TrustpilotDAN'S THE MAN!!!
DAN'S THE MAN!!!We had an excellent experience with Pattinsons, Houghton branch. Dan was very personable, professional and an absolute pleasure to deal with. Dan did a great job of marketing the property, with very clear communication throughout (even outside of business hours) so we got a huge amount of interest we were made an offers for 4 days after it went live! Sue, Kimberley and various others from other branches have all been fantastic to deal with. The team in the Houghton branch were friendly and efficient when dealing with every aspect, our home is now SSTC as having not done this before we were made to feel reassured and they are continuing to guided us through the whole process. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Dan and everyone at Pattinsons team!

TrustpilotAmazing Service!
Nicola has been amazing through the whole selling process. So helpful and went out of her way multiple times for us to help the process run smoothly. We had a very stressful chain and Nicola did everything she could to put our minds at ease. She definitely went above and beyond for us. Stephen was also brilliant helping us out with various things and again going above and beyond for us.Overall pattinson were brilliant and we're more help to us even on the sale of our house than our estate agent and solicitor and we weren't even selling through them!

TrustpilotAvoid them at any cost!
Avoid them at any cost!! They mislead you with their twisted auction contract and their "well trained" agents so you definitely end up with costs even with no sale.All I can say is: Honesty is not their thing.Do not use their service if you care about quality, honesty, and clear agreements/communication!

We had an excellent experience with Pattinsons, Houghton branch. Dan was very personable, professional and an absolute joy to deal with. Dan did a great job of marketing our property, so much so that we were made an offer less than a day after it went live! Sue and her team in the Houghton branch were friendly and efficient when dealing with any of our questions and as having not done this before we were made to feel reassured and they guided us through the whole process. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Dan and team!

GoogleKatie was very friendly and professional when she came to value and list our property.
I’m very happy with the way she has presented the property online with good photos and description. It was also welcome how she kept me involved with at part of the process. Since listing the house the team at Durham branch have given me regular updates online and over the phone and have proved knowledgeable and happy to discuss any queries I have had.
Really pleased with everything!

I would definitely recommend Pattinsons of Stockton for the sale of your house. We had ours on the market for 2 months with many positive viewings and then we had an offer. Unfortunately this fell through at the last hurdle due to the buyer and Pattinsons had the property back on the market the next day with another offer coming in within 4 days and a successful sale followed in under 2.5 months.Thanks for your help and consistent calls to keep us fully informed every step of the way.And a special mention to Gino and the chatty one they call Mel!

TrustpilotWendy Burbridge an absolute star 🌟
We decided to downsize early last year and after having a sale agreed Wendy took over to see the sale over the line. It ended up a long journey with lots of bumps in the road. Without Wendy this journey would have been near impossible to manage, she liased with the other estate agent (who put us under a lot of pressure over things out of our control) and a solicitor who often went off the radar!. Wendy is a credit to not just to Pattinsons but her profession and both Ann and Adrian would like to say the biggest thank you.

TrustpilotGosforth Branch
Gosforth BranchAfter using another agency and having a lot of false starts, I asked Pattinsons for an appraisal of my home with a view to have them represent the sale of my property.I asked them because during the search for my next home, their staff worked their socks off on any viewing I made through them, they always kept in touch after viewings and they always phoned you the minute there was a price change.Susan, the Branch Manager, arrived at my home and was totally professional and told me that my home wouldn't be hard to sell, so I trusted her word and signed them up.I sold on the first viewing to a cash buyer that Natalie had known was looking for a house in my postcode area. She contacted the buyer to initiate a viewing. Natalie then arranged the viewing, kept in touch with me and the buyer at all stages and never let me down with advice and guidance throughout the entire process.Natalie is a real inspiration at Pattinson's and she got the sale that enabled me to be a cash buyer and purchase my forever home to retire to.A big shout out to Keri too at the branch who was always helpful and courteous.

I had great help from Pattinsons, initially in selling my property,their branch at the West Road were first class and I had plenty of viewings from day one.Then during the sale of my property and purchase of my new home I had problems with the solicitor I had been allocated.Wendy,Pattinsons Sales Progressor could not have been more helpful during this time. She kept contacting this solicitor for the information I was not receiving and kept me informed .I could not thank her enough for her assistance during this time.

Absolutely diabolical service to say the least. They only call and respond when they are due their fees, and after that not a single peep from them. I have been calling, emailing the agent and online via the portal and not a single person responds. They are highly rude to my solicitors and to her team. I would avoid at all costs as their professionalism does not exist and for the sum of the auction fees, it's an embarrassment. Save yourselves from this experience!!!

TrustpilotAvoid their auction
Avoid their auctionThis morning, I was bidding for the small piece of land to use for our not-for-profit organisation Soham London CIC, which provides well-being through Yoga and Meditation.The land is a small piece of 0.054 acres in windsor.We won the audition for £3000 and am happy with it. We are happy to buy the property.We were aware that the buyer fee is 5% and all is good to pay.But, it came as a surprise and shock that the buyer fee is a minimum of £5000 + VAT.It does not make sense to me to pay double the amount of land price.This is a hefty amount for us being a not-for-profit organization helping the community.They want to pay all the buyer fees and deposit the same day by 4.30 pm and not very helpful by the person Tom Pattison.

Recently used Pattisons Auctions for a property I was trying to move on. Eventually received a number of bids that took the price over the minimum asking and once the hammer went down I was reassured that they property was then legally sold and contracts exchanged! After a number of days without receiving much information I was told that my ‘buyer’ had not even paid the deposit but not to worry as this would not delay completion! The 28 days passed, I moved my business out and still no completion. They told me that I was entitled to sue the buyer for the deposit and all legal fees, and they were suing them for their £6k plus auction fees but they were unable to assist me in this! They also to date have never personally given me any information as to who the buyer was including address etc! They will only pass this onto a Solicitor but I believe I don’t actually need a Solicitor to sue somebody. I have found everyone at this company very unprofessional and extremely unhelpful and I would certainly never recommend anyone uses them! They have caused me great expense and stress! Please avoid at all costs!

Agree with the user, it looks like a scam. They keep constantly pressuring me and changing auction end dates. Don't give them your hard earned monies. It may well be a Scam!

Now had two negative experiences first they put a property on the website I rang within an hour of seeing it to be told the renter had bought it. Why put it on the website if this is the case.Secondly had a viewing booked at a property at 10am today to be rang at 9am to say it was cancelled and that the property had sold. Not given any opportunity to bring the viewing forward only gave one other option to view which we couldn’t make. I am now reluctant to look at any property which pattinsons are marketing.

TrustpilotQuick and easy selling process
The whole process of selling the house was made very straightforward by the very competent and helpful staff at Pattinsons. Clear explanation of their services at valuation time and ongoing advice and support throughout the process. This company have a lot of prospective buyers on their books so the house sold quickly. Viewings were organised and accompanied by Pattinson staff as the house was empty so we were not inconvenienced. Staff at the office, particularly Geno, were always helpful if I had queries and kept us informed of any updates. I would certainly use them again if selling another house
