Grisdales have been exceptional. They came to our home and valued it as i would of expected it to of been worth. All though they didn't market my property as I had 3 offers privately and excepted one, I would of marketed it with Grisdales if that had not been the case. Moving on from that the house i found and wanted to buy was marketed by Grisdales and from the start there attention to detail was impeccable. My offer was accepted, I had excellent communication from the office namely a lady called Carol-Anne, very friendly, professional and personable which i find rare these days. I have now viewed the property 3 times with various family members and its never an issue. There service is outstanding and there a credit not only to the company/brand but also themselves. Really Really Impressed with this team Kind Regards Jamie Smitham

We are in the process of buying our first home and had the pleasure of purchasing through Carolann at Grisedales. Carolann has been fantastic, she is very knowledgeable and always happy to answer any questions we have had. We have really appreciated all of her help and have now been passed onto another team as we progress through the sale. Thank you again Carolann for making this process so easy for us!

January/February 2026. Just re-rented out our delightful two bedroom property using Grisdales Cockermouth. Great marketing, smooth seamless systems three viewings and three tenant acceptances in the same day. Swift translation of interest into a letting agreement and keys handed over in four days. Really great non nonsense service. Thank you Alison!

What can I say! Cockermouth girls you are amazing, at what was a very sad time for myself and my sister putting our late mothers home up for sale you all made us at ease and valued. The sale wasn’t quite straightforward, despite this Carolann and Laura went over and above what they should of to ensure we were fully updated and to get the sale moving along, literally right up to the minute we exchanged and completed. I would highly recommend Grisdales. Thank you all.

Looking round an older property with Debs

Debs showed us round a property in early May. During the initial phone-call to arrange the visit, she showed exceptional flexibility in arranging a time and date that would work for us. During the visit itself, we valued in particular her advice on next steps for an older property as we were very inexperienced in this area. We decided not to make an offer for this property as it wasn't best suited to us but we were confident that had we wanted to proceed, Debs would have helped us every step of the way. We also appreciated her more general advice on buying and renting properties.

Alison · 28 May 2026

Agent replied · 1 June 2026

We’re really pleased Debs was able to help and make the process feel straightforward for you. It’s great to hear the viewing helped give you a clearer idea of what you’re looking for moving forward. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience, Alison, and best of luck with the next steps in your search.

In the Whitehaven office the task of finding a suitable tenant was conducted in the most professional way by Yoana Anghel she kept me informed all through the usual process which I greatly appreciated, I would have no hesitation in recommending her to take care of your particular needs a most valuable employee to Grisdales and a credit to her profession.

Alison and the team at Grisdales Cockermouth were really helpful when I was looking for a rental property. From arranging viewings, to picking up the keys (over the Christmas period) everything went very smoothly - aided by a very efficient IT system!! I would highly recommend them.

I want to thank the team at Grisdales - Cockermouth for all of their hard work in listing and bringing a deal to me under such strange circumstances. My family has owned this property for some time and I inherited the property recently. Without ever stepping foot in the property I listed it and sold it over Christmas with Grisdales expertise. As I live in Canada this was all accomplished by email but I felt connected to it the whole time. Thank you Judith for the efforts you put into the marketing it showed. And Carolann thank you for finding the most suitable buyer. I truly appreciate the efficient and effective manner in which the team at Grisdales - Cockermouth handled everything for me. I would highly recommend Grisdales Estate Agents- Cockermouth to anyone looking for the most professional representation in the Lake District.

We found our home through Grisedales and everything was really easy, we were able to view the property multiple times and at weekends too. The team could not have been better with us especially when we had a bit of hold up from solicitors they helped us chase that as timescales from solicitors were a little longer than expected. Would definitely recommend to use them and suggest looking at properties listed by them, we were able to find our perfect home within our location and budget! We feel so lucky to be back in the location we want to be!

We could not be happier with the service and kindness we have received from the team at the Cockermouth office. Carolann and Laura have been extremely attentive, knowledgeable and friendly throughout the purchase of our new home. We had a bit of a disaster with a previous property but due to the efficiency of Grisdales, we were determined to buy a house from them, so we viewed one and it was our forever home! Thank you to the entire office at Cockermouth, but especially Carolann and Laura.

Grisdales were able to help us secure a new home to rent for re-location to the UK. Other estate agents were unable to help us due to the extra difficulties involved in such a move. Alison Scurr made the whole process easy for us and solved any issues that we encountered along the way and was always reassuring. In addition all other staff members that I spoke with were both friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend Grisdales.

Great Service from the Whitehaven Team.

I have recently had to move at short notice, the Whitehaven Grisdales team as always were super efficient, helpful and caring, All the Whitehaven team are great but Daria and Beckie who helped me find a lovely new place to rent are worthy of special mention as they guided me to the property most suitable for my needs. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they were always there to answer my many property questions and queries. Daria went out of her way to print off pages and documents of various properties for me; even though she was obviously very busy. The main thing is that I feel like a valued tenant with Grisdales, this is not always the case with some other letting agents. Thank you WH team.

Excellent service and quick to respond to request for market appraisal of my property. Nicola was the complete professional, friendly and well informed about the area so able to suggest a clear marketing strategy if I was to go ahead with sale. Also offered advice on what would be required (or not) in order to achieve the best for the property. Still deciding whether to go ahead, but would be more than to use their services or recommend.
