Would like to thank the Stockton office for handling the sale of my house. In particular Lindsey has gone the extra mile to make a stressful time smoother. She helped keep the sale on track, keeping me informed along the way. Very friendly and professional throughout. Couldn't recommend this team highly enough

TrustpilotFive star service from Smith and Friends
We would highly recommend Smith and Friends. They were extremely proactive in order to achieve our sale and we were kept informed at all times. The marketing was excellent and their marketing on Rightmove really stands out from the crowd. The photographs were of excellent quality and the listing was clear and concise. Nothing was too much trouble. The excellent service also continued with Joy in sales progression who kept us up to date with everything and ensured our sale went through. We also purchased a property from them at the same time and this was handled extremely professionally also. We have used the Darlington office a number of times and wouldn't hesitate in recommending them.

**UPDATE 30 April 2026**
Hi Tommy, the gas engineer advises me that the boiler has been fixed and the vendor will be paying the invoice. We apologise for any inconvenience but as mentioned previously we are not gas engineers and there wouldn't be in a position to sign it off as your review states. With very best wishes.
Mark Smith
Managing Director
Hi Tommy
I am sorry to read your review and as per our conversation last night I hope the gas engineer has been in contact with you. We inspect the property for security and meter readings not testing the services as we are not qualified gas or electric engineers.
I shall take this situation up with the vendor on your behalf.
Kind regards

Smith&Friends were superb in every aspect of selling our bungalow in Seaton Carew, Hartlepool. From the initial visit to value the property, to the preparation of the sales particulars and a rapid connection with the eventual purchasers. All contact with the sales office and the wonderful team was first class. Highly recommended

The Darlington office were simply superb. I sold a house previously and I trust them to do a great job - which they did. Louis Holmes branch manager was so helpful and supportive and Joy the sales progresser kept me informed every step of the way. The whole team are attentive, caring and efficient. I was really surprised to sell my mother's house so quickly despite the down turn. Thanks tk the team the whole experience wasn't stressful at all. Highly recommend.

The key handover was not really pleasant as I have to go to the office to collect it, the signboard *for sale* was not removed until few weeks after I moved in to the property. I still have to go back to collect other spare keys after 2weeks.I suggest hand over of key to a property should be a memorable experience for any client(s).

Darlington officeStaff were superb, we had to travel from Suffolk to Darlington twice at short notice to view property- the staff couldn’t have been more helpful and supportive. Suzanne who showed us around the properties is an absolute credit to your company. Olivia who has been in contact with us is just brilliant- the management should be so proud of their staff.Thank you so much for making a stressful time for us as easy as you could.

TrustpilotMiddlesbrough Office
Middlesbrough OfficeHaving been with the Middlesbrough Team for in excess of 15 years, I've always found them very helpful. I've had a few issues and occasionally a tenant hasn't worked out but appropriate action was taken, where necessary and everything resolved. I've worked mainly with Nikki for a number of years now and she has always been extremely professional, giving good guidance when needed and I would, and have, recommended them to other people.
