I chose Robinsons Bishop Auckland to sell my house because I had a good service from them when purchasing the house. Although the process was slow due to COVID-19 and a delay on the house we were purchasing due to their new build not being ready, this was no fault of Robinsons and they kept us up to date with information they gathered. I had trouble with the company we were buying from and was given contradicting information from them, so when I contacted Robinsons, they were quick to find out what was going on and they let me know what was happening which was great. Sam and Natalie in particular were very helpful throughout and Sam especially always has a friendly and happy manner.

Could have been handled better

The actual sale of the property went well, however my experiences prior to finding a seller were not what I expected: I felt that the property was over-value but was assured that the price was right for both the property and the area. As I didn't hear anything about viewings, I contacted the agents to be told that there were a lot of hits on the internet which showed there was interest - my view was that if the hits weren't becoming viewings, something was wrong and I felt it was the asking price. A buyer did come along but withdrew. I gave it another couple of weeks and again heard nothing. I again contacted the agents and this time the price was reduced at my instigation, and as that still didn't attract prospective buyers, I made a further reduction which the staff agreed was the right thing to do. This had the desired effect - plenty of viewings and a buyer who has now completed the purchase. I felt that had I now contacted the agents and suggested a price reduction, nothing would have happened. I still feel disappointed with the lack of contact from the agents: internet hits are not a good way of judging interest, that can only be done by the number of viewings; staff were not proactive in making contact, that was done by myself. As stated, the sale went well, but I am left with a feeling the whole process could have gone better.

Excellent service throughout the purchase of my property. Help was always a phone call away and the estate agents involved in my purchase kept me up to date with everything and provided anything that I needed.

FANTASTIC SERVICE!!

FANTASTIC SERVICE!!! Robinsons were the second estate agent we engaged with to sell our property and their service was excellent from start to finish (wish i'd gone with them from the start). Everything from the initial meeting right through to viewings and then completion. I couldn't have asked for a more focused and dedicated service. The office staff were on top of every element of the sale and helped navigate us through what is traditionally one of life's more stressful events. Highly recommended!!!!

Mark at Stockton

Mark,Many thanks for taking on the selling of the above property. When you first came round to talk to us we were very impressed with your professionalism and guidance and we were in no doubt about leaving this in your hands. All the staff have been very friendly keeping us informed about how things were going. It seems to have been a long slog but of course Covid19 got in the way. I was quite surprised at how cheap the houses in that road were being sold for but your advice was quite right. Also, I know the house needed quite a bit doing to it.Many thanks again to you and your staff.RegardsNorrie Earl

As it is not possible to leave a zero…

As it is not possible to leave a zero star rating I have been forced to make it one star.I have continuously experienced severe issues regarding Robinsons and the staff I have been in contact with. I moved into one of their properties on October 18th,after having previously viewed it on the 11th September 2019.During the viewing a stated a number of issues I wished to be resolved before I moved in. Photographs of these issues were taken and I was given the confidence they would be resolved before I moved in. These consisted of :- A yard full of rubbish.- Only one bin.- A water stain above a window highlighting an issue.- Scuff marks to the kitchen floor and areas of damage.- Damage to the kitchen cupboards. - no fire alarm downstairs. Amongst multiple other issues. Fast forward to moving day. The rubbish was still overflowing in the yard, the flooring and cupboards were still in the exact same state. The rubbish that had also been left discarded throughout the property was still there.Many phone calls later, the rubbish was removed. Found amongst it were needles and bags of human feces. More calls later and a lot of pathetic excuses, as per, I was finally graced with a second bin. Que the water works. Not me, the house. The staining that I had previously pointed out which, made obvious at this point, had not been resolved, had been revived thanks to the weather into a fresh flow of water. This persisted, while it lay neglected, for months. Many many more calls later and a lot of writing, this had large coverage over two main walls and became apparent in other areas of the house....... Throughout winter. The walls also began to sprout their own form of greenery known as black mould. Que the steady and persistent influx of "contracters" (with no actual work in sight for months). At this point it was discovered that there were over 10 holes in the roof and asbestos on the walls and ceiling...... Where the water was continuing to flow through, of course.5 days before Christmas - I was told I may receive a phone call at any point to say I had to move into temporary accommodation straight away. I never received a call.I had to wait until the office was open once more to pick up where we left off. Yes that means yet more calls and messages. In February, nearly 6 months later and after the landlord had admitted he shoved it to the side as unimportant, I eventually got a new roof. Though I was only informed the day before and given not time for this to occur or consideration for the mainly elderly residents or myself. Two cowboys turned up, before they finished with the roof they took out upon themselves to grace me with a new sky light in the form of a hole in my bedroom ceiling. Thanks guys! Which they then proceeded to fill with the old, mouldy soaking wet insulation and leave.You may see a bit of a theme here. Basically this continued. I was then handed a section 21 (for requesting the work be done) which I was still expected to abide during the initial stages of lockdown, again a week before the original moritorium was drawing to a close, and again just before the completion of the second. When I was then furnished with repossession paperwork.I found the staff to be very unhelpful and evasive with the inability to make and support the simple organisation skills needed to provide this area of service. At one point I was told a house was being arranged for me to move into without my knowledge. And that's in between being spoken to and treat as though I was a member of staff. Whilst occupying an uninhabitable property in such a disgraceful condition. The mould was still there when I moved out a year later. I have never had such an abismal experience as a first time customer or been treat so poorly, when a want being fed feeble excuses or just blatantly fobbed off. I had Environmental health involved, the branch manager, regional manager and a couple of members of staff. How many estate agents does it take to fix a house? Or ensure it is safe from the moment a tenant moves in, as is legally established. Answers on a post card.I would never recommend this company to anyone, more likely the exact opposite. 0 stars, would not come here, would not try ever again, would not stop, would keep walking.

I have used Robinsons Estate Agent in Sedgefield for a number of years now. Ryan, Danni and Sharon are always friendly and extremely helpful and nothing is too much trouble for them. I would not go anywhere else for selling or letting a property.

Effective communication skills need to be addressed. I personally don’t believe enough was done and no one got in touch with me every now and again to keep me up to date with their marketing techniques. I have taken my property off the market via email, collected my keys, and not one person has asked me why. That would have been my first job if someone withdrew their property.
