GoogleWalton Robinson's standards are frankly disgusting. I've more than once encountered tenants complaining of mold infestations, some of whichvhave even caused respiratory issues. This in particular is absolutely appalling in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic.NegativeResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Hi Jose. I am sorry to see that you have chosen to leave a poor review for us. Having checked our system I cannot see that you have had any communications with our Lettings Department, so I would like to ask for a little more information if possible. Please can you call me on 0191 231 6071 at a convenient time. Amy. WR.

GoogleAbsolutely awful letting agents, I would not recommend these to anyone I know. The staff are very unhelpful and we had many many problems over the year we were with them. Getting our deposit back also took TWO MONTHS which I think it completely unacceptable. Worst letting agents in Newcastle!

Hi Emma, please accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused during your viewings with us. As explained, this was a highly unusual circumstance to which the locks to the apartments had to be changed by the fire brigade for safety reasons, due to a sudden leak within the building. If you would like to discuss any of this further please don’t hesitate to contact us on 0191 243 1000 or enquiries@waltonrobinson.com.

GoogleWould give 0 rating if possible because of how bad and poorly they treat staff/apprentices and customers. Rude, unprofessional and judgemental towards employees and customers. Students and basically anyone looking for a property or thinking about working here or doing an apprenticeship avoid and beware!

GoogleI have been a managed landlord for over 10 years at Walton Robinson, throughout that time I have had excellent service and support. Samantha Anderson now looks after my portfolio and I can’t speak highly enough about her efficiency and professionalism. Overall, a fantastic company.

GoogleAs a landlord I have used Walton Robinson for 15 years now. I have always found them to act in a professional manner. My properties have had a high degree of occupancy and my property managers have been approachable, responsive and easy to deal with.

GoogleAlex Cole gave a really good couple of viewings and is a great bloke. All the staff members were really nice and helpful. The signing system on your phone is annoying and arduous. Very hard to see writing. Estate agent fee was high though

Despite the professional appearance, rent was overcharged from what was advertised and administration fees were extremely high. Corporate and deceiving. Would never recommend.

Hi Adele, sorry you feel that the information given on your viewing could have been more detailed. Whilst we don’t give out paper copies of every property’s particulars, we do accompany all of our viewings so hope that you had chance to ask any questions that you may have had. We also provide ‘Viewing Notes’ sheets with an accompanying map of the local area for you to take your own notes down about each property, and hope that these proved useful. Thanks.

Where the same review appears twice we show it once. We leave out reviews that name another agent or another of the brand's offices.
