Stephenson Browne Ltd reviews

★★★★★ 5/5

Well this will be the easiest review I will ever complete as Stephenson Browne made the selling of our property somewhat less stressful and any problems that did arise were dealt with swiftly and in a timely manner. As a first time seller Stephenson and Browne guided me through the process from day one to the very end. Their response to emails was second to none no chasing up for updates. Response was same day or even within the hour. Would I recommend Stephenson Browne without hesitation special mention to Ellie Forrester, Toria Mallaburn, Natasha Walther and Samantha Stone. All of you were friendly, honest and professional throughout, Samantha was especially outstanding dealing with the completion of the sale I look forward to working with you all in the future should I need to buy or sell my property.

Kelly was fantastic. She understood that our home was not your standard beige box and marketed it well to appeal to tenants that would treat it with respect. We've met the tenant and they seem lovely. The process was swift, straightforward and Kelly was always available to talk us through and questions we had.

10/10 for Stephenson Browne (Alsager)

Don't be fooled: Sam is branch manager, but he's seriously hands-on. With a strong feel for the local area, he put together a listing that made our modest property feel a little bit special. If you're looking for arty images à la Cheshire Life, better find another agent, but if you want practical photos that sell real homes, Sam is your man. He's a straight-talking kind of guy, who's happy to stay in touch by phone or email. Sam chased up leads, negotiated hard, and gave us unbiased advice on every genuine (and half-hearted) offer that we got.

Natasha was warm and welcoming when I went into branch to list the property and was very professional booking our appointment for the photographs etc and kept us updated when our property would go on the website. Ellie kept us up to date with viewings and offers and was very professional and helpful

Ellie and Cathy have been so helpful throughout the process of buying my house. They both kept me updated and reassured throughout the whole thing. I would 1000% recommend Stephenson Browne. As a first time buyer they made everything easy and I felt like there were no stupid questions and were happy to help. As a bonus, they have a fantastic sense of humour which is sometimes needed throughout this process. Thank you for all your help!

I have never dealt with Stephenson Brown previously and as an established estate agent myself within Cheshire, I was very impressed!! Being in the business yourself you can still need it all breaking down for you and Stephenson Brown have been very supportive throughout the process thus far!! Particular mention must be made to Toria Mallaburn who is an absolute credit to the company, a calming influence who is extremely hardworking going above and beyond!!

The team is amazing. Great communication. Friendly and understanding. They work hard to get a good outcome. Conscientious, great integrity, and went above and beyond. They helped with the tenant leaving to get viewings done early. As we live a few miles away it was comforting knowing they were close to the property and actively helping. Without a doubt, I would use them again. We could not ask for more. Happy days!

Slumlords and Agents…

We have rented a property from them for just over 4 years now. We were promised prior to moving in that all the weeding in the back garden would be done and the house would be thoroughly cleaned. Also that after 6 months the carpet in the hall, stairs and landing would be replaced, neither were done. When we got the keys and came to the property to move in, the house smelt terrible, complained at the time, nothing was done. The en-suite has always leaked and never been repaired/replaced properly, this also led to mold under the carpet of the adjoining bedroom where are kids were sleeping. We found this out because we replaced the carpet at our own expense in that room due to the smell in there. Again this was reported and nothing was done, I don't think it was even acknowledged. There is damage to the front door, which lets in a draft, again nothing was done. That is just a small snippet of the issues. The central heating, windows, doors, kitchen, bathrooms are all original from when the house was built almost 30 years ago. They tried to increase the rent a couple of months ago, which we disputed legally via tribunal. We advised that if the jobs were done and the house was up to standard we wouldn't mind paying the increase, we even offered the landlady and estate agent to come round, so they could see the issues and come to a resolution. This was not acknowledged and we have heard nothing since. Fast forward to today and we are served with a section 21 notice. The landlady/estate agent has no interest in doing the jobs to the property, and do not care about the tenants. We have never missed a rent payment, and other than the jobs that need doing we have never had any issues or been a problem. They treat people like dirt and think that you are below them.

Poor communication and very little action

Our house purchase has STILL not been completed. There is a VITAL issue regarding land registry, which seems to be ignored or downplayed by both SB and the vendors solicitor. Communication has been and continues to be poor, the same question asked repeatedly; will we exchange and complete before the land registry issue is resolved? NO! I have moved house a number of times in my life and recognise that house moves take time and not all go smoothly, but this is my worst experience! That is taking into consideration that a decade ago I moved back north from London, having to coordinate everything, including a 2 day removal. Thankfully the estate agent in Biddulph stayed open until I could collect the keys and they were very helpful. Matt has helped when Margret has been unavailable and whilst I recognise they are only passing on information given to them by the vendor and or their solicitor, much of this communication is either unclear or later proven to be false. I have sent several emails spelling out what is needed and asking for assistance in passing information over and or obtaining information and action. I might as well have just opened the window and shouted it into the breeze. I write this review STILL waiting for this matter to be resolved so that we could complete our purchase and move in. OUR buyer is champing at the bit and HER buyer is desperate to move before Christmas. ALL now frustrated because of failures between SB and the vendors solicitor. As another reviewer said; SHAME on you!

From the get go S&B have been amazing. Tasha and Ellie were both always friendly and helpful. Tasha was my main point of contact, and she took so much of the stress of moving away for me with her professional manner and quick problem solving skills. I can't thank you enough!

All of the team are consistently AWESOME!

All of the team are consistently lovely, professional, and incredibly helpful. I have had the pleasure of working with Stephenson Browne for over 20 years, and throughout that time their service has never wavered. Even after two decades, I remain genuinely delighted with the support, dedication, and professionalism they provide. Their ability to maintain such high standards year after year is truly commendable and a testament to the strength of their team.

I wanted to say how grateful I am to…

I wanted to say how grateful I am to Matt and his team. Prior to using SB, I had my house on the market with 2 other estate agents from Alsager and neither produced the goods. Matt was very professional from the outset and gave me the confidence that he would do his best for me. He promised to sell it and he did just that. Tip; if you have a property you want to sell in Alsager, don't waste your time with others, just put it on the market with Matt at Stephenson Browne. Steve G.

Easy money

The major work when using a letting agent is when tenants move in or out. This was done very poorly, several contacts in the office were not communicating and simply tasks either done poorly or not at all. i will not be using them again

We can't thank the team at Stephenson Brown enough! The staff went above and beyond for us. We would highly recommend them and we will definitely be returning customers in the future. Their help and communication throughout was brilliant. Selling a property can be such a stressful time but having the support from the team throughout the process made things so much easier for us, they really couldn't do enough for us.

Absolutely disgusted with their service…

Absolutely disgusted with their service in the Alsager branch. Their manager Margret is only bothered about the "sale" and earning commission rather than the impact that she has of families not keeping them updated with the purchase of a property. I would NEVER recommend and I would rather knock on the door of a property that was advertised by them and approach directly. Shame on you Margret!!!
