TrustpilotAvoid at any cost. Don't ever bid if you're looking to buy a house.
I was a first time buyer and they trapped me dus to my lack of experience in buying property. Lie after lie. They made me pay seller's solicitor fee of £3500 which was written at the bottome of the special conditions in very small words. Told me the property will be in a vacant possession but it wasn't as this was another trap just to make me bid on the property. And they are so many things I can't be asked to write as I am so annoyed and frustrated with their service.

TrustpilotCommunication Issues?
We were frustrated and disappointed in our tenant find dealings this time as we have been customers of Pattinson's for several years and this has been our worst experience. Progress from prospective tenants viewing the property to actually taking up the tenancy was slow, we were constantly chasing the local office for answers. We also received two incorrect communications from the central office saying the tenancy had started when it obviously hadn't. The individual agents involved were all pleasant and helpful but perhaps more communication between them, the central office and us could have made the experience more positive.

Dear Mrs Simth, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we’re genuinely sorry to hear that this experience fell short of the standard you’ve come to expect from Pattinson, particularly as a long-standing landlord with us. We fully appreciate how frustrating delays and conflicting communications can be, and it’s disappointing to hear that you felt the need to chase for updates. While we’re pleased to know the individual team members were helpful, your comments around coordination and communication between offices are taken very seriously. We’d really welcome the opportunity to look into this properly and learn from it, so please could you email further details to reviews@pattinson.co.uk including the property address and timeframe involved, so we can review what happened and respond appropriately. Many thanks, the Pattinson team.

GoogleThe Heaton branch of Pattinsons have gone above and beyond to get my move over the line. They intervened with obstructive solicitors, liased with our buyers and literally kept me sane. Nothing was too much trouble for them. So giving a massive thank you to Hayley, James and Chantelle who are a fantastic team and the jewel in the crown for Pattinsons.

TrustpilotTerrible
Terrible. Premises rented to my son in such a state of what I can only call neglect to the point of dangerous. At no point have they admitted any sense of responsibility for this or that issues raised were of concern. Beware before renting from them and complete any safety checks yourself including the whole property if taking a flat or studio apartment.

Thank you for your review. Where Pattinson is neither the owner nor the managing agent of the building and responsibility for its overall condition does not rest with us. While these matters fall outside our legal and direct control, we always endeavour to support tenants and raise concerns where possible within our remit. Some issues, however remain beyond our authority to resolve directly. As an update, we now understand that this matter has been fully resolved for your son and that the outcome meets your expectations.
Many thanks

TrustpilotFRAUD-They bid on their properties & increase sale price for commissions.
I was bidding on a property when the time finished and I was suppose to be the winner. I obviously won but they didn’t send me a confirmation email saying I won. Everything was there including the legal pack. They made excuses to not let the property go £10k cheaper.ABSOLUTE SCAM. They Control The Website and have people working from home bidding on the sale price so they get their commission. GREEDY BEGGERS.

Attempted to poach a property whilst valuing it for a house buying company I had appointed. Left their business card and said they would be able to sell it if we didn’t get the figure we wanted from the company. Then went on to value the property £100,000 below 4 other local agents resulting in us having our initial valuation from the company reduced by £70,000.

TrustpilotIntegrity is not their Middle Name!
My partner was selling her bungalow through the Morpeth branch. An offer was accepted but unfortunately the buyers turned out to be time wasters very late in the process. Whilst this was not the fault of Pattinson, the issue we have is that they encouraged the buyers to back out by arranging a rental property for them, then arranging viewings of alternative properties on the market. There was more than a hint that they misled them on how quickly our new house would be ready to move into. No doubt thinking of the extra commission, on the false assumption that we would keep the bungalow on the market through them regardless. They drip-fed us information without being clear that the buyers were planning to back out and that they were facilitating other options for them. This meant we had packed and were ready to move house when they finally gave us the truth. We felt quite betrayed.This is the second time I have experienced Pattinson acting with a lack of integrity. A few years ago I rented a property via the Forest Hall branch. They knowingly misled me about how long the property would be available for. The owner was due to return from the Navy in a year. They knew this, (as confirmed later by the owner) but told me it had been bought as a long term investment and would be available for the forseeable future.I will never use Pattinsons again as I don't feel they can be trusted.

