TrustpilotThanks so much Pattinson (Whickham)
I'd like to say thank you so much to the team at Pattinson Whickham branch for the excellent service they provided me with the sale of my house.Lyndsay Greenwell and Ian Robson in particular were absolutely brilliant for me. They were always available to support me throughout the sale if I had any queries (but honestly they were on top of everything due to how proactive they were so they often caught me before i had chance to catch them!) They really made a huge contribution for me which made the whole house sale process much smoother. I will definitely use Pattinson Whickham for the sale of my next property. Thanks Lyndsay and Ian! :)

TrustpilotAwful company for tenants
Awful company for tenants. The issues I had with this company are too many to mention The highlights are having a delayed move in date. Moving into a filthy home that hadn’t been cleaned. Living with leaks and holes in the ceilings that were not repairs for months. And when they were repaired … it was like they were repaired by cowboys. Such as using gloss paint to patch up a ceiling so it stood out. Finding out I had 2 months notice from the sold sign outside my home. To taking 5 weeks to return a deposit and illegally hanging onto it. The company lack any focus on tenants and quality and desire to resolve issues. Please avoid them. My like has dramatically improved now I know I never have to have any contact with them.

TrustpilotSale and purchase both through Pattisons!
Friendly, professional service.We chose Pattisons for the sale of our house as we had our eye on one of theirs to purchase, fees were competitive and loved how the house featured on all house apps and web platforms. House sold within 2 weeks and offer accepted on purchase soon after. No complaints for the estate agents and Dean was monumental in ensuring the sale complete and both my buyer and onward purchase ran smoothly.The only gripe I have is with the solicitor that was recommended, Bideman solicitors acted on my behalf for both sale and purchase and they were truly terrible. Had taken on more work then they could manage with emails and phone calls being missed or not replied to for weeks… I would definitely use Pattisons again should we move but will definitely be finding our own solicitors. Huge thanks to Dean and team for all their hard work and efforts in these uncertain times! ⭐️

We are sorry to hear that you feel the service you received did not meet your expectations. Prior to bidding, all prospective buyers are advised to carry out their own due diligence and ensure they are comfortable with the process and terms before placing a bid, as doing so enters them into a legally binding contract.
Any funds relating to reservation fees and deposit liability are clearly outlined within the auction terms and conditions, which all bidders are required to review and accept prior to participating. Once the property has exchanged, any matters relating to failure to pay or complete fall between the buyer and the seller, with our role being to facilitate the auction process on behalf of the vendor.
We can also confirm that this matter was previously reviewed and addressed prior to this review being posted. While we regret that you remain unhappy with the outcome, we must highlight that the process followed was in line with the legally binding contract and terms that were accepted at the point of exchange.
We appreciate your feedback and wish you the best moving forward.

Excellent service from beginning to end.Phil came out, valued my home and was very personable. Property sold within 24hrs. Faith was amazing in handling the viewings and the sale of my property. Keeping me updated all the way through what could have been quite a stressful process. Would highly recommend pattinson. Thank you

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!

A huge thank you to Lyndsay Greenwell in Whickham for such an amazing experience in purchasing my first property! When the process become messy at times with my Lender and Solicitors, she was always on hand to help and guide me. I always got a call back or email response in no time at all. I would highly recommend Lyndsay and her team if you are looking to buy or thinking of selling - 100% satisfactory.

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!!!

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 .

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.
