Terrible communication

I would try to steer clear of this company if possible. We have rented a property through this agency and it has been a nightmare. Communication is horrendous, you cannot get hold of anyone at all. We even went into the branch about our queries and still were told that no one was available and someone would contact us (which they didn’t). The property was not ready for us to move into on the agreed date and we were not told about this until we chased and chased about needing more info on moving in.

We have recently sold and bought properties from Gascoigne Halman in Chapel-en-le-frith. The processes were far from straightforward, due to various legal complications, but Peter and his team helped us through each stage in a friendly, efficient and professional way. They helped move things along when things seemed to be stalling and were great at communicating with us as vendors and purchasers. I have no hesitation in recommending them. Thank you team!

Absolutely terrible experience with…

Absolutely terrible experience with this letting agent. After the landlord withdrew an agreed offer, we were left out of pocket and still have not had our deposit returned. Communication has been poor throughout, with constant delays and little accountability. We felt completely unsupported and ignored when trying to resolve the issue fairly. I would strongly advise others to be very cautious before dealing with this agency. They tried to make us send them thousands of pounds with no contract given then last minute withdrew the offer and are refusing to give the deposit back. Absolutely dreadful agency.

Excellent throughout

Absolutely excellent from start to finish of the house sale - one local agent kept phoning to see if we 'had come to a decision to market the property' which lost them any business, whereas GH did the visit to see the place and then said they'd leave us alone and it was up to us to give it the go-ahead or not. No pestering - excellent. Once we gave them the thumbs-up we had a string of viewers within days, and eventually exceeded the guide price by a small margin which suggests the guide price was accurate too. The staff at Gascoigne Halman were always on hand and worked brilliantly, especially Georgia who made sure everyone was kept in touch with any and all news and developments as things progressed, resulting in a sale a fortnight before Christmas which was exactly what buyers and sellers wanted. I would heartily recommend this outift.

Poor service and disappointing behaviour after tenancy agreement

After completing our tenancy with Gascoigne halman. Despite leaving the property in what we believed to be a clean and acceptable condition. We received a £550 deposit claim, including charges for cleaning (£250), decoration and painting (£150), and a radiator leak (£115). I have rented this apartment for 1 year.When we first moved into the property, it was in poor condition and had a noticeable odour. We raised this with the agency several times, but no action was taken.

Awful management and communication

As per all the other negative reviews - terrible communication - poorly written emails, unprofessional in manner and just awful to deal with. From moving into property, water pressure issues and constant cold showers. After months of back and forth was told (by a manager) 'oh well you are on a rolling contract, so you can just find another property' as appose to just having the issue fixed? Turns out it was a pump needed for the boiler, and of course the landlord did not want to pay as it was 'expensive'. It wasn't. Paying over a grand a month for no hot showers and terrible management is expensive. Clearly they prioritise landlords and not tenants. We left as suggested and do not recommend for renting at all - save your self the stress and sour puss faces.

Faultless Experience

My sale took a lot longer than expected and even though I was the buyer and not necessarily there client Gascoigne Halman were faultless especially Steph who I can’t praise enough she really did get the sale over the line.

Highly recomment Gascoigne Halman in Macclesfield

After 3 aborted sales with Purple Bricks which consumed 14 stressful months due to lack of support, wrong price, no vetting of purchasers, etc., etc. I decided to use Gascoigne Halman in Macclesfield to sell our house. Within 1 week Matthew Clark and his team had vetted a new purchaser who was right for our property, truly had the funds, and was highly likely to follow through to completion (which they did).I can't recommend Gascoigne Halman enough for their proactive advice and follow-up, aiding the purchaser and keeping me informed. I found them friendly and easy to communicate with. No waiting for someone to answer the phone for inquiries and prompt replies on email. When the exchange of contacts and completion time came, they helped pressure crucial solicitor communication so that we met the target dates keeping me (the seller) and the purchaser happy. I can't recommend Gascoigne Halman in Macclesfield enough. Thanks, folks, you deserve the credit, and will be using you again for another property sale.

