Trustpilot⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5-Star Review
Janine was absolutely outstanding in helping us sell my father’s property through auction. From start to finish, she guided us with professionalism, care, and genuine dedication. She kept me informed at every stage of the process, ensuring I always knew exactly what was happening and what to expect.

TrustpilotWhat an excellent experience!
What an excellent experience! From the first day Jason from the Jarrow Branch came to value my home, offering his expert advice, getting the house on the market and multiple offers in the first day, everything has went smoothly. Emily and the rest if the team kept in regular contact and were always available to answer the questions of an anxious seller.

TrustpilotSelling by auction was an excellent choice for us
We would like to thank everyone at Pattinson's, especially Caitlin and Michael, for their friendly and professional service during the recent sale of our holiday cottage. We were looking for a reasonably quick "hassle free" sale but did not want to compromise on the price. We were advised "secure sale" by auction would be the best option for us, and although we were initially wary due to unfamiliarity with the process, we decided to give it a go. The whole process, from our first contact with Pattinson's to exchange of contracts, took no more than 5 weeks. Everything happened very quickly on the auction day and the bids rapidly increased from a relatively low starting point, finally comfortably exceeding our expectations before the hammer fell. And at that point, contacts are exchanged and the sale is legally binding for both parties, so there is no worry about the buyer pulling out. We would certainly use this method of sale again, and would trust Pattinson's to manage it.

TrustpilotHoughton branch- would recommend!
We’ve just sold our home through Pattinson Houghton and we couldn’t fault them at all. We had multiple viewings straight away and sold the property for higher than asking price. We spoke to various members of the team through the sale but special mention to Dan who came to value the property and and got the sale live, Carole who we sold the property through within a week and Lauren who has kept us updated throughout the process. Couldn’t recommend enough!

I cannot speak highly enough of Maurice from Pattinsons who was the true protagonist in my recent property purchase through auction. From the very beginning, it was evident that his leadership skills were par excellence. His professionalism shone through in every interaction, ensuring that the entire process was handled with precision and care.Maurice took charge of the situation with a calm and strategic approach, demonstrating a deep understanding of the auction process and guiding the team with expertise. He was instrumental in securing the property, making certain that every aspect was managed seamlessly and with unwavering attention to detail. His proactive nature, combined with a genuine dedication to client success, instilled confidence and made the experience a positive one.Without a shadow of a doubt, Maurice was the driving force behind the successful outcome. His exceptional leadership and commitment to excellence set a standard that is hard to match. I am very grateful for his efforts and would recommend him to anyone looking for an estate agent who embodies professionalism and skill at the highest level.

TrustpilotA Positive House Moving Experience
I have had a very positive experience with Pattinsons. I rang on a Saturday morning for an appointment and Daniel arrived on Monday at 1pm. By Tuesday my house was marketed with excellent photographs and a steady stream of viewings. Within little more than a week it had been sold. I found Daniel and the staff professional, helpful and knowledgeable. I also found Lucy Briscoe at Core Legal very efficient. I’ve had a positive outcome as my house has completed within 8 weeks. I would recommend Pattinsons and would certainly use them again in the future should I require another move.

TrustpilotNot interested unless you're selling soon
Contact was great at the start but that's all I can say. Incredibly poor communication between their own staff and the people who have been in touch have essentially ghosted me, they're not interested because I'm not selling soon despite being told someone would call me back/send the free valuation I requested. When chased, I got an incredibly short message from a Miss Pattinson (I really hope not related to owners) to say she was out of office, essentially not wanting anything to do with it. Outstanding service and experience with another competitor though.

We put are house on the market with pattersons in January and not many viewings. It was also on market with another agent who did sell it. Seemed ok with feed back from the 2 viewings we got from them but maybe it was due to other agent selling it for us we didn't get alot from them.

Booked viewing appointments through Linda in the Blyth branch. All went to plan, the ones Linda conducted went smoothly and the ones with homeowners were great too. I visited one property on 11th Oct; had a second viewing on 13th Oct; offered on it 14th Oct and sale was agreed quickly. Linda is friendly, helpful, efficient and professional - a pleasure to deal with. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a property!

TrustpilotAbsolutely awful service cramlington branch
Cramlington Office - Awful Customer ServiceI recently rented a property through this branch. They were unprofessional, lacking empathy and didn’t seem to know what they were doing. I was messed around a number of times when it finally got to the day I was told I would 90% chance be moving on. They hadn’t checked any references and I didn’t even up getting keys til 3pm. With 3 very young kids I did start to worry that I wouldn’t have anywhere to sleep as I had packed up most of my belongings. Yet they couldn’t have cared less and clearly didn’t want to help. Especially Katherine - she needs some training on customer service. Considering her job is customer facing.

TrustpilotDreadful
Dreadful experience with this company. Be very careful before you sign any kind of contract with them. I have, in effect, just had to pay them £10,000 for their minimal input in failing to secure a sale of my late father's property. Legally within their rights, but ethically and morally bankrupt.

We are sorry to hear that you feel your experience with us did not meet your expectations.
Our auction agreements clearly set out the circumstances in which a fee may become payable by a vendor, including where a sole selling rights agreement is in place and a buyer introduced to a property through our marketing subsequently goes on to purchase that property. These provisions are intended to ensure that vendors are aware from the outset of the terms of their agreement and any potential fees that may arise.
We aim to be as clear and transparent as possible throughout the auction process, including in relation to buyers introduced through our marketing and the contractual arrangements that apply. Where a fee is applicable, this is determined by the terms of the signed agreement and the circumstances surrounding the subsequent sale.
We appreciate that every transaction is different and are sorry that you have been left feeling dissatisfied with your experience. We take concerns of this nature seriously and would always welcome the opportunity to discuss any outstanding points directly, particularly where there may be further information that could help clarify the position if this has not been raised already.
Please contact us directly on reviews@pattinson.co.uk Our team will be happy to review any points that may not already have been addressed and ensure that your feedback is reviewed.

We sold a property and used their recommended solicitors... A big mistake. In the main Pattinson people are helpful... but why would they recommend Bridge view law who were the worst solicitors we have ever dealt with.?... Interestingly a look at Trust pilot would definitely make you NOT use Pattinson recommended lawyers.. so think carefully before you are persuaded by Pattinson to do this.... They told me they are very used to auctions and as such very professional... NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH. The auction experience was not great... On balance I would not recommend it. Use your own solicitor and sell by a high street agency.

We’re sorry to hear that you have found the level of contact frustrating.
As part of our protocol, we follow up with customers who have shown an interest in properties, with the aim of understanding their requirements and helping them find their dream property. As we have multiple branches working across the area, this can sometimes result in contact from more than one branch, particularly when enquiries have been made through central property portals such as Rightmove.
We do appreciate that you have requested on several occasions to be removed from our database, and we apologise that this request has not been actioned as you expected. We take this feedback seriously and will ensure your request is reviewed so that the appropriate steps can be taken to prevent further unwanted contact.
We’re sorry for the frustration this has caused and appreciate you bringing it to our attention

Jonny Buckle from the Pattinson Regional Centre has been amazing right from the property enquiry, offer being accepted and whilst the purchase is progressing. He has been available to answer queries, look into issues and just the sort of person you want to deal with. His polite and attentive demeanor have been a bonus to his professionalism. He is a credit to Pattinson and have already recommended a couple of friends also searching for properties.
