GoogleWe're so glad we picked JDG to sell our home. The quality of the marketing (photos, brochure, listing) is well above any of the other agents in the area and we achieved multiple offers at asking price or above within a less than a week of our house being on the market.
The entire team were brilliant but Louisa deserves a special mention, she answered my many e-mails promptly and was great at getting info from the solicitors when we were struggling to get a response. She really put my mind at ease throughout the process.
It is also worth mentioning that the team took COVID safety extremely seriously, from PPE to ensuring that only serious buyers in a position to make an offer would be allowed to come into our home for a viewing.
Overall, a great experience, thanks team JDG!PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

GoogleTeam JDG are amazing! This business is completely in-tune with the Lancaster property market and buyers and sellers requirements. They previously helped sell other properties in our street, so we knew they also had a proven track record locally in connection with our type of house. So much so that when we participated in a COVID-safe initial consultation and virtual valuation tour with Michelle, it quickly became apparent that there were buyers waiting. One viewing, pre-release onto the market, brought an immediate and acceptable offer which progressed through to successful completion. We couldn’t ask for any more than that, but JDG were also able to assist in a professional, courteous and efficient way when important information needed to be conveyed or sought during the transaction. Thank you to all involved at JDG. We highly recommend your services to others.PositiveQuality, Professionalism

She also provided additional support chasing surveyor reports for us and went above and beyond to support us buying the house. Would highly recommend

GoogleA swift sale, and then personal care throughout the legal process. Louisa kept in touch throughout, and assisted with pushing the transaction forward whenever necessary. We have moved 9 times and this was by far the best sale/purchase we have had. 10/10!!

GoogleExcellent service from all members of the team, in particular, Louisa, who was so friendly and helpful. Thanks for all of your efforts and your infinite patience.

★★★★★ 5/5
GoogleWhen we decided to sell our house and Michelle arrived to look around and go through all the facts and figures she had prepared we knew JDG were the ones to sell our house. Everyone has been fantastic and really organised all the way through. With Louisa giving the solicitors a gentle nudge and providing us with updates on progress this made everything run smooth. I could not recommend them more.

★★★★★ 4/5
GoogleThere have been some hiccups. One with a view where the JDG professional was not very well informed and didn't answer our posterior emails, and another with an excessive pressure for us to find a solicitor (we literally got a "pressure" call having had just 2 hours to find a solicitor). But, we should highlight the professionalism of Louisa and Fiona who were amazing! We are tempted to give a 5 just because of them, but I need to evaluate the entire team performance, which overall was very good, but would need some fine tuning to avoid the issues described above.

GoogleI have used JDG to both rent out a house and sell one. Staff have always been friendly and approachable with an attitude that nothing is too much trouble. I have had good advice when needed, they have provided experienced and competent plumbers, painters and cleaners to help me when I need to get the house ready for sale and they helped me with setting the
right price to help sell my property. They would definitely be my "go to" estate agents and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

GoogleJDG are an absolutely stunning estate agency with a tremendous online presence.
Their houses are always priced at the premium end of the market and they each know their favourite rooms - Michelle, for example, loves the kitchen - what she doesn’t know about baking isn’t worthwhile.
I’ll definitely use JDG to sell my house shortly - it contains its very own curling rink and I just know JDG will price this well.
Keep up the great work, guys and continue with the YouTube videos - all done in one take to boots (but not with Boots, who is adorable!)
Rhona · 7 June 2020
Agent replied · 7 June 2023
Thanks for the review Rhona - Boots certainly is the star of our office and I personally would love for her to have her own You Chew Channel. She already has an I bone - we are just waiting for Hollywoof to call!
Kitchens are most certainly one of the most important parts of a home, however sadly Michelle's baking skills are somewhat lacking. As you know though - she does like to try and one day, practise will make perfect. It's a bit like training in any sport!
As for property pricing - our aim is always to get the best price for our clients. We have been very fortunate over the years that over 1in 5 property sales across Lancaster have indeed been with JDG which in itself speaks volumes!
Anyway, Michelle would love to see your curling rink - can you imagine the video fun she could have!
Happy Curling.
Ps. Did you ever get your gold medal back?

GoogleAs a tenant renting a lovely property through JDG I cannot recommend JDG highly enough. The lettings team are friendly and helpful. Communication is excellent, for example when it is time for my property inspections I am notified by different methods to ensure I receive the information and on the one occasion I needed to report an issue, an electrician was dispatched the same day solving the problem immediately and I was kept up to date from the moment I logged the fault. Thank you JDG.

Hi Summer,
I’m presuming Summer is not your first name as I can’t find you on my system to call to discuss.
Could you please call me on 01524 843322 to discuss. I’ve only had 2 viewers out recently so I’m trying to work out where you have viewed or who with and I am failing to figure it out.
This is not our normal service as we like to always be transparent about the properties we are selling.
Please will you call me to discuss. Thanks!

GoogleI recently sold a property through JDG and from initial valuation to completion all stages of the process were handled most professionally by members of this 5 star team. Every communication with JDG was very clear, competent and professional. I was kept fully informed and staff were resourceful and supportive when unexpected challenges arose.
Having bought and sold properties through JDG for over twenty years every experience has been very positive and JDG are deservedly the number 1 estate agent in Lancaster and surrounding areas. If you are looking for an estate agent who will deliver a 5 star experience of buying and/or selling a property JDG is the best choice you can make.

GoogleI bought a house in Lancaster through JD Gallagher Estate Agents. From first contact, I was impressed, with the engaging manner of all the staff with whom I dealt, with their depth of knowledge both local and professional, and the speed with which queries were answered and advice given. I must mention Cassie and David in particular; however, the Gold Medal award definitely goes to Louisa Jones who is exceptional in every regard. It was very easy to see why the firm won a national award two years in a row. It can be hard to live up to a such a reputation: they thoroughly lived up to it and deserve further success.
