Selling our home with Mcgowen was easy from start to finish. The experience from the first appointment was positive, friendly and professional. We had an offer within a week and although there were some obstacles the team at Mcgowen offered help along the way even finding a specialised builder to carry out work that others refused to take on - Thanks Pat and Jonathan! It took a while, no fault of Mcgowen but we finally got there! Very happy with the service throughout and we wish the whole team a successful new year. If you want a family, friendly team to look after your property, Mcgowen are the ones you’re looking for x J & T x

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience with McGowan Homes. From start to finish, Julie, Joanne, Jonathan and the wider team were absolutely outstanding. The level of communication was excellent throughout, we were kept informed at every stage, and any queries were dealt with quickly, clearly, and professionally. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and we always felt in safe hands. What really stood out was how smoothly everything was handled. The whole process was managed efficiently, proactively, and without any stress or unnecessary back-and-forth, exactly what you want when going through a property sale. It’s clear this is a team that genuinely cares about their clients and takes pride in delivering a high level of service. They do exactly what they say they will, and they do it well. We would highly recommend McGowan Homes to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and results-driven estate agent. Brett & Lisa

I recently had multiple viewings in which I was shown around by Mark, Mark was by far the most helpful person I have ever had on a house viewing. He was very knowledgeable about the property, friendly and all around helpful I would highly recommend this companies services.

I live at the rear of a property that they manage etc, over two years now, looking at this, which was caused by their tenant and a tree in that garden. They are fully aware and make excuse after excuse. Appalling. Update: look at the pathetic reply, "stupid". Literally says everything there is to know about how your business behaves. Bravo for letting people know 👏🏻

I've just sold my deceased sisters house using McGowans Homes and can't praise them too highly. From start to finish their service was excellent -professional, effective and friendly. They sold the house quickly, at a good price and with a minimum of fuss. They were totally reliable and a first class team - very important to me as I live 250 miles away and never met any of their staff till after contracts were exchanged. They were at their best when arranging a couple of emergency maintenance repairs quickly and well, and in keeping the buyers goodwill. I've absolutely no hesitation in recommending McGowan Homes. Thank you to everyone involved

Jonathan and his team sold my first home for me 20 years ago and just sold another for me now. Great service, and highly recommended.

On behalf of my Father; "I recently sold my house with McGowans and would recommend them. Jonathan and the team were pleasant to deal with and thorough. I felt as if they took all of the work away from me, even going as far as to filter who actually came to view the house and carrying out the viewings - of which, there weren't many because we got offers pretty quickly! We were also introduced to a property McGowans were selling on behalf of somebody else and McGowans were able to co-ordinate everything so the process ran as smoothly as possible. Big thanks to Jonathan, Joanne, Julie and the team."

Arranged a viewing for a property for the Friday. Got a message on Monday reminding us to attend. I replied and said it had been changed to Friday. Apparently a "Senior moment". Friday was confirmed. Friday we had to arrange to come out of work early to view it and sat at the property for half an hour waiting. No phone call no message. No one turned up. A reply to my email this morning was there was a glitch in the system. But the property was showing as sold online. Not a great way to run a business. Won't be viewing any more with them and certainly won't be using to sell a property.

Had high hopes for my valuation booked for 3.30pm today after getting recommendations from family. Drove 50 minutes and waited for half an hour. When I checked my email at this point I realised the appointment had been made for tomorrow when I am working a 12 hour shift. I understand mistakes happen and that's fine but I was not even offered an apology by the lady on the phone when I politely phoned to cancel my valuation tomorrow. I did this so that no one turned up and was waiting tomorrow for no reason. The lady could not get me off the phone fast enough and did not thank me for ensuring no one's time was wasted tomorrow. Just little things that really matter. I will be going with another estate agent.

Having completed last week on our new purchase and also selling our previous home through McGowan I felt I should write a review. We have dealt with mcgowan homes before and they never disappoint. Even with CV19 and issues that came up in our chain the staff were always there to offer advice and support. Thanks again to Johnathan and the team for all their hard work 👍

Such a huge thank you to the entire team at McGowan Homes, we were buying the property from the vendors they were representing and they went above and beyond. Joanne was great without the team the process would of been so stressful, shout out to Ron who showed us around the house 4 times by the time all our paeents had seen the house. Thank you so much, we can't wait to open our prosecco🍾

We advertised our home with McGowan Homes. Jonathan, Joanne and especially Julie were amazing. Great communication, speedy responses to our various enquiries and would most certainly recommend using this estate agent to sell your home.

I have just completed house sale with McGowan Homes. I found staff to be really helpful, positive, friendly and happy team, it was a difficult sale for me because I was selling my mum's house and then halfway through the sale had to apply for probate which took 13 weeks but all went well. I was very happy with the team at McGowan's.

EDIT: We since instructed Ryder Dutton in Middleton, they have been around to both properties, took the time to explain everything and offer price ranges - provided a digital presentation within an hour of leaving. Stark contrast to McGowan, I have no idea what McGowan charge. Really disappointing. Jonathan, the director came to do a face to face valuation on behalf of a cash buyer - we were in a hurry to sell, and 8 days later the cash buyer hadn't received the report and had to instruct another agency to do it. Staff on the phone were less than helpful and didn't seem to want to talk to me or chase it. I was actually considering also selling my home using them but I'm completely put off by the lack of contact, broken promises to value my home and snail pace work.

Absolutely atrocious service, My father was enquiring about a house and the agent speaking to him was extremely rude asking his to send proof of mortgage and proof of funds before she could show him the property. This is ridiculous because he would not be looking for a house that he could not afford. My father felt offended to the point that he told the agent that he is not interested in buying a house from McGowan homes as her behaviour was extremely disrespectful. Just like that one of you're agents lost a potential buyer for an expensive property!NegativeProfessionalism

So today the purchase of our onward property that was advertised by McGowan Homes fell through after a horrendous 5 month ordeal. A lot of the blame sits with the Venders but I must say McGowan's management of the whole process has been terrible. Firstly, it took a month for the memorandum of sale to be sent off causing the initial delay. Then upon the completion of the legal work we have spent over 2 months going around in circles. We would call up every few days to received the same update from the 'ledger'. This sometimes resulted in them making a token phone call to someone involved in the chain and more often then not leaving a voicemail and that was that. They do not return your phone calls when then say they will and blamed everyone else possible for the delays. Covid-19 was used as an excuse on least 6/7 occasions, therefore I think the WHO should get in contact as it is a world first! Then to top it off we received a call from the owner Jonathon McGowan at 5:30 of the day of our deadline to try and blag that we could only exchange and complete on the same day!! I would highly recommend you think twice about submitting on offer on a house advertised by this company, I know we certainly will.NegativeResponsiveness

Not one for writing reviews, but here I feel I must. During a recent house sale of mine I asked my estate agent in Halifax ( Redwoods) to ring McGowan homes and make definitely sure that the ‘CASH’ buyer at the start of the chain was …
