TrustpilotTerrible
Terrible. Premises rented to my son in such a state of what I can only call neglect to the point of dangerous. At no point have they admitted any sense of responsibility for this or that issues raised were of concern. Beware before renting from them and complete any safety checks yourself including the whole property if taking a flat or studio apartment.

Thank you for your review. Where Pattinson is neither the owner nor the managing agent of the building and responsibility for its overall condition does not rest with us. While these matters fall outside our legal and direct control, we always endeavour to support tenants and raise concerns where possible within our remit. Some issues, however remain beyond our authority to resolve directly. As an update, we now understand that this matter has been fully resolved for your son and that the outcome meets your expectations.
Many thanks

GoogleVery bad experience! I will not recommend this estate agency ever to anyone! They are getting you in a sole selling contract, which will block you to sell your own house with any other agency for 5 months! They don't bother to advertise your house to much. They even didn't bother to put a selling sign on the house.We didn't get any applications for viewings in 3 months after we start the contract with them! They are valuating the house much lower that is the market price or other valuations from different agencies. They are asking you as owner to drop the advertised price in order to have some viewers based on the idea of lower price much easy selling through their agency. Everything on their works are against the interests of the sellers.

TrustpilotFRAUD-They bid on their properties & increase sale price for commissions.
I was bidding on a property when the time finished and I was suppose to be the winner. I obviously won but they didn’t send me a confirmation email saying I won. Everything was there including the legal pack. They made excuses to not let the property go £10k cheaper.ABSOLUTE SCAM. They Control The Website and have people working from home bidding on the sale price so they get their commission. GREEDY BEGGERS.

Attempted to poach a property whilst valuing it for a house buying company I had appointed. Left their business card and said they would be able to sell it if we didn’t get the figure we wanted from the company. Then went on to value the property £100,000 below 4 other local agents resulting in us having our initial valuation from the company reduced by £70,000.

Ellie K has been invaluable in responding promptly to every query I had in a property on auction I was interested in. She contacted the seller and solicitors to ensure that I had all the information I needed to make the most informed decision. It didn’t result in any purchase however it was for reasons other than Pattinson s customer service.

TrustpilotSupportive Throughout Our First Purchase
As first-time buyers, we had a good experience overall. The team was helpful and professional, supporting us throughout the process and helping us get set up with a lawyer. They kept us informed and made sure things moved forward smoothly. Buying a property for the first time can be quite daunting, but they made it easier to navigate and were always available when we needed updates or guidance.

TrustpilotRude and nasty man
My sister has just had the most awful experience with a horrible man at this office. She was told she'd got a house and rushed back from holiday to sort it out. Was told very rudely that no she hadn't him and the vendor had let a different man have it. My sister is very ill and the effect of this on her is absolutely unimaginable. What a rude nasty man!

TrustpilotExtortion.
There is no financial incentive for them to sell your home for the best price for you. The £6000 fixed commission puts paid to that whether you sell for 1m or £100. I would carefully consider going down this route before anything else. They managed to organise only two viewings in three weeks with their miserly property investors.Furthermore, they have been misleading in details prior to signing binding contracts, even when I pressed them for assurances at the start. Not good.They managed two viewings in one month. Other agents will get that in one week. But the worst thing we found is the lies and trapping you into commitment. It has been a total waste of time, money, and stress. And they STILL prevent me from selling with another agent because of a clause in the contract you sign!Absolutely disgraceful that this business practice goes on.8th Nov Update- They are asking for 1200 pounds even though they did not sell the house in the auction! They want paying for something that didn't sell! The house is effectively shackled, doing nothing, because I can't seem to get out of an association with them. It's ludicrous.... they aren't making money. I'm not selling anything. I don't know when it will end. What's the point!?Another update- When the agreement ends they send you a 'list' - some 200-300 here... of interested named individuals. (bearing in mind only two people came to view the property, so this could just be an email shot to their clients, not that they are actively interested in purchasing). If anyone on this list expresses interest in your home in the future, even under a different agent you may be liable for costs. Unbelievable. They have you under a barrel. It's all wrong.

Patterson’s jarrow lacks good customer service, are untrustworthy and never deal with a situation- just hand you over to someone else who also has no idea how to cope under pressure. They took a holding fee from myself for a property and with some issues (with a CCJ that was in my partners name… with investaigtion it was not his abs evidence sent to them) we lost the property. We were told if we found out the CCJ information and could provide evidence that it was not my partners then the holding fee would stand. Since then, the house has been given to another tenant and a holding fee was taken off them. There has been the most shocking communication from pattinsons with regards to the property. I’m aware that the landlord has no idea what has been going on as the wife of the landlord has fed this back to the neighbour of the properly who has contacted me to tell me this. Really terrible service from all who were involved- which was at least four colleagues. I will never use these services again and will be telling everyone I know never to use them. Terrible business.

Good Afternoon. Thank you for your comments. All interested parties are put forward to the landlord & they are also updated on any information we establish during the course of referencing. The landlord will make the final decision on whether they wish to proceed (with the application) or not, based on the final referencing outcome. We are happy to discuss the findings again with the named party and we will issue the refund of the holding fee once adequate proof has been provided that the CCJ has been filed incorrectly as previously explained.

Hi Neil, we are sorry you have not had the experience that we would expect. I can see on your file that Lisa did make contact with you on 11/01/21 to advise that viewing can now take place and that the vendor may put the property into an auction. Sometimes there are delays with contacting vendors, and we can not instruct on offers without the vendor's consent. If you would like to share any more information with us, please contact socialmedia@pattinson.co.uk, and we will look into it further for you.

GoogleWe’re in the process of selling & so far I’m super impressed with the staff at Pattinsons Durham.
I found Kathryn very helpful on the initial phone call. Then Katie came out for the valuation. I was a little nervous but Katie is super friendly & immediately put me at ease. She was very enthusiastic about our property & marketing it. She took plenty time to go over all the paperwork with me, and answer any questions I had. Since the house has been for sale she has been in regular contact. Hopeful of a sale soon!

TrustpilotSale of townhouse in Seahouses
Having worked with Kelly and her team in the past, I was aware of how proactive they are in reaching a sale. They were extremely helpful and supportive throughout the process and worked in close contact with myself and the purchaser, to ensure the conveyancing ran as smooth as possible. As the seller, I discussed with Kelly and Darren an alteration in the asking price, in order to get that offer. We all agreed on the price and the best way forwards, which before long did bring the property to being under offer. It is a difficult market at the moment, but Kelly really does know her stuff extremely well and the whole team works very hard on both sides to secure the sale. Would definitely use again in the future.
