TrustpilotOrganised and professional
Owning a portfolio, I spread the management across three agencies. Smith & Friends is certainly organised and professional. The departments are very well structured and the customer service is excellent. I would have no hesitation in recommending their services.

GoogleI had an issue where they randomly cancelled my viewing, causing much inconvenience, but thankfully I was given a full apology, reimbursed the transport costs, and given a full video tour of the property I wanted to view. They're decent people and have done well to make up for the mistake.

TrustpilotExceptional service
From the initial contact made to arrange a viewing to the completion of the purchase, everyone we dealt with at Smith & Friends was friendly and professional. The stress of buying a house was removed from ourselves as we knew we were in safe hands.

TrustpilotTop class Estate Agent
We have recently sold our house via the Ingleby Branch and to a man I cannot fault anybody in the office. Andrea and Manj mainly handled the viewings and sales progression but everyone was so patient and gave great advice whenever I needed it. As the house was empty we left everything to them including the viewings which made the whole process simple and stress free. I wouldn't hesitate recommending Smith & Friends to anyone who is looking for an agent to sell their house. Top class, friendly and knowledgeable service from a very experienced estate agency. Thanks again! NT

GoogleHi, Olivia and the team were fantastic, had 5 viewings over the bank holiday weekend and could have had at least another 5. Property was re-let within a month of the old tenants moving out. Olivia sorted all the paperwork out very efficiently and quickly. Well done all, will be using you again.
