GoogleCurrently buying a house through R&B, great company, always very helpful, arrange viewings out of hours to suit our needs and have dealt with hannah sloan, who has been a pleasure everytime I have rang. Thank you.
Update:- we have now exchanged contracts and would like to thank Tracey Love for her help, support and guidance whilst going through the buying process. It's been a rocky road but we are now there. Thanks Tracey xx

GoogleIβm in the process of selling a house. Hannah and team have been brilliant to deal with, striking a great balance between professionalism and a friendly helpful approach. Whenever snags have arisen with the sale she has always been at the end of the phone or online to reassure, advise and promptly liaise with the buyer. Hannah is certainly an excellent representative for Ratcliffe and Bibby and I have no hesitation in recommending them.

GoogleWe recently sold our house with r&b. They were the ultimate professionals from day one. Lee was spot on when he valued our house. We sold it within a few weeks. Eric was a real gentleman in showing clients round. Jodie was our go to person after we'd sold. She was the friendliest, helpful person, always willing to give advice. We can't thank everyone enough for all they did to guide and help us. We will definitely recommend this estate agents to anyone who asks. Good luck to you all and a massive thank you from Frank and myself.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

GoogleWhen we decided to move house we called several agents for a valuation. R&B werenβt the highest but Lee did a very good job at selling their professional services. We dealt with all the team initially until a sale had been agreed then with Jodi for consistency. Jodi was great at being the go between for us and our buyers and also very responsive in all communication. Would definitely recommend R&B to anyone thinking of selling their home.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

GoogleI have just sold my house with R&B, very impressed with the quality of service, professionalism and speed of the sale. Callum especially kept me up to date with exactly what was going on, very helpful and conscientious! Also thanks Kate/Hannah who were also brilliant with quick returns on emails when I was unable to get to the phone.
Professional and friendly service would definitely recommend :)

GoogleWe let our property through R&B and during a period with a difficult tenant, Jodie was exceptionally professional. Her prompt response to all my requests and her no nonsense 'hands-on' approach to the situation was excellent. I would highly recommend R&B to anyone wishing to let their property.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

GoogleEdited review: November 2022. Ever since Helen left the rental side of the business, the service seems to have gone downhill. Its taken over a year to organise and find someone to deal with a damp problem we've had in our property we're renting with multiple pieces of furniture and clothes having to be thrown our due to mould. There doesn't seem to be any urgency whatsoever. Would not use again if you paid me. Only started contacting directly once I had gotten the councils housing team involved.
Edited review: Early January 2023. Left an R&B property for another company managed property, much happier. Had to leave keys at the end of tenancy not in Lancaster but in Torrisholme of all places. Emails regarding our deposit are going unanswered.
Third edit: Late January 2023. Still waiting for our deposit back after four weeks. Absolutely zero urgency from them.
Fourth edit: Late January 2023. They are trying to claim Β£500 from our deposit to fill in six screw holes in a wall, to paint a damp wall which they've known about for a year, and to replace kitchen flooring that we ourselves replaced after the original flooring (carpet in kitchen?!) was damp.
Fifth edit: Early February 2023. Still waiting for a response from the landlord/estate agents regarding the disputed Β£500.
Sixth edit in reply to businesses response: Since dealing with R&B, I'm unfortunately aware of the Deposit Protection Scheme and how it operates. It shouldn't however take nearly two months for it to have reached this stage. The absence of apologies or recognition of the above issues, instead naming baseless "breaches in tenancy" just seems to show how little the company cares about tenants.
If, and its a big if, the DPS side with the company and the landlord regarding the disputed funds I'll delete everything apart the first edited review from November 2022, I don't want to get into internet arguments with local businesses. I just wanted a nice, warm, comfortable house for myself and my partner, and like I've said previously, up until Helen left, everything was smooth and there were no issues. But no-one should have to put up with the poor customer service and response times of over a year to fix a damp problem. It's just not right.
JC Β· 17 June 2023
Agent replied Β· 16 June 2024
Thank you for your review however we do question a number of the points raised therein. It is true an agreement canβt be reached on the deposit between the two parties. You have agreed for the deposit to be mediated by the arbitration team at the Deposit Protection Scheme. In order for that to be actioned you must have received the necessary communication from both the DPS and ourselves. Having received this you have then logged onto the DPS website and completed the required procedure. At every trigger point in this process the communication is sent to you updating of progress from the DPS. Whilst this is in progress we feel it would be unprofessional to publicise the numerous breaches in tenancy.
We regret this action and it is always taken as a last resort. We hope the matter will be brought to a swift close for you whatever the outcome.

GoogleI was very impressed with Ratcliffe and Bibby. When Lee came to value my property, he stood out from the other estate agents I had seen, in his professional manner, presentation and each time I saw him in town on his way to properties, he was immaculately dressed. Talking to him, I felt relaxed and confident about selling my property and he was also honest. The fee was very reasonable compared to several other agents in the city. I also chose them because their logo is strong and classy, I liked the fact their office is in a high profile position in Lancaster, lots of glass showing a smart, bold, stylish interior. Often, with other estate agents I have dealt with, there has been information not passed on and I had to chase them up. With Ratcliffe and Bibby I did not once have cause to do this, the team communicated everything to me, they were professional but with a personal genuine touch and I felt comfortable to pop in to see if there were any updates, there was always a friendly face. Mainly I dealt with Judith who is lovely but the rest of the team in the office were also helpful, welcoming and I wanted to make the effort to write a review because they made the effort to sell my place in an enthusiastic way.

GoogleFirst class service from the full R&B team from our first enquiry to moving house. We were fortunate that not only were they the sellers agent for our house they were the sellers agent for the house we were buying as well. Can't fault one bit of the process that R&B were responsible for. Particular thanks to Tracey Love who handled the sale/purchase once offers had been agreed. She was always on the end of the phone and quick to offer support. We're very happy customers.

GoogleWe used R&B Estate Agents to sell our home and I have to say the service they provided was exceptional. From our initial meeting with Lee, who really engaged with us and helped us see the potential with our home, through to the completion of the sale, the whole team really took care of us and supported us throughout. A massive thank you must be given to Tracey Love who consistently provided outstanding levels of customer service and really looked after us throughout the whole process. Very happy with the service provided and would happily recommend them to anyone. Thank you R&B, thank you Tracey, we couldn't have done it without you.
