Wendy Burbridge

Wendy Burbridge has done an amazing job selling my property. I have been dealing with this lady for 12 months and had a few glitches along the way with the buyers. Wendy has picked up the pieces. Sending emails and many phonecalls to our buyers solicitors and copying me into everything. During the past few weeks when Wendy is at work she has checked in on me daily. Made sure every professional involved with the sale knew what was happening. Thank you so much Wendy for doing an amazing job. It has taken the stress away from me. What a wonderful lady you are giving me a 1st class service.Theresa

Fantastic letting agent to deal with

We had a fantastic experience with Pattisons, they were able to get us in to our new home in no time and made all the paper work easy and stress free. Laura in particular went above and beyond, she's a real asset to the team, she was always warm, friendly and happy to help with anything when we rang and we couldn't have asked for a better agent.

Had two viewings to see a property in which the women showing us around had no clue about the property and was unable to answer basic questions such as where the boiler is in the house or how old the house was; regardless went ahead and placed an offer through Alison in the jarrow branch which was accepted in which stated email confirmation would be sent which infact was never sent at all; called Allison from the jarrow branch up after confirming deposit funds and proof of solicitors and meetings for mortgage signing and she turned around and states that another offer has been accepted on the house ALTHOUGH this was multiple days after our offer was "accepted"Unorganised and somewhat unpleasant experience, very unprofessional and unfortunately I can only but wish the best for anyone dealing with the jarrow branch as my experience was dreadful due to the fact they think they could take the mick given I was a first time buyer and doubt my seriousness in purchasing a property through them

Lisa, a star agent with Psttinsons.

Lisa was our agent at Pattinson. Always available and super helpful. She found us a property and negotiated through a difficult situation. Ultimately we withdrew from the sale having had a completion date changed 4 times by the vendor. We moved from Spain on the strength of the original date. This left us homeless with 5 dogs and furniture in store. Although Lisa was losing a sale she found us a rental with our dogs. This is service beyond reproach. Thank you Lisa for your totally unselfish service. ****XXX I have just noticed a negative review from the vendors partner. Full of untruths and total misconceptions. Despicable to blame the agent for they and their builders fault, which left us homeless and out of pocket by thousands of pounds

Thank you Wendy Burbridge

Very professional man turned up to value the house and everything was dealt with quickly. When the house was on the market there were several occasions when accompanied viewings were booked and no one turned up including the representative from the estate agent without letting me know. This was very awkward as my niece was renting the property and was rushing in from work and preparing for viewings that didn’t happen. Poor communication. This whole sale experience was a nightmare once we accepted an offer from a property investor. We were told he had a mortgage in principal and was ready to go. We completed all the paperwork from RAW Clark solicitors and returned it the same day. 10 weeks later I contacted the solicitor to find out why it hadn’t heard anything yet. She was very rude saying “ can’t make him buy your house” . Clearly my call prompted her to find your what was going on only to discover that the buyer wasn’t using the solicitor that my solicitor thought they were. I was then asked to deal with the case via Wendy Burbridge from Pattinsons. After a tricky start, Wendy was great chasing things up and trying to move the sale forward. The buyer however was telling her one thing and me another to prolong the sale I felt. In the meantime we were accruing a huge amount of charges in bills and lost rent totalling £2500. Even though Wendy was trying her best, the solicitor was less than effective. I was having to send a lot of emails to chase things up as well as Wendy. At one point I contacted to buyer to find out what the delay was and he told me he was waiting for searches to come back. As I thought this highly unlikely I contacted the land charges department myself to chase them up. She informed me that the searches had only been requested in early October - yet we had started the sale and completed and returned our forms on 18th May. This was very frustrating as at no point had the solicitor chased up the sale. Thankfully Wendy and I were both on the case. Eventually- as we had expected would happen -the buyer asked to lower the price of the house by £5500 so that we could complete. As Wendy was on holiday at the time someone else negotiated a price of £92000. Wendy was monitoring emails whilst on holiday and keeping in touch with me. As soon as Wendy returned to work things began to move at a faster pace and we completed in December. Into the new year and although we had received the money for the house we had not had a completion statement from the solicitor so I contacted Wendy. She immediately contacted the solicitor and got it sorted for us. At every stage, Wendy copied me into emails she was sending on our behalf to keep us in the loop which was great.I really can’t fault Wendy- she was professional and helpful throughout going above and beyond at times to make sure we got everything completed. Unfortunately we can’t say the same for our solicitors and did recommend to your office that you use someone else as they provide a less than professional service falling short of the code of practice for solicitors in many areas. They really don’t give your company a good service. Thanks Wendy- your were a trooper in what was a very stressful experience.

I have given our experience 5 stars because of the service from Wendy Burbridge

I have given our experience 5 stars, it’s not for the company but purely for the service Wendy Burbridge provided. The sale was stagnating and I truly believe it still wouldn’t have completed hadn’t it been for the work Wendy did. She drives the sale forward and is always available to answer any queries you have. If I knew Wendy was involved in my sale I wouldn’t hesitate to use Pattinsons in the future, she is a credit to the company.

The team are amazing, especially Wendy!

