We were very pleased with the service we received when selling our mam’s house following her death. It was a difficult and emotional time for our family, but the estate agent was professional, compassionate and supportive throughout the whole process. They kept us informed, made everything as straightforward as possible and helped take some of the stress away. We really appreciate everything they did and would happily recommend their services.

TrustpilotMassive thank you to Alistair Bownman
Massive thank you to Alistair Bownman, he has been absolutely fantastic throughout our first buy. He was always there at the end of the phone at any time of day/night, guided us throughout the process step by step and was ALWAYS there to help. I would highly recommend RMS to anybody, however I’d 1000% give Alistair a special recommendation. It has been a quick, easy and mainly stress free process for us both and cannot thank him enough.

Alistair went above and beyond to help us secure our first home He helped negotiate our offer and even waited online so he could let us know after hours if we were successful or not. He kept in contact every week to help and guide us along and was even helping chase the solicitors to get it over the line and exchanged. 6⭐️ if possible

TrustpilotI sold my property with the Gosforth and would recommend and use again.
I sold my property with the Gosforth branch of Rook Matthews Sayer. From the initial appointment and evaluation with David Jones, the regular contact with Richard Fitzgerald and Natalie Best on where the sale was and the above and beyond support from Ellie Erskine was great and helped the sale be a positive experience. I would definitely recommend and use again. They are very responsive and professional.

TrustpilotReliable Mortgage Service
Used Rook Matthews Sayer for a re-mortgage as a returning customer. Rook Matthews were quick to contact us approximately 6 months ago to remind us that our existing mortgage was due to expire, a service we had not received previously from a different mortgage service which had resulted in us transferring to a standard interest rate and costing us more. The Track My Case option was handy to track progress. Alistair Bowman was our advisor a few years ago and recently. He has been so helpful, identifying the best time to search for a mortgage deal, providing regular updates and an alternative contact if he was unavailable and once a provisional deal was agreed, Alistair continued to check the market to ensure we had the most appropriate deal as interest rates continued to change. He has been honest in his advice, confirming that as we are close to paying off our mortgage, this would be the last time we would require a broker as the range of options in future years would be limited. I would have no hesitation in continuing to use Rooks Matthews and especially Alistair and would recommend them to anyone.

TrustpilotMostly good
Very pleasant staff in the office, and communications mostly very good. Ours was an easy sell, so not particularly onerous for RMS. Good advice given re finalising offers. Agents please take care to shut doors/windows/reset alarms after viewings. And it was a good job I checked the figures on completion, as RMS had not deducted the cost of our probate valuation, as promised. Quickly rectified - once pointed out.

We just bought our first house which was being sold by Rook Matthews Sayer. From start to finish they had excellent communication and kept us informed. We were helped by Eve, the senior office manager, and Natalie, the sales progressor. Both were extremely extremely helpful. I don’t think we would have completed the purchase on schedule if it wasn’t for Natalie’s efforts. She answered every single query we had and helped deal with both sets of solicitors. We can’t thank her enough. I would recommend purchasing a house through Rook Matthews Sayer.

We’ve recently moved into our new home and are grateful to Neil Walton from the Gosforth Branch for guiding us through the mortgage process. Mortgage rates were going up at the time, but Neil was able to get us the best deal possible. He was very proactive in completing the application and chasing it up, and he kept us in the loop the whole time. I would highly recommend Neil to anyone looking to buy a house.

TrustpilotFantastic, Friendly Service
Going through the Forrest Hall branch, Alistair Bowman was absolutely fantastic with helping me remortgage. It was especially stressful as I needed to be secured on a new deal before rate hikes took effect and Alistair managed everything so efficiently for me. He squeezed me in for appointments at short notice, clearly explained all aspects of the process and was very understanding about fitting things in around my working hours. Ultimately he secured me a great deal in very little time. 5 stars for the service Alistair provided.I would've given 5 stars for the review except that the reason I had very little time to remortgage was because the person I was initially emailing to arrange an appointment didnt respond to my messages in a timely manner and had to be chased, then when they did respond they booked me in for an appointment with Alistair when he already had an appointment booked with someone else. Other than that I am very satisfied with the service I received from RMS!
