GoogleIgnorant and rude. You'll see what I mean. Just visit one of their adverts and then ask yourself would you want them to represent your sale? Nope. Chose a much better agency for our sale. Cockermouth in particular very rude and ignorant with foul attitude and liers and misrepresentation only focused on their fees.£500 upfront? How rude and ignorant.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, Vaughan.
From our records, we’re finding it difficult to understand the circumstances you’re referring to, including the mention of a £500 upfront fee, which is not something we routinely charge or recognise. We always aim to provide a professional and helpful service, and we’re sorry to hear that your experience left you feeling disappointed.
We have made attempts to contact you to discuss this directly but have not yet heard back. We would very much welcome the opportunity to talk through your concerns and clarify any misunderstandings.
Please contact us at your convenience on 01900 829977, and we’ll be happy to discuss this with you.

GoogleWe just moved in to a tenancy with great relief in this starved market, thanks to Grisdales - their brilliant service through Alison and Jessica was friendly and efficient from viewings right through to key in hand. Prompt and helpful replies to queries were a godsend because the third party 'HomeLet' online references page is a combination of easy click box and a refusal to accept jpg or pdf image uploads. All well in the end though thanks to Alison's help. Highly recommended team.

GoogleAlison and the team have been brilliant at helping us find a home to rent. She has been there to answer any of our questions and has made the entire process quick and efficient.

Google⭐☆☆☆☆
Absolutely awful experience. This estate agent clearly does not vet their landlords properly. I was left with a broken toilet for a month, and without a working oven for just as long - completely unacceptable. Communication was poor throughout, and any sense of responsibility was totally lacking. To make matters worse, they’ve since tried to scam me out of my deposit with unjustified claims and zero transparency.
Avoid at all costs if you value your time, money, or basic living standards.
Tyler · 9 April 2025
Agent replied · 21 June 2024
Hi Tyler,
Thank you for sharing your feedback.
Please be assured that we do conduct thorough checks prior to renting out a property to ensure everything is in good condition and fit for purpose. We understand how frustrating it can be when maintenance issues arise, and while it's unfortunate, these situations can happen in any home from time to time.
Working on behalf of the landlord, it’s our responsibility to ensure that tenants have access to essential amenities such as a functioning toilet, and we want to clarify that, in this situation, a further toilet was available. Our maintenance process involves liaising with landlords, contractors, and suppliers to ensure that any necessary repairs are completed in a timely and efficient manner. We accept that there were some delays beyond our control, but we aimed to keep you updated throughout the process.
Deposit deductions are only made when a property is not returned in the same condition as it was at the start of the tenancy, with reasonable wear and tear taken into account. Any suggested costs are always based on quotes from reputable contractors and are directly related to the work required. To ensure fairness to both the tenant and the landlord, we conduct a pre-move-in inventory that details the condition of the property and a further check-out inspection at the end of the tenancy to establish what, if any, adjustments are needed. We always aim for these processes to be fair and transparent, and if any deductions are necessary, they are clearly communicated. We’re always open to discussing any concerns and finding a solution that works for everyone involved.
If you disagree with any charges, the DPS provides an impartial resolution service that offers guidance on how to proceed. We encourage tenants to use this service to ensure a fair and balanced outcome.
We appreciate your feedback and hope this helps clarify the process. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Best regards,
Grisdales

GoogleGrisdales in Cockermouth did a brilliant job in selling our 4 bed house in Bothel.
