Lyndsay Greenwell

I visited the Pattinsons estate agents in whickham as I was looking for a new rental for me and my family. The service I received was absolutely astounding, Lyndsay Greenwell ( The manager) and her team were amazing. Lyndsay went above and beyond working around the clock. With us having two children both with disabilities she made sure that the property was suitable and safe for them. I have never received such fantastic and genuine service from an estate agents before. What a lovely team and manager. Thank you so much Lyndsay Greenwell x

great service

More than happy to recommend Pattinsons. The staff were efficient and friendly throughout and were always willing to go the extra mile. I liked that if I couldn’t get through to the stockton office the call was diverted to their call centre who would send a message. My sale got quite difficult towards the end, but Jan was exceptional in the way she managed the situation and I’m sure her determination ensured a positive result for all parties. I feel sure she must have spent half her time on my sale alone! Special mention to Danielle aswell, helpful, friendly and efficient. Well done and thank you.

Disappointing service letting flat

Disappointing service to rent out my flat. First proposed tenant had not had previous landlord references verified and was still being pushed through. Another nearly three weeks passed and another tenant found, but caused significant financial loss through their inadequate process and only offered £100 off the fee. Very disappointing and dubious referencing would make me avoid them in future.

Avoid at all costs

Very disappointed with the experience I recently received with this auction house. The agent messed up on a completion date which added unnecessary stress and anxiety on a fast turnaround closure. This particular issue took over a week to sort out. I also asked for critical information regarding the property I was buying pre sale. This was never received. I have since pulled out of the bid and it;’s cost me a lot of money for Patterson Auctions for the lack of communication and mistake. What’s more insulting is they’re not taking any responsibility for the experience I have had with them . My advise is to buy with a regular estate agent and avoid auction houses like Pattersons. I also wished I had read all the other terrible comments on Trusted Pilot first !

Process of Modern Auction

Was sceptical about proceeding with this type of purchase (modern auction) but speaking to Carl Richardson put me at ease. Unfortunately his knowledge was not extensive enough, at best, and as a result it cost us thousands of unexpected costs.Would not use this process again. Please be careful.

If there was ZERO I would give them…

If there was ZERO I would give them that. It doesn't matter to them how many times you call, they take details and won't call you back. Holly and Jason both failed to call back to book a simple viewing?? Then another member of staff advised the local agency would be in touch on the same day and I received NO CALL. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME trying to get anywhere with this agency. Go elsewhere as they are way too busy to acknowledge you! Utter shambles. Missed out on 2 properties because of their shabby organisation. Never again.

Joe Sarin is a STAR!!

I recently rented a property through Pattinson’s. The guy I dealt with at the Regional Branch (Joe Sarin) was incredibly helpful. He went above and beyond to help us find a suitable property. Our situation was tricky and securing a tenancy was by no means easy. Joe was amazing! He kept in touch pretty much daily and did lots of negotiating on our behalf with our landlord. He is a very polite and friendly young man and he has even emailed a couple of times after our move to ask if everything was ok and we had settled into our new home. A+ service!

Awful company do not buy from them

Awful company, don't trust them to buy through. Had an offer Accepted by vendors but they pressed them weeks down the line to take another viewing after we were all sale agreed and now we've been gazumped. Don't use this company to buy from. Lost £600 on fees and searches with less than 2 months to find another house or were homeless.Ashington branch.

I gave one star only because I couldn't give you zero. Terrible estate agents and by far the worse I've ever dealt with. So I had no guarantor but was told there was still a chance I could ger it without one. So I travelled all the way from Newcastle to grange villa only for the estate agent to forget the keys to the property so I rearranged all other appointments in newcastle in order to get a viewing at a later time which I got. Then I was told I need a guarantor. So basically I spent the last of my money to get there. I was lied to amd then to top it all of when they where emailed asking why they lied to me they stopped replying to me so like I said they don't even deserve one star. Nothing but badness with this company.

Lyndsay Whickam - Fantastic service

My experience with Lyndsay from the Pattinson Whickam branch was fantastic. As a first time buyer and not understanding the process in the slightest Lyndsay was clear with each stage, always positive and followed up on calls and emails. Buying a house is both exciting and stressful, it was nice to have an estate agent who was genuine and excited for me too, making the process more enjoyable. Credit to the team. Thank you!

Cant fault them! Fantastic service from a fab team. We had virtually given up on relocating to Newcastle when Jane suddenly came to our rescue in finding us a house. Now the move is going ahead and our family will be together again at Christmas. Thank you so much to Jane and the rest of the team for making it happen.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

The auction process certainly took the stress out of selling a property. The staff at Pattinsons were extremely helpful and kept me up to date on the process all the way. 28 days and done amazing 👏- if you want to sell quickly I would definitely recommend using the auction process.

Great experience with Pattinsons Bedlington. I moved from a different estate agent who had given me very poor service and very little communication. From day one I was confident using them and the communication, from Vicky & Faye, has been above and beyond. I would definitely recommend .

