Met good staff at Ingleby Barwick office

Manj and Andrea at Ingleby Barwick office were both very kind to help me purchase my first house in the area. As a first time buyer, I got a lot of questions and worries, and they both showed their patience to answer my questions in professional manner. They also facilitated the whole process and all steps were completed smoothly. Appreciated and highly recommended!

The staff are friendly and approachable…

The staff are friendly and approachable and offer a great service to both landlords and tenants alike. Feedback from inspections is good allowing for repairs and maintenance to be done when problems first appear. I have been with them now for many years having had an awful previous experience with another company. I would recommend this company highly.

Just completed on our sale with Robinson’s. From the initial valuation visit right up until completion we were kept informed every step of the way. Lois, Katherine and Joy have been a pleasure to deal with. Thank you Robinson’s!

Hartlepool office

Hartlepool office. Thank you for holding the keys for us.As a letting agent, good for tenants, our experience, regardless of how the property is left, dirty, damaged and unfit to live in, tenant will always get their bond back. Landlords take note, you will have no recourse to get any bond back for anything. The contract between tenant and landlord, is not worth the paper it's written on.

Agent replied · 24 December 2024

***UPDATE*** 10.30am 12 April 2024I have spoken to my team at Hartlepool and have a better understanding of this situation. I feel that the review is unjust as the advice you have received is not only from ourselves but also from the TDS. We carried out the procedures set down by legislation and betterment cannot happen from a tenants deposit. When purchasing a property I would always suggest you view the property or at least have a representative view the property on your behalf before purchase. I will try and make contact with you shortly.Kind regardsMark SmithManaging Director Thank you for your review Sharon.I have asked my Hartlepool team for an overview on this situation. If you want to contact me directly you can do so at marksmith@amith-and-friends.co.ukKind regardsMark SmithManaging Director

No stress or hassle

I bought a property this year through the Hartlepool branch of Smith & Friends. As a buyer, I found them to be professional, courteous and knowledgeable throughout the whole process and always happy to answer any questions. If the time ever comes for me to sell, I will keep them in mind.

Excellent in every way !

Smith & Friends have managed a number of rental properties for me over the last 6 years or so. I have been delighted with their service and I found them to be very professional, friendly and experts at what they do. I have no hesitation in recommending them to manage your properties too.

Right from the moment I first…

Right from the moment I first approached Robinson’s regarding property rentals they were very upfront, honest and very much on point about the type of property and type of area I wanted to live in. They then proceeded to find me a lovely home to settle in for the time I was there snd any problem that I advised to them, they immediately took it onboard and arranged for it to be dealt with - wonderful service from start to finish snd I would definitely recommend their services to others (as I have done) and give them 10 out of 10 for service and understanding of clients needs.

Very Poor Service and poor communication

Communication not very good. We were left to chase up a lot of things. Each time we called we were not given useful information. No effort to ensure that the seller adheres to the agreed completion time. Poor communication overall. We had to threaten to cancel the agreement unless we were listened to , only then did our sale go through. Customer care training is required to deal with all communities. A lot of bias in the whole office and prejudice. On the day we collected the keys , key staff were cold except for one reception staff that smiled when we went in. Very poor experience and poor service.

Theresia · 16 May 2023

Agent replied · 24 December 2024

Hi Theresia, I understand your frustrations were linked to completion and timescales this took to get there. We are reliant upon all parties to work together to get through to completion. I will be speaking to the Manager of the office to undertake a review of the process in the particular case. As you will see from the other reviews this isn't the standard of our business communication.If you wish to speak to me you can email me on marksmith@robinsonsteesvalley.co.ukKind regardsMark SmithManaging Director