The team are amazing and very helpful! We had a long process with getting our home due to new safety acts and the solicitors but Wendy Burbridge was amazing with keeping us up to date with what was going on and was checking in with us weekly. She made our experience so comfortable and she was very helpful throughout the whole process! I would 110% recommend Pattinsons because of Wendy's service :)

Her fast action and ability to communicate with all parties involved; Solicitors, finance, the various departments of Pattinson,buyer ect. culminated in a smooth sale for us.Her staff were also very polite and helpful everything I rang Washington.Sam has a strong knowledge of 3rd parties who are also competent professional people ie finance, solicitors.

Thieving crooks

Awful company, do not use, my property in auction for 2 months with no bids reduced on their advice they knew I was on a tight schedule to sell, last minute before auction ending a bid comes in but they didn't know how to get hold of the bidders, it was Pattinsons who put the bid in, I did not want to continue any further with them so they are now charging me £12,000 for NOT selling my property.Absolute thieving crooks.

Thank you for great service

I just want to thank Carly at Washington Pattinsons. It was my first time renting and she made the whole process run smoothly. She was very professional and had a lot of knowledge. She really listened to what I was looking for and made me feel very comfortable. She is an asset to your company and I look forward to purchasing my first home with her very soon. Kind Regards,

Everyone knows that selling a house is very stressful. For that reason alone it's great to have someone supportive who can navigate you through. Step forward Donna. From start to finish she's kept us informed, translating some of the legal gobbledygook and keeping us informed at each stage of the process. Always with a cheerful and positive attitude. Thank you

I have been in touch with Carly List at the Washington Galleries Branch recently.From my first contact with her, viewing a property with herself, and the follow up contact with her, she could not have been more helpful with the process of buying my next property. She has taken extra time to keep in touch with myself and the vendor of the property I am hoping to buy. She has been very keen, helpful and polite at all times.Thank You Carly, and hopefully I'll be settled in my new home soon.

Thank you

Just want to say a big thank you to all the staff at Pattinson’s in Heaton.... especially Hayley who has been an absolute star! Without their support I think I would have gone completely mad and probably never got to the point of being able to move house. Thank you for all your hard work

The BEST!!!!

Carly List put my house up for sale on Monday, booked 11 viewings by Tuesday morning and sold the house by Wednesday morning. There is nobody more dedicated, invested or hard working than the girls at Pattinsons Washington, if you’re debating which estate agent to use to sell your property let this be your sign, they’re amazing and I can’t praise them enough. Will never use anyone else again.

Terrible Estate Agent to Work with (West Road Newcastle)!

I put an offer for a property in Newcastle (NE4). I was told that it was the best and highest offer. They asked me to send agreement in principle and then mysteriously wasted lots of time (three weeks)until someone put same amount of offer and their offer was accepted! Everything was very fishy. The staff are miss connected!

benlaw grove no longer interested

We were supposed to have a viewing today and it got cancelled 20 minutes before because they misplaced the keys. Absolutely ridiculous after having to leave work early having financial impact. Not to mention a 40 minute drive.It affected another potential sale, who also arrived at the property along with us.And unfortunately has put us off the sale of the Benlaw Grove property.

Even if you tell them you're not interested, they'll still call you!

We were interested in viewing a property via Pattinson, we saw it and thought it had potential but we were too early in our selling cycle.Instead we asked to receive a property valuation, although this all went according to plan, upon receiving the email valuation this felt different to what was actually said in person and in the end this was a very different experience to the two other property valuations we received.Anyway, we completely lost all confidence in Pattinson on the whole from this experience and asked not to be contacted again. I have now received 4 additional calls from them to 'check in with us' and advise us that we can still ditch our current agency and sell via them. Honestly, would never use them to buy or sell, especially with the pushy sales techniques. A GDPR 'forget my details' request has now been sent because it's beyond a joke to keep calling when you've already been told we are not interested!

Poor Communication & Unsafe Living Conditions

I'm very disappointed with the handling of this issue. I collected the property key on the 4th april 25 and completed my inventory, during which I noticed the boiler/gas system wasn't working. Despite emailing, I received no positive response and had to follow up with a call. It's now been 13 days without gas or heating, and I have a toddler. I was advised to contact Northern Gas Networks myself. Fortunately, a contractor arrived within 30 minutes and confirmed an internal pipe leak. The report has been forwarded to the maintenance team, I sincerely hope this is resolved urgently.

Amazing staff

If it wasn’t for Wendy Burbridge, this wouldn’t be a 5 star review.Wendy is amazing and an absolute credit to the company. I cannot express how greatful we were for her help.However, Pattinsons recommended the solicitors we used who were absolutely appalling. Like I say, if it wasn’t for Wendy, this wouldn’t be a 5 star review and I’d be ranting about how we were stuck with ignorant solicitors for almost a year because of your recommendation!Please do not recommend terrible solicitors. It will only decrease the trust people have in you.

Absolute cowboys

Absolute cowboys, they have been mismanaging my property for a long time. First they didn’t get the contractor to repair as agreed and completely ignored my instructions and at times they approve repairs without even informing me. I would say definitely read the clauses on the contract, you can’t stop the management during tenancy tenure. sent a letter Susan Moore and she failed to even get back, horrible company!- replaying to the reply: that’s a lie I can attach the amount of time I’ve email and even sent a formal letter to your CFO Susan Moore. Absolutely shameless!