TrustpilotPATTINSON MORPTH ARE A HORRIBLE ESTATE AGENTS !!!
*** UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU RENT A PROPERTY FROM PATTINSON ESTATE AGENTS MORPETH ***1) I arranged to view an apartment on Monday 7th October 2024 with Pattinsons Estate Agents Morpeth which stated on their website available to rent from the 16th September 2024.2) Charlotte Bruce showed me around the apartment which I thought would be a lovely home🏡. Charlotte Bruce was very polite when showing me around the property however gave me false information saying that the property was available to move into.3) I really liked the property and offered to pay 6 months rent in advance at the property viewing and showed my banking app to prove I was in a position pay six months upfront. I also showed my work DBS check to show that I would be a trustworthy Tennant.4) Charlotte Bruce did not inform me that the property needed a new Gas Safety Certificate and an Electrical Safety Report !!! Even though the property was advertised on Pattinson Morpeth Website available from the 16th September.5) I paid the £200 Holding Fee the day after the viewing with good faith to secure the property after paying the Holding Fee there were no updates whatsoever unless I contacted Pattinsons Estate Agents first.6) 17 days after paying my Holding fee the Gas Safety check had still had not been completed !!! I then asked for my Holding Fee to be refunded.7) Charlotte Mason from Pattinsons phoned me and refused to refund my £200.00 Holding Fee despite the Gas Safety check not been completed and no suggested moving in date for the property 17 days after paying my holding deposit !!!8) 21 days after paying the Holding Fee and only just finding out a move in date and me informing Eloise Wallace that I would be complaining to the Property Ombudsman with a large amount of supporting evidence Eloise Wallace agreed to refund my Holding Fee.Eloise Wallace did not apologise for the terrible service I had received from Pattinsons Estate Agents Morpeth !!!*** Morpeth is a very small Town and if the only option is to rent a property through Pattinson Estate Agents then make sure you see a valid Gas Safety Certificate & Electricity Report before paying your Holding Fee ***

TrustpilotExtortion.
There is no financial incentive for them to sell your home for the best price for you. The £6000 fixed commission puts paid to that whether you sell for 1m or £100. I would carefully consider going down this route before anything else. They managed to organise only two viewings in three weeks with their miserly property investors.Furthermore, they have been misleading in details prior to signing binding contracts, even when I pressed them for assurances at the start. Not good.They managed two viewings in one month. Other agents will get that in one week. But the worst thing we found is the lies and trapping you into commitment. It has been a total waste of time, money, and stress. And they STILL prevent me from selling with another agent because of a clause in the contract you sign!Absolutely disgraceful that this business practice goes on.8th Nov Update- They are asking for 1200 pounds even though they did not sell the house in the auction! They want paying for something that didn't sell! The house is effectively shackled, doing nothing, because I can't seem to get out of an association with them. It's ludicrous.... they aren't making money. I'm not selling anything. I don't know when it will end. What's the point!?Another update- When the agreement ends they send you a 'list' - some 200-300 here... of interested named individuals. (bearing in mind only two people came to view the property, so this could just be an email shot to their clients, not that they are actively interested in purchasing). If anyone on this list expresses interest in your home in the future, even under a different agent you may be liable for costs. Unbelievable. They have you under a barrel. It's all wrong.

GoogleWould give zero stars if it’s an option.
Drove this morning 3 hours from Scotland to view a house in heaton, the agent phoned us in the morning to say she would be late 15 mins, we said make it 30 mins.
Arrived at the house, nobody there,
No calls, no communication
Phoned the office, got told, we waited for you and you never turned up
Explained we drove 3 hrs to view, careless man on the phone, couldn’t be bothered.
I feel sorry for the owners of the properties advertised with them.
