TrustpilotSmith and Friends Hartlepool
I moved from Birmingham to Hartlepool. We bought a house through Smith and Frinds in Hartlepool. I was really concerned about being so far away through the process and not being able to liase in person, however i need not have worried. I was kept inormed every step of the way, first by Joanne and then as things progressed, by Rachel. All of my questions and queries were answered and things ran very smoothly for us. Thank you to all the team at Smith and Friends.

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.

A good partnership between agents and client. I felt comfortable to talk to the agents about the sale of our property and was kept up to date about the progress of the sale. The agents advertised the property but also mailed suitable buyers from their own database who may be interested. In all a positive experience and would use again,, thank you.

First time renting a property and the Ingleby Barwick office made it painless. They moved me in within 10 days of the first viewing and kept me informed the entire way. Thanks to Graham for showing me around and then Victoria, Mark, and Chloe for taking me through the process. I feel confident I'll be well looked after during the period of my tenancy.

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
