TrustpilotUnethical Auction Practices - Blyth Branch
What a difference 18 months make. After a recent incredibly poorly managed auction by the Blyth branch I no longer trust this company to carry out a fair and transparent transaction. Moving auction dates, giving no time for the legal pack to be checked, allowing other bidders to drop out at the last minute, and allowing lower bid increments than listed in their T&C’s. It’s all very suspicious and it’s not the kind of business I want to be dealing with. If (and it’s a very big if) I purchase any further properties through Pattinsons it will be via head office not the branch. *** Previous review from Jan 2020 ***We have bought a number of properties from Pattinsons over the years and their service just keeps getting better. Our latest one with the Blyth branch was a breeze. It was an auction property we bought before auction, and unlike some others we looked at had reasonable fees attached to it. Caroline was an absolute pleasure to work with and Terri holds the Crown as my favourite estate agent. Keep up the good work guys. We will be back for more!

Eloise was great helping us with moving into our new house! Talked us through the whole thing and made sure we were at ease. Also helped us to get the move in date we wanted. Would 100% recommend using pattinsons when renting somewhere.

TrustpilotVery unprofessional
Very unprofessional, told us our offer was agreed and vendor was happy and property would have no more viewings and then suddenly they said they had a higher offer. Depends who you speak to, some staff seem very inexperienced. Must be one of the only estate agents who allow viewings once an offer has been accepted. However when I went to buy a property they wouldn't let me view as they said the offer had been accepted, so contradicting themselves, even when I tried to explain this, no apology just said this was usual practise!!!

TrustpilotSales genius
When we made the decision to put our home up for sale we were instantly put at ease by Rachel Ratcliffe. She made the process very easy, kept us well informed and her communication meant we knew what was happening when. She really is a peoples person and is very good at what she does. She also helped secure our offer on our new home! Thank you Rachel

TrustpilotSeller beware! Can't sell if people can't view
I'm a prospective cash buyer trying to arrange viewings on 2 properties up for sale with Pattinson's. They promised a call back last week to sort out some viewings but never did. When I called back today for an update, the person trying to transfer my call didn't realise that I could hear what was being said - the person on the other end couldn't be bothered to take the call and argued loudly with the first person - I could hear it all!! And when she told me she was "having difficultly transferring" so the other person would phone me back directly, what a surprise - still no call back hours later! So unprofessional. So what sort of service are they actually providing to sellers? It's not surprising to me now that the properties have been on the market for many months unsold - not just market conditions with that sort of response.In this case, I guess it's a case of SELLER beware rather than buyer beware!

TrustpilotWhat a waste of time.
What a waste of time.I had an agreement with them to pay a tenancy upfront , then they said it would be better to pay monthly as long as I had a guarantor. So after going through the whole referencing process and obtaining a garantor .They went back on their word and asked for the full tenancy which after the agreement of monthly payments .I was not happy about this as I like to be a man of my word and after eventually agreeing as I had no other choice , was still refused .Wether down to the agents or landlord , my experience was unprofessional and untrustworthy .

TrustpilotBEWARE of this agency!!!
BEWARE of this agency!!!BEWARE of this agency, the Low Fell branch. I have been asked by them to vacate with a story that the landlord want to move in and now I can see the property in Curzon place is in the market! They will make bogus claims for damage that hasn't been done by you. They have handed over an extremely dirty apartment during move in and will make you to do deep clean while you are leaving. The agency makes no effort to remedy any issues you are having as a tenant and they are totally careless and not invested in their job. Not only will they hand in a filthy apartment on your move in day, they also didn't have right keys for the property, leaving me for days without access to the parking, they took 5 months to repair the broken window which was there from day 1 in the apartment and also only after being served a notice by Gateshead council. Extremely dishonest agency.

From the start of the selling process Ian Robson was excellent. He put us at ease with his professionalism taking beautiful photographs and videos. He was one of four valuations and my family and I quickly realised we could trust his knowledge and understanding. Within days viewings were being booked in, followed by numerous offers. Ian, Lyndsay Greenwell, Sharon Cummings and Jodi Gooch were in close contact throughout, offering advice and help. Their support was excellent throughout and we had total confidence in everything they did for us. A brilliant team and Lyndsay in particular, with her excellent communication skills, kept us informed every step of the way. Thank you from myself and the family for your support throughout.