VERY POOR SERVICE AND LACK OF COMMUNICATION

The level of service expected by Pattinson is not fulfilled. first week of our moving in the water leak happened in our sink and they took 5 days to fix that .. now it's the misinformation about the electricity supplier from Pattinson that our power went off couple of days back . We misunderstood it with the fuse and waited for maintenance team to fix it . called the maintenence dept after a long struggle to get connected and many number of calls and call diverts we got connected with Bob who couldn't make it yesterday but came today morning (12 /09/2022)told us that it's meter issue and previous tenant had left 1.2 pounds balance and that's why we have been cut off . Pattinson had not shared us with these details of current provider or any other information . A company called tenant shop contacted us and told that Pattinson's have not shared the current provider details but told us once they share they ll fix the account with energy provider. Now it's down that we are living without power for 2 days now .. It's very unpleasant experience .. they neither gave us the number of the maintenance person to contact and their emergency contact is unavailable. Pattinson is good in other areas. but with us it's very poor service ..Bob showed up today and has helped us with finding the energy provider . dlNot sure how long it would take to bring back power . Wish Pattinson's had told us these things before hand so we could have had power by now

I’d just like to start by thanking Kelsein Wealleans on her commitment and enthusiasm while our house has been on the market. She is extremely passionate and motivated to do her best for her customers and this shines through every time we engage in conversation. Kelsein has been working around the clock to do her very best, often going beyond her means and expectations to deliver. She is an asset to the agency and hope she receives some sort of recognition for all her hard work. I appreciate this line of business can not always be easy, but with a smile on your face and an honest approach like Kelsein, this is made 100% easier. Thanks again, really appreciate it. Dave & Andrew

Offered on a house

Offered on a house, outbid, increased offer had the offer accepted, absolutely delighted, then informed the next day a higher offer had Been accepted and no more offers were Been considered,so I wasn't even offered to increase my offer. What I can't believe is why the sellers were not told an offer had Been accepted, I've offered on numerous homes to be told, sorry we have accepted an offer over the weekend for that property, when I rose a complaint, i spoke to the manager then the sales director and NOT ONE of them apologised for the distress and inconvenience caused. A prime example of there customer service. Shocking

Overall appalling behaviour and experience, wouldn’t recommend at all

Overall bad experience, no communication between referencing and branch who continued to lose documents throughout the whole process, over charged referencing costs by £50.00 which when we questioned were apologised too, we decided overall to pull out as they all kept giving us different information and couldn’t give a straight answer at all to practically any questions we had, only once a complaint had put in would they even respond helpfully or partially helpfully, the property was very nice but would not ever consider going back to Pattinsons no matter how nice the property, also when we pulled out we were told no refund would be given even though the incorrect charges were paid and we overpaid £50.00 which was never seen again, the only part of the process which was nice and simple was the exiting of the deal despite losing £300.00 it was nicer than the thought of having to be locked into a living arrangement with Pattinsons. They did similar to my parents when they were selling a property causing lots of lost money and inconvenience but that’s a completely different matter. Back to my original dissatisfaction my only request following the drop out of the contract was to have a reason on letter headed paper to confirm why I wasn’t refunded the payment and querying the £50.00 extra, to which I was told the manager does not have word and cannot issue this which I think is disgraceful. Since went with a different estate and letting agent who are perfect and I cannot fault them one bit.

Prompt Sale, great after sales support

The house was sold promptly and advertised in a professional way. The post sales support was very good. Thanks to Wendy Burbridge for all her support there in expediting things. Compared to the sellers agent "a certain colourful stone online company", they were head and shoulders better. Fully reccomend using Pattinsons!!

Leasehold flat with significant arrears

We bought a leasehold flat from Keith Pattinson Limited and were told that all service charge and ground rent accounts were paid up to date before agreeing to purchase under an ‘auction’ type contract.Important to note that Keith Pattinson Limited charge £5,000 plus vat when the vendor had elected a ‘no fee’ option!Compared to other auctioneers / estate agents this is a lot of money!The day we were due to complete we found out that there were significant arrears on the service charge account, going back nearly 2 years!We were advised to not complete because if this had caused the freehold owner to take repossession proceedings we would be buying ultimately nothing!!We explained this to Keith Pattinson Limited.What proceeded was a nightmare! We were served with a notice and daily interest charges and we had to jump through a lot of hoops with the freehold owner to understand the present position.Keith Pattinson Limited did absolutely nothing to help us, aside from tell us that we were bound to complete under the contract we had signed and that we were liable for any arrears! They basically told us to stop contacting them!! A complete contradiction to our correspondence prior to and during the sale process.Things happen when buying and selling but what you look for in a reliable service provider is a bit of support. Sadly we didn’t get any and despite completing on the sale, it cost us nearly £1000 in extra fees.When things run smoothly I have no doubt Keith Pattinson Limited are really good to deal with and can’t do enough to help, however if there are issues which may be a little bit complex or difficult, they don’t, and there are other agents out there (for example Pugh auctions) who go the extra mile!
