I wanted to participate in an online auction after noticing a property I really liked. When I registered, there were just under four days left until the auction ended. I completed all the forms and waited for approval to start bidding. I’ve been waiting ever since. Now the auction is only a few hours from closing, and I still haven’t received confirmation. Ironically, I did receive a text message from Pattinson reminding me that less than 24 hours remain and urging me to hurry up 😂😂😂. Apparently, I won’t get the chance to take part at all. Very poor service that leaves a rather mixed impression…

EDIT - complete waste of time emailing them as they requested in the reply, apparently it’s my own fault for trusting their complete lie about the solicitor they recommended being a “trusted partner they work with regularly” and any charges over what pattisons quote and issues regarding the performance of the solicitor is not their responsibility, and me being told verbally what fees I’ll be paying and given only the back page of a multi page document to sign and never seeing the actual charges is also my fault and just expected to accept it for next 6 months. Don’t give this theiving lying company the time of day

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

TrustpilotProfessional and person centred - thank you
What made my experience great was the patience and kindness shown to me when dealing with the sale of my family home after the death of my mother. The time taken to explain options for saleand the hands on help with presenting the property and undertaking viewings was really reassuring. The regular communication and person centred approach really stood out for me and I was made to feel more than just a customer. Thank you Michael and Caitlin so much for your support. I am pleased with the outcome and feel happy my childhood home is starting a new chapter in its story. Would highly recommend Pattinsons.

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.

TrustpilotSupportive Throughout Our First Purchase
As first-time buyers, we had a good experience overall. The team was helpful and professional, supporting us throughout the process and helping us get set up with a lawyer. They kept us informed and made sure things moved forward smoothly. Buying a property for the first time can be quite daunting, but they made it easier to navigate and were always available when we needed updates or guidance.

TrustpilotRude and nasty man
My sister has just had the most awful experience with a horrible man at this office. She was told she'd got a house and rushed back from holiday to sort it out. Was told very rudely that no she hadn't him and the vendor had let a different man have it. My sister is very ill and the effect of this on her is absolutely unimaginable. What a rude nasty man!

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.

TrustpilotPatterson’s jarrow lacks good customer…
Patterson’s jarrow lacks good customer service, are untrustworthy and never deal with a situation- just hand you over to someone else who also has no idea how to cope under pressure. They took a holding fee from myself for a property and with some issues (with a CCJ that was in my partners name… with investaigtion it was not his abs evidence sent to them) we lost the property. We were told if we found out the CCJ information and could provide evidence that it was not my partners then the holding fee would stand. Since then, the house has been given to another tenant and a holding fee was taken off them. There has been the most shocking communication from pattinsons with regards to the property. I’m aware that the landlord has no idea what has been going on as the wife of the landlord has fed this back to the neighbour of the properly who has contacted me to tell me this. Really terrible service from all who were involved- which was at least four colleagues. I will never use these services again and will be telling everyone I know never to use them. Terrible business.

Good Afternoon. Thank you for your comments. All interested parties are put forward to the landlord & they are also updated on any information we establish during the course of referencing. The landlord will make the final decision on whether they wish to proceed (with the application) or not, based on the final referencing outcome. We are happy to discuss the findings again with the named party and we will issue the refund of the holding fee once adequate proof has been provided that the CCJ has been filed incorrectly as previously explained.

Hi Neil, we are sorry you have not had the experience that we would expect. I can see on your file that Lisa did make contact with you on 11/01/21 to advise that viewing can now take place and that the vendor may put the property into an auction. Sometimes there are delays with contacting vendors, and we can not instruct on offers without the vendor's consent. If you would like to share any more information with us, please contact socialmedia@pattinson.co.uk, and we will look into it further for you.

TrustpilotSale of townhouse in Seahouses
Having worked with Kelly and her team in the past, I was aware of how proactive they are in reaching a sale. They were extremely helpful and supportive throughout the process and worked in close contact with myself and the purchaser, to ensure the conveyancing ran as smooth as possible. As the seller, I discussed with Kelly and Darren an alteration in the asking price, in order to get that offer. We all agreed on the price and the best way forwards, which before long did bring the property to being under offer. It is a difficult market at the moment, but Kelly really does know her stuff extremely well and the whole team works very hard on both sides to secure the sale. Would definitely use again in the future.

TrustpilotWARNING - FAKE BIDDING
We had a highly disappointing experience trying to sell a property through Pattinsons Auctions. Pattinsons engage in what is commonly known as shill bidding, placing artificial bids to make the auction appear more active and push prices closer to or above the reserve. While this practice is legal if all parties are informed, we were never told about it as sellers. While buyers may find this information buried in small print, Pattinsons do not make it clear on their live auction platform or prominently on their website, or within the sellers contract. Both buyers and sellers should be extremely cautious. If you have expressed interest in a property but haven’t bid, Pattinsons will likely introduce artificial bids up to £2,500 below the reserve price to create the illusion of demand.Shill bidding really should be illegal, as it is on many platforms like eBay. We would never have agreed to this practice had we been aware of it, and would never have used their service. If their auction platform truly had strong buyer demand, such tactics should not be necessary. Despite over 30 viewings, we received zero bids, which suggests that potential buyers were put off by either the auction process or high buyer fees (~5%). Never again.
