TrustpilotProactive, professional and always on the ball
Couldn’t fault the service we received from Ryder & Dutton. Catherine, in particular, was outstanding; she was extremely helpful throughout and consistently chased things up to ensure everything kept moving forward, which made a real difference when there were delays beyond anyone’s control.
Communication was clear and consistent, and I never felt like I was left waiting or chasing for updates myself. Catherine kept on top of things, followed up with all parties involved, and kept me informed at every stage.
Would happily recommend Ryder & Dutton.

TrustpilotDream Home Purchase
We recently bought our new home with Ryder & Dutton, Rawtenstall, and we were thoroughly pleased with the communication and efficiency throughout the process. Adam was particularly amazing, managing the early stages of our purchase in a way that made us feel like he was on our side, rooting for us to get our dream home. Grace managed the progression of the sale, keeping us informed and actively chasing solicitors on both sides to ensure the smooth running of the purchase. We’ve dealt with Ryder & Dutton branches before, in different areas, and never received this level of attention and service. Can’t thank them enough.

TrustpilotI cannot speak highly enough of Ada. Don’t hesitate go with Ryder and Dutton.
I cannot speak highly enough of Ada, who managed the sales progression for my recent property purchase. From start to finish Ada was absolutely excellent: professional, proactive, and always on hand to help with every step.
Ada kept me fully informed at every stage, explaining what was happening, what came next, and answering every question clearly and patiently. Nothing was too much trouble; she chased up enquiries promptly, coordinated seamlessly with all parties, and took so much of the stress out of what can often be a complicated process.
Especially in comparison with another big named estate agent (WH BROWN who dealt with the selling side of my home) they do not have a sales progression manager and do not give the service like Ryder and Dutton. Ryder and Dutton have been amazing and if I was ever to buy or sell I would chose them without hesitation!
Adas organisation, attention to detail and genuinely helpful approach made a huge difference. Thanks to her hard work, everything progressed smoothly and completed exactly as planned. If you’re buying or selling, you really couldn’t ask for better support, I’d happily recommend her to anyone.

TrustpilotBuying a property
We were buying a property and the vendors had used Ryder and Dutton as their estate agents. Jenny had been assigned the sale. Jenny was proactive throughout, not just in finding solutions or chasing up documents, etc but also in communicating where the sale was up to. She provided updates on a frequent basis and even checked in when there wasn't particularly any movement just to let us know where things where up to or whether she was chasing something. She certainly put us at ease.

TrustpilotNaveen and Ada are heroes
We used Ryder and Dutton for both our sale (Rochdale) and our purchase (Rawtenstall). Our main contacts were Naveen Naheed and Ada Grundy, though everyone we spoke to at any time during the process was professional and helpful. To say Naveen and Ada went the extra mile to get our sale and purchase completed is a total understatement, they each ran an extra marathon! In the face of frustrating delays they persisted in chasing various third parties, and were always on the end of the phone to give us updates, our just allow us to vent our own frustration at the long drawn out stages of our sale. Naveen bore the brunt of this, as most of the problems we encountered were with the sale of our Rochdale property, but throughout the process Ada kept in touch, and kept our purchase on track through her reassurances to the vendor of the Bacup property.
Both these ladies were our heroes, and literally kept us (just about!) sane throughout the proceedings.
Naveen and Ada were both absolutely brilliant in their efforts and attitude, and finally were instrumental in bringing our sale and purchase to successful conclusions in the face of many delays and difficulties. They deserve and have our heartfelt gratitude and praise.

GoogleThe team at Sowerby Bridge have been amazing from start to finish for the sale of our property. Ella was looking after us the whole time and we have never had to chase for updates or for action to be taken. She’s been proactive in everything and kept us updated 100% of the time so thank you so much Ella.

TrustpilotHuge thanks and appreciation to Ada and Naveen
My sale has been far from straightforward but I'm very happy with the service I've received from Ryder & Dutton staff at Rawtenstall, especially Ada who has really gone the extra mile right up to the last minute, explored all options to get my house over the line and it finally got there. Thank you Ada. I also have to thank Naveen from the Rochdale office who really stepped up and helped the sale finally go through in the last few weeks. Both Ada and Naveen have worked so hard and are a true asset to Ryder & Dutton. Thank you xx

GoogleWe have just completed on our purchase through Ryder and Dutton. We dealt with Oliver from start to finish and his professionalism and level of communication was the best we have ever received from an estate agent. I crave information and Oliver was sending over regular updates which resulted in a fast and efficient purchase and completion. We have bought and sold quite a lot of property recently and Oliver has by far been the best to deal with. Well done Oliver and RD!

TrustpilotRyder and Dutton were great !
Ryder and Dutton were great from start Dylan from Oldham branch then our move manager , Geraldine .She was great! During our purchase we hit some very difficult times but Geraldine was always contactable and did her best to really push things through and recommend things to do . She also explained things in easy to understand terms as legal wording can be very complicated.
My only complaint isn't with Geraldine or any of the team from Ryder and Dutton but for recommending Birchall Blackburn Solicitors.
They are an awful solicitors to deal with very very slow and communication is awful.
I wouldn't recommend them at all and maybe look into future recommendations to clients .

Excellent service from the team at Ryder & Dutton
I recently sold a property through Ryder & Dutton, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the initial valuation to the final completion, the entire process was managed with great professionalism and efficiency.
A special thank you to Ada, who was absolutely fantastic throughout. Her communication was excellent, and she was always on hand to answer questions and provide updates, which made a potentially stressful time much easier to navigate. The rest of the team were equally supportive and clearly know the local market inside out.
If you are looking to sell your home, I would highly recommend the team at Ryder & Dutton. Thank you all for your hard work!

TrustpilotFirst class service
Ryder & Dutton handled the sale of a family home and their service was outstanding. We had a sale agreed within a week of the property going on the market and thereafter the brilliant Geraldine Marsden was hugely proactive, helpful and good humoured in steering the sale through to Exchange and Completion. From my first interactions with Tony and Jess during the marketing process, Luis for fantastic photography, through to Geraldine on the post-sale arrangements, the experience was great and I would highly recommend them.

Geraldine was fantastic as my move manager. I was able to get in touch with her instantly if I needed anything, nothing was too much trouble and she assisted me as best she could with the process even when there were delays. Dylan who assisted with my sale was also fantastic and discussed offers and negotiations immediately, offering fantastic advice along the way and Tony was lovely when he came to value the house. I had my house valued with a number of agencies but Ryder and Dutton gave me the best estimate and were able to get the ball rolling quickly! The proof is in the pudding when you see the number of Sold signs through the borough.
All in all I would recommend to anyone thinking of getting their house valued or selling with Ryder and Dutton. The service was fantastic!

This is the second time I have used R&D and the reason I did was how impressed I was last time. The team are all so lovely, but special mention to Jacqueline this time who has been the glue to push the sale through and keep things on track. She was an absolute pleasure to deal with, regular proactive updates and always went above and beyond to help; I felt that she genuinely cared and wanted to help. Id definitely use R&D again... thanks Jacqueline!
