GoogleIβd like to thank Emma Owen at Ryder & Dutton for making things as easy as possible for me when selling my parentsβ and my family home in Linthwaite, when it became necessary for my mum to have full-time care in a local care home.
Emma has been fantastic from start to finish ... friendly, supportive and informative and professional at all times during what has been a difficult period for me on many levels.
Thank you Emma π

GoogleIβve recently had to sell my family home with Ryder and Dutton and Emma Owen at the Colne Valley Branch has been absolutely amazing throughout the whole process.
Emma has kept myself up to date on a weekly basis of any potential buyers and since accepting an offer she has gone above and beyond to keep me informed and updated on the progress of the sale.
Shes been great, would highly recommend Emma and the staff at the Colne Valley Office to deal with sales and purchasing of any property.

GoogleLeanne met my friend and I at a property for a viewing and immediately put us both at ease. She was friendly and approachable, and was not pushy at all which I really appreciated. Leanne was honest about the house and was helpful when it came to discussing the potential of the house and changes that could be made. She was very easy to speak to, seemed to have a good rapport with the owner and generally made the viewing very easy and comfortable.

GoogleLeanne & Emma are a great team at the Ryder & Dutton Colne Valley Branch in Linthwaite. Leanne gave by far the best presentation when we met with three Agents to select one to sell our property and then produced excellent sales details. Even though R&Dutton were slightly more expensive than the other Agents interviewed we were in no doubt that they were the right choice.
The property sold within 24 hours for the asking price (which was pitched at the maximum level recommended by the 3 Agents interviewed). Then we were handed over to Emma who guided us through the remainder of the sales process - she was excellent at calming me down when I got a bit 'excited' over delays caused by buyers at the other end of our chain of four. In the end, although it took about 4 months in total it all 'hung together' and Emma was great at interfacing with our buyer.
A great job Leanne & Emma - thank you very much indeed.

GoogleI cannot recommend Ryder & Dutton enough. From the start of the process Leanne talked me through their package which explained everything as well as the expected costs. With Leanne knowing the area so well I believe also helped with the advertisement of my property and the quick sale
Emma has been amazing, she has kept me up to date throughout the sale of my property and was always available for any questions that I had.
The service I received from everyone was exceptional and I cannot thank them enough.

GoogleI recently sold a house through Ryder and Dutton, Emma and Leanne were amazing throughout the whole process and made a very stressful situation a lot easier! They were friendly, professional and reliable, always answering queries promptly and in regular communication to keep us updated. From the initial meeting, getting the house on the market, suggestions to secure a buyer and proceeding through the sale process they were so supportive and offering advice at every stage of the sale. Would definitely recommend.

Nothing was too much trouble, and they particularly helped us deal with repeated difficulties with the conveyancing, and did so with patience and understanding.

GoogleThe duo of Emma Shepherdson and Leanne Randall at the Ryder & Dutton office in Linthwaite has been a mighty one and combined will go down in estate agent folklore as a Batman & Robin-esq partnership being everyday heroes to buyer and vendor alike. As a buyer it's a big decision and commitment purchasing a property, it can be stressful as there is lots of unknown to deal with but conversing and liaising with them their empathy, knowledge and ability came shinning through. Both Leanne and Emma have been exceptional in offering a professional service and support to assist from showing us the property to the day to day progress and flow of that important process and purchase. Their standards are very high, their comms and proactiveness second to none and you really feel they care, which is a powerful draw for any potential buyer or seller in what is a competitive market. We cannot recommend them highly enough and thank them a great deal for the assistance and ongoing advice and support they have given us with our purchase to date.

