The Whitehaven office were horrific…

The Whitehaven office were horrific coveted damp and moldy properties. Conned tenants into tenancy agreements that they did not want. And protected landlords that were unethical, greedy, selfish, manipulative and made a history of tenants life a nightmare. Becky lied repeatedly. Helen wrote reports that were not in line with the law, Daria manipulated tenants into situations that were not what they wanted and Lesley Daly supported it all. AVOID GRISDALE

Destiny managed the sale of a building plot for us and was a delight to deal with. Not only very professional but genuinely interested in our land and in securing the best price from a verified buyer. No issue was too much trouble, from providing extra drone footage to renewing padlocks on the gate, everything was handled swiftly and efficiently. I could not recommend her more highly.

My sale is now agreed, it took about 3 weeks to sell my property, Carolann who was my negotiator from Grisdales was most helpful, keeping me informed of viewings and offers throughout.

Shocking service

Shocking service. Undervalued our house, then told us there was only one party interested (who offered on day it went on market) so we accepted and then they said ‘we’ll now contact the others to say you’ve had an offer and accepted it’. So we never got a chance to see what others would have offered and they never got a chance to have a look - so we lost money twice, undervalued and lied to. We couldn’t really pull out having agreed to the sale

I recently purchased a property from Grisdales Cockermouth and the service i received was fantastic. I dealt with Susan mainly for the sale, her assistance and help was brilliant both before and during the viewing and then during the sale. Will certainly be using Grisdales in the future.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

My experience with Grisdales was through buying a property, the viewing went very well, on time, friendly and knowledgeable, very friendly and professional throughout, I used a solicitor and surveyor they recommended, both of which were top class, if I were selling I would certainly use Grisdales as my No.1 choice, anybody I know who has bought a property always have a problem with the sign never being removed, mine was removed promptly, causing me to walk past my house coming back from the shops, until I got my bearings I looked for the sign to know which was my house!!!

Bad experience with them

Bad experience with them. Me and my Australian wife recently married and planned to settle in the uk. My wife didn't have her visa yet but was assured by the immigration lawyers it will go through. We have a lot of money in the bank from sale of a house which helped with the visa application. Well we found our dream house through Grisdales. It was a rental and exactly what we always wanted. Lovely house in the countryside. Even though Grisdales knew the situation about my wife's visa and the fact it still hadn't come through they proceeded to tell us that out of everyone that applied the house was ours. They even had someone called Goodlord call us offering to set up our council tax and broadband etc because we have been green ticked and have a move in date. Next thing they ask for my wife's biometric code from her visa application. We don't get that until the application goes through. So they wouldn't give us the house until that happens. Even though they knew the circumstances and already offered us the house. We tried to stall it a while because it was still going to take some time for the code to come through. But it got closer to the move in date and we asked could they just put me on the tenancy instead then my wife go back to Australia until we have all the relevant documents and she is allowed to stay there. She wanted to go back and see her family for a few weeks anyway. We even offered the entire 6 months rent and security deposit upfront if it helped. They then proceeded to tell the owner of the house not to let us have it and to put it back on the market. Then lied and told us it was the landlords decision. The landlord already said he was happy with it still if grisdales were because he lets them sort it all out. That way he doesn't have to and gives him security. They make all the decisions for him. And he was happy for us to still move in as long as they were. He liked us. So now we're in Airbnb's longer than we had to be. We had just got back to the uk and was in airbnbs waiting for the property move in date through grisdales, paying upto £500-£600 a week and not looking for another rental because was told we had that one, and now still stuck at airbnbs because of all this. Grisdales have cost us 1000's. Lucky enough we seem to have a new rental lined up for the 18th next month. The Landlord seems nice and has let us put a deposit down so seems good. My wife is still going back to australia for a couple of weeks if everything hasn't come through by then to make sure everything is above board before residing there. But for now we're still stuck in airbnbs till then thanks to grisdales. Very unprofessional and cost us a lot of money unnecessarily

Agent replied · 13 June 2024

Dear Wes, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience or frustration you and your wife experienced during your rental process. We understand that this situation has been challenging, and we would like to provide some clarification to address your concerns. Throughout the rental process, it is common for properties to be offered to applicants subject to referencing and right to rent checks. As a responsible letting agency, we are committed to following the necessary procedures to ensure that all applicants meet the legal requirements for renting a property in the UK. This includes verifying the appropriate visa documentation, such as the required biometric code. In addition, the referencing checks we conduct aim to provide landlords with a comprehensive understanding of prospective tenants. These checks can uncover various factors that may influence the landlord's decision to proceed with an application. It is important to note that our decisions are guided solely by the preferences and instructions provided by the landlords we represent. We strive to maintain transparency and open communication with our clients throughout the entire process. We are glad to hear that you have found a new rental property and that the landlord appears accommodating. We sincerely hope that your future experiences are smooth and hassle-free. Should you have any further concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us directly. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we are committed to addressing any outstanding issues to the best of our ability. Best regards, Grisdales

We recently had the pleasure in successfully purchasing a property which Grisdales acted on behalf of the sellers. As the buyers we were very pleased with the service. From the initial viewing to the subsequent communication and all the way to the key collection, everything was smooth sailing and just how a property sale should go. Thanks for your service and support and the little human touch of a written card congratulating us on our purchased. :-)

Push you towards using an expensive national EPC company, find local cheaper. Did not contact me at all from May completion in August. Did sell within a week but then did I get value for money? Couple of grand spent. Final nail in the coffin, new owners popped some mail into the office to pass it on and Grisedales refused to take it in for us to collect. Not a considerate or helpful company, look someplace else.

Martyn · 22 June 2023

Agent replied · 21 June 2024

Hi Martyn, Thanks for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your recent experience didn’t meet your expectations. It’s great that we were able to achieve an above asking price sale within a week. Our in-house sales progression system means that we are constantly reviewing the progress of all sales during the conveyancing period to ensure they reach completion. We take onboard your feedback regarding communication during this period and are currently developing an online portal which will update our clients when we progress their sale and allow them to track conveyancing milestones 24/7. We’re sorry for any inconvenience caused by the issue surrounding post. The new owner sought to contact you directly rather than leave the mail with us. Because of data protection regulations we weren’t able to facilitate this on the day without gaining your permission. Our EPC package is an opt-in service that is provided by both a local and national company for our sellers’ convenience. Our clients are not restricted to using our partner companies. Again, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We’re constantly striving to be better and your feedback will help us to improve. If you have any further comments or would like to discuss your feedback with us, please do not hesitate to get in touch on cockermouth@grisdales.co.uk / 01900 829977. Many thanks, Team Grisdales
