Sale of property

Dealt with everything from start to finish without any need for me to do anything. Selected potential buyers, overseeing property viewings, shortlisted buyers, and coordinated solicitors. Nicola Middleton was especially helpful.

I wanted to rent a house in Darlington. They delayed it 5 weeks until, finally, they seny the video. In the video the house was fine. I applied for it and no answer. I called them and they said it's gone.During the 5 weeks of waiting they said tomorrow or next week or Friday the video for the house will be ready and sent out to all the people interested. At what point I wanted to rent the house only based on pictures and they said no because they would like to sent the video to everyone to be fair for all of us. No fairness as they rented it straight away with no chance for me. 2 weeks later they sent messages if we are still interested because it's available again. Strange isn't it?! I wasn't interested anymore because started to be suspicious. One friend, which applied with me for the same house, book a viewing for it. The house is horrible. Needs to be redcorated as doesn't match with the pictures. Definetely is the worst agency I ever dealt with. Not to tell we had to apply at least 2 times because they were losing our data.. Was a totally nightmare. Don't trust them!NegativeQuality, Professionalism

The length of time it took,was advised by Smith and friends on a solicitor to deal with the paperwork took their advice wouldn't advise anyone to use either of the SERVICES, it took 7 months from start to finish to deal with one property with no chain , RIDICULOUS.MARCH TO SEPTEMBER 6TH .

Thank you Mrs Huggins for your valuable feedback. I have a meeting with our solicitors panel and I shall be personally looking into why this took from sales being agreed on 16 April to completion (99 working days), As with all property sales there is more than one party responsible for making the transaction move forward. My apologies for any delays caused by the solicitors involved.Kind regardsMark SmithManaging Director

I recently sold a property using Smith and Friends estate agency. Louie,Joy and Michelle from the Darlington office were extremely helpful at all times and kept me fully informed at all times. There input was exceptional and far better than any other estate agent which I have used in the past. I can highly recommend and will always recommend to my friends.

Great service

Through a difficult time selling my deceased Mothers house Manj and Andrea at Smith and Friends have been fantastic. Wasn’t an easy situation as I live 260 miles away and even though we had the sale fall through a few times they both were great, never being anything but positive and supportive. Highly recommended.

Smith and Friends have been fantastic

Smith and Friends have been fantastic, the team's very professional and helped me to buy my first home. The procedure from start to finish went so smoothly keeping me informed every step of the way. If I was to ever buy another property will definitely try to go through Smith and Friends again.
