GoogleHad a seamless and wonderful experience with Pat Robson. Kudos to Amber and Danielle who were extremely efficient and professional all throughout the process. When I moved in, the unit was so clean that I only needed to unpack my personal things. I was extremely pleased with the level of service.

GoogleBelow average experience and with 0 expectation setting from this real estate. Being an investor, I have a very good understanding of the quality of service to except from estate agents - they, unfortunately, fall well short of that and I would personally try to avoid them in future.

FacebookWould not recommend.
Allowed my daughter to travel up from York on a train to view a flat before cancelling the viewing 30 mins ahead of the appointment.
Bad customer care and dreadful diary management, also no acknowledgment of our complaint.
Phillippa · 6 June 2023
Agent replied · 30 July 2023
Hi Phillippa, I can see from our notes that your daughter's viewing was cancelled an hour before the viewing due to the property being let. Unfortunately, viewings are booked in on a first come first serve basis and therefore there is a chance that the property may be let before all viewings have taken place. As we are required to place any offer to the Landlord as soon as they come in, there is always a chance that the viewing may be cancelled as the landlord may accept an offer at any time. I can see that we notified your daughter as soon as the property had been secured and therefore we were unable to do so any earlier. I appreciate the inconvenience of this for your daughter, however due to the fast pace of the current rental market, unfortunately it is unavoidable.

FacebookIt must be one of the worst business to be in......the middleman between tenants and owners! They have managed our house for over 25 years so I think that speaks for itself. It’s a family business and always helped us to the best of their ability but of course they are well paid for their services. A full recommendation to anyone needing an Agent.

FacebookAwful people who work here. I had the worst experience as a tenant with them. They only care about the money - I had housemates who smoked weed, were loud late at night, damaged the house and would break into my room. They do NOTHING to help or try and help I’m anyway even when the bad tenants break contract. The only time they contacted was to see if there was any damage they could over charge me for. Landlords do not associate yourselves with these people.

FacebookMy daughter in student housing is waiting for a response since Monday. No hot water or electricity. Just been told that they have other priorities?!?!!
When I asked do they agree it’s a safety issue was told it’s inconvenient! Very poor service up to now.
Will be taking this further if things aren’t addressed.

Hi Angie,
Thank you for your review. I can see that an issue with an electric shower and the lighting tripping on one floor was reported to us on Tuesday evening at 23:59. The Landlord was notified on Wednesday morning once this was brought to our attention. The Landlord has their own team of contractors and we have been informed that they will be attending today. There are other bathrooms with washing facilities available in the house in the meantime, however we appreciate that the lighting is a priority and this will be addressed today along with the issue with the shower once the Landlord's contractor attends.
Kind Regards, Property Management Team

GoogleGo to Ridley instead of Pat Robscam.
Tenancy signing was fine. However, maintenance was slow throughout (including taking several weeks to resolve wastewater from the bathroom of an adjacent property leaking through our ceiling?!). Visited with less than 24 hours notice throughout lockdowns for viewings, yet they were unable to offer an attended checkout for covid reasons (despite this being DPS best practice!).
Tried to con us out of various aspects of the deposit accompanied by completely illogical reasoning: we were blamed for a pre existing stain on the underside of the mattress protector and an accompanying stain on the mattress - they failed to understand the simple concept that both sides of the protector would have to be stained for it to be our fault. A hallway light was supposedly not working despite it working when we left, and apparently an image of the light fixture was sufficient evidence to say the bulb had gone during our tenancy (I suppose this only actually proves that the light does indeed exist? 👏).
Their photo was taken two and a half hours after the tenancy ended and apparently that’s okay, but when we sent a video of the light working this wasn’t good enough because it was taken on the night before 🥱.
Awful attitude over the phone and via email.
I asked for a copy of the physical inventory which I returned to them promptly as directed at the start of our tenancy, to which they refused as “the checkout report information is on it” and “this is private company information” (something to hide?🤪)
In the end they gave up and returned the full deposit “for the sake of (not) continuing this argument” (clearly not having much confidence for the DPS dispute that would have otherwise ensued).
Terrible company with no values: leave the property in an immaculate condition and they’ll find something to wrongfully blame on you regardless.

FacebookAbsolutely awful housing agency. After having numerous problems in the house throughout the year this housing company is now trying to keep all of our damage deposits. Bearing in mind that one of these problems included an incident where they did not inform us of a contractor being in the house who behaved very inappropriate towards myself. They constantly ignored our emails of any problems throughout the year and they are now ignoring our emails of why we will not get the majority of our deposit back. The house was cleaned to an immaculate standard compared to what we moved into it like (this involved moving into a sweet wrapper on the floor in one of the bedrooms!). We have only received a very brief email informing us that apparently it costs £181 to clean it and £66 pound for "general maintenance" and light bulbs replacements (even though we did actually replace these). With any other housing agency I might have accepted this, but considering they took money off the last tenants and did not complete the work that they were meant to use the money for I highly doubt these costs are accurate. My friend is now awaiting a reply as to how we put a complaint in and my advice to anyone would be to definitely NOT get your house or flat through this agency.

FacebookThe worst estate agent in Newcastle, extortionate prices and absolutely no urgency to any problems, we had rats coming in through the washing machine, the washing machine and dishwasher were broken almost all year as well as my flatmates bed, the flat above leaked water through all of our lights (which we are now getting charged £60 for new bulbs for some unknown reason) and after making numerous calls and emails, we were lucky to get a reply within 3 weeks let alone anyone out to sort the problems. Please please don't use this company

Hi Geoff, I can see from our diary that the property was let an hour before your appointment and that we notified your daughter of this as soon as it had let. Unfortunately, due to the current fast pace of the rental market, we are unable to guarantee that the property would be available when your viewing is booked for. It is dependent on the landlord securing a tenant. If you would like to discuss this further with a member of the team, feel free to get in touch.

FacebookWhenever a problem has come to our attention, and we have communicated this to Pat Robson, our property manager is always quick in responding and immediately gets someone out to help resolve the situation. The only downside that comes to mind however, is the lack of understanding for the need of locks on bedrooms in a student home - which are regularly a target for burglaries.

Facebookhelpful agents who responded reasonably quickly to our complaints. We received a new tumble dryer, toaster, oven and fridge during our 12 month contract due to the old ones being in poor condition so they looked after us. We received most of our deposit back which was fair. The only real negative was that I had to pay £35 for a reference for my new house
