SDL Auctions North West Manchester reviews

★★★★★ 1/5

Extremely disappointed with SDL Auctions. Called about a property, they said it was available and booked a viewing for myself. At the same time mentioned 3 other people will be viewing. Turned up to the property on the day of the viewing to find out the vendor had no clue about the viewing and that the property was sold. Called SDL Auctions and asked them why I wasn’t informed about this and they just said that the property is sold and nothing they can do. Bear in mind, the individual clearly said I had spoken to member of the team on the 5th December about the house. So he wasn’t sure why I wasn’t told as he said the property was sold on the 4th December. Very unprofessional.

I used SDL auctions to sell an investment property of mine, and honestly couldn't be happier with the result. I got over £10k more than what the high street agents had quoted us and it was all completed within 4 weeks. The staff are fantastic too, so helpful. In particular want to thank Andy Thompson for all his hard work. Would highly recommend!

This was our first Auction experience, and even under the unusual lockdown, virtual circumstances it was highly successful. Professional Auctioneers who handled the situation perfectly. More importantly to us the after sales care was second to none, Andy went way beyond call of duty helping us, right up to Completion today. Thank you Andy, stay safe and wish you all continued success.

SDL Auctions sold my late brother"s bungalow yesterday. We achieved more than we expected. The whole experience has been stress free.Alex was always professional yet friendly and advised me clearly on how the auction system works. I would definitely recommend SDL Auctions if yoou"re thinking iof selling your home. It eliminates so much of the stress involved in selling in the usual fashion. Also .many thanks to all the staff I spoke to in the office over the past month. Again all very efficient and easy to contact.

Attempted to register to bid on a property. Dean left me an answer phone message to enquire if I needed help which I thought was excellent. I phoned back to SDL and was advised he was on lunch and would return my call which didn't happen …

Very nervous period selling a house by Auction but Scott walked us through the process explaining why we had to start at a certain price to attract bidders, and trust in the value that we had all agreed it was worth. He was there for all …

It was our first experience of selling a property at auction. Andy and the team were exceptionally helpful and professional at every stage of the process. We took their advice on the guide and reserve price which resulted in selling the property for an excellent price. We would definitely use SDL again.

Have dealt with many property auction houses over the years. This is one I would not do business with again. Firstly has more properties withdrawn at the last minute than any of its competitors. I guess because not enough bidders registered. The legal packs again in relation to their competitors seem basic and lacking. The cynical would argue theres good reason for omitting certain facts/documents in the legal pack. Fees are the highest out there although yes they are clearly disclosed prior.

SDL are very UNPROFESSIONAL and do not value the time of their customers. i would not even rate them with 1 star. It was my first and very last experience with them. Took a day of work and was given the green light to bid on the property in the morning, sat all day behind the computer only to find out late afternoon that the property was sold prior to the auction. No one bothered contacting me even though they had all my details. i contacted them afterwards, only for them to come back with pathetic excuses!

This team, led by Andy Thompson, is one of the best on the national auction scene. Andy is very knowledgeable about the local market and displays competent abilities in providing solutions tailored to the clients' idiosyncratic needs. I always go back to Andy and his team always over delivers.

Jazmine Stone, Customer Service Skills totally bland. No introduction, very negative attitude. Assistants saying that she was at Lunch, then stating yes she is working but carnt find her. I've dealt with idiots better than this.. So glad I've gone else where..

Brilliant service, it is my 1st time selling in a property auction. Had a few auction houses come to carry out an assessment on a commercial property. Chris from SDL came across as very professional and knowledgeable, Chris informed me he would keep me fully informed all through the process which he did. Unfortunately the property didn't sell at auction as it was a quiet month due to bank holidays. After the auction SDL starting getting offers. Sam in the office who deals with the offers and exchange of contracts was amazing. She kept me fully informed on each offer and her expert advice was very reassuring. If you want the best price and piece of mind when selling at auction I would recommend using SDL.

I can’t recommend SDL auctions highly enough from start to finish they helped me achieve the best possible price for my properties. They managed to sell all five of my properties at the same auction special thanks to Adam . Will definitely use you again .

Have sold twice with SDL in the past couple of years. Am aiming for a hat trick. Am extremely nervous but excited at the same time. Their only weakness is THEY DO NOT VET prospective purchasers thoroughly enough for my liking. I got a lot of local tourists, last time, who sent their rented relatives, to case my house. I believe if a potential buyer was genuine, they would prove Upfront to SDL, they have the funds available. I would of given 5*'s otherwise. Alf is my pseudonym.

Can't speak highly enough of SDL-Graham Penny. From the initial valuation by Robert Stone to the fall of the hammer was a mere five and a half weeks, which initially made me a little nervous. However the advice, communication and support I received throughout the process was amazing and so much appreciated. The office ladies were there at every stage of the process to help and guide me, the friendliness and professionalism of the whole operation shone through. Auction day was amazing, again so professional and again friendly. The result was extremely satisfactory and I would not hesitate to use SDL again. Many thanks to Robert Stone and the whole team.

1st time ever going to a auction and it was an amazing experience, all the team were welcoming and friendly. There was a house that just feel short of the reserve price and I enquired about it at the end and came across a young lady name Sam who sat me down and we discussed the property. She was extremely helpful with negotiations and sorting a deal which myself and the seller was happy with, she even stayed overtime after the auction was finished to complete the sale of the property which was much appreciated. Thank you again.

I am very happy with Sdl auctions. . It was a very sad time for me to be selling my property. . I can honestly say, from my first initial enquiry through to the sale, everyone I spoke to were really helpful. Nothing was too much for them. . They were patient, kind and caring throughout the process. . A special Thank You to Andy and the lady who answered all my queries when I rang the office, they made a sad event easier for me. . Excellent company with a professional service. . Without hesitation I highly recommend SDL Auctions. 'SDL do what they promise in their brochure"

Made a serious enquiry about a property through their service and all I got was teenager laughs in the background by a group of incompetent girls clearly not fit to be in a working environment, absolutely embarassing!
