Simon Blyth Estate Agents Holmfirth reviews

Disgraceful behaviour. Offer accepted on a property by seller, however Simon Blythe deceptively arranged follow up viewings, then told the vulnerable person with the accepted offer they’d need to increase their original offer - shameful behaviour.

We cannot speak too highly of the service we received in the sale of Lower Millshaw. Grace Brown and her colleagues handled all the viewings and queries in a professional and speedy manner and the sale was completed in a month. Thank you! Sue & Roger

Catalogue of mismanagement

We recently sold our property in Sheffield using the Stocksbridge branch and overall I would not recommend them to anybody. Below is an outline of how I have reached this conclusion.

Another terrible experience with the Kirkburton office of Simon Blyth. I was in the process of buying a property (that I was told had been taken off the market as I had paid for surveys etc) when I discovered by accident that Simon Blyth were showing people around the property on the quiet - nobody had bothered to tell me after I had already spent hundreds of £ on surveyors. I walked away as I could no longer trust them as agents.

Very impressed with the service I have received from Simon Blyth with selling my house. James Sibthorp from the word go was keen to get potential buyers through my door and as a result my house sold in less than a week. He has been very professional, efficient and friendly. He has been a great help when I needed it by liaising with other estate agents and solicitors in the chain and has always kept me updated throughout the sale process. Would recommend Simon Blythe. Thank you.

Absolutely terrible from start to finish. I was looking to buy a property, twice contacted them with a list of questions for the seller, twice I was told somebody would be in touch and twice nobody called despite me chasing (I had to play detective and track down the seller myself). Then, both parties having agreed to try and progress rapidly (6 weeks), 2 weeks away from our completion date , I find my solicitor has not heard anything, I find the sellers solicitor has not heard anything and it turns out , Simon Blyth estate agents (Kirkburton) have done absolutely nothing despite being chased. A month completely wasted which cost me a lot. It does beg the question - what exactly do they do for their money? Rightmove does all the matching of buyer and seller, after that they just seem to make things worse?

Always found the staff in the Holmfirth office to be very accommodating and helpful whenever we've been in touch or been in. Never had any problems with the agents as yet. Anything we have had minor problems with, have been sorted promptly and efficiently which we can't complain about! All in all, a good experience so far! I would specifically like to mention Georgina in the Holmfirth office who I usually speak to when phoning - I find her to be very friendly, polite and efficient with regards to any maintenance we've needed in the past!

Has to be the winner in (Awful Service)…💩

Has to be the winner in (Awful Service) Award! Shameful behaviour when it comes to submitting an offer and underhanded tactic for squeezing another penny from a buyer but loosing a potential buyer because you need another few hundred pound to cover the advertising. Not turning up for viewing appointments for potential buyers! 3rd time for me alone waiting over 40min for the agent to show.. your terrible and you know it. My advise and the advise of 70% of other people on TP is to look at others.. good luck people.

Horrible service and a disrespectful follow up

Horrible, and poor is some of the few words that can only describe SB! Customers (me) having to wait in the rain without even a phone call to let me know that they forgot about my viewing. Are you still working on a chalk board? Even after a call to them on the day to ask if they are turning up and they just say we are running behind. That’s it! I even made a cash offer and was having a final look before proceeding. I’m sure all the vendors would love know a cash offers has been lost due to SB poor follow up service. If this is how customers are treated I would suggest you use someone else people.

Terrible Lettings Service Experience We recently found a new home in Honley for our 78 year old mother in law. Simon Blyths Lettings failed to return calls, misdirected information, messed up the rental paperwork, and worse of all - confused and contacted the elderly lady directly, despite being specifically asked not to. All the way through the process they showed levels of incompetence that was explained in writing by Simon Lewis, the Lettings Manager as as a consequence of them being busy. Well good luck and im pleased your so busy because I will never use your services or recommend them again.

I have recently sold my house through Simon Blyth Holmfirth office, and relocated to North Yorkshire. I had expected with being a 'lockdown' sale that it might be tricky, but it couldn't have been further from the truth. …

Simon Blyth, just another w****r!

Simon Blyth, an estate agent that helps cement the stereotype that estate agents are *****. After waiting half an hour for him to turn up to our appointment we tried his office, which just rang out. We waited another half an hour in case he was stuck in traffic..... and had forgotten his PHONE! But to no avail.

Dismal, worst estate agent I've ever dealt with. As a buyer we got gazumped but no opportunity to revisit our offer, so we lost out and the seller lost out on a better price for their house. Shocking customer service avoid at all costs

Not used this company before but would definitely use them again. Good local knowledge based in the middle of Holmfirth and found their rep James Sibthorpe to be very helpful, when things were not progressing as well as I liked.

We have been renting out a property with Simon Blyth in Holmfirth for the last four years. David and Georgina, together with their colleagues, have always provided us with a prompt, efficient and thorough service. We would not hesitate in recommending them.