GoogleRight from the outset Emma engaged with us totally. She proactively kept us informed at every opportunity. Emma is courteous, kind and very professional. She has a warm friendly personality and I felt she was prepared to go the extra mile to get the information to move things along. I have high regard for Emma and all the people I dealt with at Ryder & Dutton. Emma was able to liaise with the agents of my purchaser and my onward purchase and really was the one who clarified what was happening as we moved to completion.
Thanks ever so much for your help and in such a lovely manner.
Best wishes

GoogleI have just sold my house with the Linthwaite branch of Ryder & Dutton and I wanted to share what a great experience it was. A huge thanks to Leanne and Emma for their enthusiasm, professionalism and ease to deal with. The most important trait in an estate agent is that they are able to replicate the enjoyment an owner has for their home when they are selling it to future buyers and Leanne had this to a tee. Emma too was always enthusiastic when I spoke with her and although you may say it goes without saying but in my experience of ringing estate agents offices you often times feel like a nuisance for ringing. Nothing could be further from the truth with Emma and together we were able to negotiate a Β£40k increase on the initial offer before accepting full asking price, bearing in mind the house had only been on the market for two weeks.
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Leanne and Emma as representatives of R&D for future sellers

GoogleWe dealt with Leanne and Emma and could not have been more happy with both. In choosing an agent to sell our cottage we chose Leanne out of three others we met because of her knowledge, realistic assessment and warmth. She staged our cottage so well, making it look neat and cosy, which it was but we never managed! Emma was so helpful, is a great communicator and also very knowledgeable and warm. Thank you both for your great help in what could have been a stressful time.

GoogleAlthough our house sale was turbulent, Ryder and Dutton were absolutely amazing and offered a brilliant service throughout. We both sold and purchased a house through Ryder and Dutton and their team worked relentlessly to make things happen for us. James Sibthorp, the agent overseeing our sale, offered excellent advice, kept us up to date with every development and fully supported us with our sale and ongoing purchase. We canβt thank him enough for going above and beyond to help us out. Fiona Joyce, the agent overseeing our purchase property, was incredibly helpful throughout the process and did everything she could to keep the chain intact. Leanne Randall provided great valuation advice and support where needed. I have already recommended Ryder and Dutton to friends, and I wonβt hesitate to use them in the future. They are knowledgeable, experienced and overall a lovely team of people.

GoogleEmma has been fabulous throughout the ordeal of purchasing of my flat (which isn't over yet unfortunately!). She has been a great support to me, chasing up seller's solicitors, giving me advice and explaining things to me when my solicitor failed to do so. I'm sure her heart must sink when she sees another email from me(!) but she has always got back to me quickly and done whatever she can to help. Thank you Emma :)

GoogleIβm so glad we chose Ryder & Dutton to handle our recent sale. Leanne has in-depth knowledge of the Colne Valley market and I felt we were in great hands. She was fantastic when it came to creating a high quality listing and getting our house on the market quickly and smoothly, and she was always available to answer questions. Also thanks to James who was invaluable when it came to communicating with our buyers and their solicitors during the conveyancing process to ensure everything moved along and we were kept in the loop. Would definitely use Ryder & Dutton again, thank you!

GoogleLeanne came to value and list our house initially, Nicole dealt with the prompt sale before heading off for maternity leave. I lost count how many viewings we had in such a short time (thank you to Kim who did the majority of them).
After our personal situation changed the house was taken off the market and relisted a few months later. Nichola took over the sale at this point and was particularly good at keeping us informed of the progress.
We decided to take the house off the market yet again! For this reason alone I cannot commend the staff enough! At all times they were friendly, helpful and professional and never made us feel we were being a nuisance!
I would highly recommend Ryder & Dutton (Linthwaite).

GoogleWe have had such a brilliant experience selling our house with Ryder and Dutton, Nichola has gone above and beyond. There have been significant delays caused by a very unresponsive convenyancer, but Nichola has been the best advocate we could have asked for and I doubt we would have reached completion in this chain without an estate agent that was willing to make many extra phone calls and emails to make it happen for us.
Highly recommended.

GoogleI called into the linthwaite office as I was buying a house in the village with another agent but I didn't find them to be very helpful. I wanted information on surveys, spoke to Leanne and Emma who were really helpful and told me about all the different surveys available. They also suggested a local solicitors and arranged that- as a first time buyer I was feeling confused and they offered great advise.

GoogleWhen you sell a property you need to be confident that your agent knows the market and will sell your property for the best possible price. Leonie and Laura have demonstrated that they have the skills to do that. On top of that they are good communicators and have kept us up to date and well informed at every stage of the selling process. I would recommend them to others without hesitation.
