GoogleWe had an excellent experience with Ryder & Dutton from start to finish. The whole process was handled professionally, and the team kept us informed every step of the way.
A special thank you to Michaela, Naomi, and Amber, who were all incredibly friendly, helpful, and responsive throughout. They always took the time to answer our questions, kept us updated promptly, and made what can often be a stressful process feel much smoother.
Their customer service, professionalism, and attention to detail were outstanding, and we genuinely felt supported from beginning to end. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ryder & Dutton to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient estate agent.
Thank you again, Michaela, Naomi, and Amber, for all your hard work!

GoogleA huge Thank you to everyone at Ryder & Dutton for helping me buy my first home. Michaela, Naomi, Amber and Tom were extremely accommodating and helpful during the process of acquiring my first house. Especially Michaela who I had the most communication with. She was there every step of the way providing both information and reassurances throughout the sale. Would highly recommend them for anyone looking to purchase a property.

GoogleWe would like to say a huge thank you to Emmy, Michaela, Amber, and Naomi for all their hard work and support throughout the purchase of our first home.
Buying a house can be a stressful process, but the team was there for us every step of the way. The entire journey took around three months, and throughout that time they were always professional, responsive, friendly, and willing to help with any questions we had.
What really stood out was the personal touch and care they showed. We were also incredibly grateful for the lovely welcome package of sweets and the helpful vouchers and discounts for setting up our new home. It was such a thoughtful gesture and made moving into our first house even more special.
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend the team to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Thank you again, Emmy, Michaela, Amber, Catherine and Naomi, for helping make our dream of owning our first home a reality!

GoogleI would like to say a big thank you to all the Ryder and Dutton team at Royton, especially Michaela, Amber and Oliver for their efforts on selling my mother's house. Not everything went to plan with the 1st buyers pulling out at a late stage. The team were straight onto remarketing the property and quickly found new buyer, this time with a successful outcome.

★★★★★ 5/5
GooglePurchased through Ryder & Dutton (Royton) and was very pleased with the service they provided.
Michaela, Emmy, Naomi and Oliver was great with communication and very proactive in ensuring that the process moved smoothly. All queries were answered quickly and they were a superb point of liaison between myself, the seller and the relevant conveyancing team. I felt fully-informed throughout and also that they was completely on top of things, in contrast with other estate agents I have used in the past.

GoogleWe have recently viewed a property with Emma Spooner and wanted to leave her a positive review.

GoogleMy experience with Ryder & Dutton has been extremely distressing.
After purchasing my property, I discovered that Japanese knotweed had previously been identified near the property. I have since incurred significant costs for surveys, valuations and a proposed treatment plan, and the issue has delayed my landscaping project and affected my enjoyment of my home.
What I find most concerning is that Ryder & Dutton’s response to my complaint is that I was allegedly informed verbally before completion. I do not recall being properly informed of the extent of the issue and have seen no written evidence that this information was clearly disclosed to me before I committed to purchasing the property.
There was already a Japanese knotweed report in existence, and the vendor was aware of the issue. In my view, this information should have been fully documented and provided so that I could make an informed decision before proceeding.
I am now pursuing the matter through the appropriate complaints process. Buyers should ensure that any environmental issues, including Japanese knotweed, are fully disclosed and evidenced in writing before purchasing a property.

GoogleOliver came to evaluate my house with an aim to put it on the market. He was punctual, professional and went through a well put together presentation with a suggested realistic market price. Maxine was appointed to do the viewings and she did so in a very professional, respectful and considered manner. Jade was then my point of contact on both the sale and purchase of my homes. I also had contact with Michaela and Ammaarah. They were friendly, professional and kept me updated on all aspects of the sale and purchase of the properties. Jade offered advise when I asked for it in person, on the phone or by email. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the team at the Royton office they have provided me with a fantastic service.

GoogleI recently viewed a property with the viewing representative, Mrs Spooner. She was extremely friendly and could not have been more helpful or informative about both the property and the local area. She took the time to highlight the property's key features and suggested potential uses for different rooms, which I found particularly helpful.
I came away from the viewing feeling very well informed, with a clear understanding of the property and the next steps in the process. Mrs Spooner provided an excellent viewing experience, and I would highly recommend her.