Negligent - Do not rent from them

My husband and I moved into a property managed by letting agents Gascoigne Halman in Chapel en le Frith in November 2022. From the start we had major issues with the property; it hadn't been cleaned, the water pressure was terrible, in fact prior to us moving in after pointing out some defects during a viewing the electricity board had to be brought in to make the electrics safe! There was rubbish left in the loft and cellar and an open manhole cover with standing water in the basement with a pump in it. We had been told this was a usable storage space by the agents. It was not. It flooded more than once ruining our property and was horrendously damp. The wetness in the cellar rose through the house making it constantly damp and mouldy. The window frames were so rotten you could push your finger through them. The front door lock was insecure and you could push the door open with a hard shove.The shower seal was leaky and caused staining downstairs. The shower barely worked then stopped altogether. I believe the property would have been below the required EPC rating for letting if it were tested last year.These are just a few of the catalogue of defects. (I have photographic evidence of all of this). It took months to get some these things rectified and over 200 emails. I have made clear that one of my emails be treated as an official complaint but nothing has come of it. Often we were simply told 'the landlord doesn't want to spend any more money on the property'.We requested a reduced rent rate from £900 to £500 expecting a negotiation with the landlord. He took over a month to respond and then offered £850 despite our explaining the extensive damage to our property and us having paid for a shed to move our things from the cellar. The agents then sent messages chasing arrears. After continuing to press for the landlord to fulfill his legal obligations we were eventually hand delivered a section 21 notice (our tenancy should have run until November and they delivered this in June which I think may be in breach of the rules). The landlord claimed to not be able to afford repairs and needed to sell the property. This all happened over an 8 month period and I have to believe there is some sort of recourse for us. The property should not have been let in that state and we should be able to claim damages for our ruined property and loss of income (I work from home as a contractor). Having rented for over 20 years I have never had such a terrible experience. We moved back to Chapel to be closer to my elderly parents to care for them and now because of the lack of affordable, appropriate property we have had to move further away ultimately making them suffer. We have contacted the property ombudsman who have advised we have a case against Gascoigne Halman we just need to to follow it up. We have managed to find a private let and now moved at great personal expense through no fault of our own. Our new property is clean, well cared for and seems heaven after 9 Cross Street.

Great professional service from the team. Always easy to contact someone by phone or email. Special thanks to Amanda who has been so very helpful when we purchased the property over 10 years ago, finding us great tenants and sorting the tenancy agreement out etc. She has always helped and advised during this time when we had any issues or queries.She liased with the outgoing tenant when serving notice to end the tenancy so we had a stress free and amicable end to the tenancy making the sale much more straightforward. We also asked them to market the property and they took care of the viewings, keys, everything, and they found us a buyer in 2 days! We were kept informed regularly regarding the sale. Everyone at this branch in Chapel en le Frith does their best to help in a friendly and professional way and I have no hesitation in recommending them having experienced their buying, selling and renting services.

Absolutely first class service from the Gascoigne Halman team (again) - and this time I wasn't even the seller ! Nothing was too much trouble for them and they were of great assistance helping with the progress of my purchase, despite not being paid a penny by me ! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them, I genuinely feel they are head and shoulders above any of their rivals. After several property transactions over the past few years I have learnt not to bother with the others, I just head straight to them.

The house was a health hazard

We moved into a rental property managed by this estate agent last week, and it has been the worst experience we’ve ever had with an estate agent.

Amanda was a complete star assisting us with the purchase of our property. We were the buyer and not the seller but nothing was any trouble for Amanda as our solicitor was poor.She chased both solicitors and promptly replied to any queries we had.

Top class service from the team in the Chapel office regarding the sale of our late Mother's house. The initial contact from Peter was extremely professional and the knowledge and experience he possessed gave us confidence to place the house sale with this office and that decision proved to be absolutely the right one! The subsequent customer service we received from the Chapel office staff from Amanda, Laura and Emma was exceptional - they were super efficient , thoughtful and caring.

The team at Chapel-En-Le-Frith have been nothing short of fantastic. Amanda, Laura,Amy and Peters professional and confident approach to all the problems that arouse to the selling of both our properties was very reassuring. If I ever need the assistance of an estate agent in the future, I wouldn't hesitate to approach the team again. Many thanks to you all. You've been invaluable.

Totally manipulating the applicants. Before viewing mentioned about two tenants and the staff arranged the viewing. Now they are telling me they can’t allow two tenants.

Getting someone to buy our house was the easy part. Answering our queries and those of the purchaser and our solicitors was where Gascoigne Halman Chapel en le Frith branch excelled. Many other professionals involved in our house sale were difficult to get hold of. The whole team at Chapel were professional and responsive, even when they hadn’t got an instant answer, they telephoned us back to let us know how things were going. My husband and I have no hesitation in recommending them, they made our house sale as painless as they could. Many thanksPositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

I had the pleasure of working with Ella from Gascoigne Halman to sell my house, and I couldn’t be more impressed. She went above and beyond throughout the entire process, dealing with multiple issues quickly and professionally. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and her communication was excellent from start to finish.
