A lovely viewing with very helpful staff

I met with Graham from the Ingleby Barwick office with a view to renting a property. As soon as I arrived, Graham was friendly, helpful and made me feel very comfortable. He was very knowledgable and even turned the heating on before I arrived! What a Gent! The staff have also been very helpful on the telephone… fingers crossed my application is successful!

Overall good service

There was a good number of prospective buyers. Staff arranging viewings were efficient but also had time to chat. Staff liaison with my legal firm was good. I should have been notified that the EPC was out of date and that it was not their responsibility to do this.

Darlington branch is excellent

The manager of Darlington branch was very helpful , he made an excellent video of our home which I am sure sold our house to a person out of the area.The sales progression manager was excellent, keeping us informed at every point. She was very approachable answering our questions as and when needed which made the sale and purchase run more smoothly.I wouldn’t hesitate to use Smith and Friends Darlington Branch again and would happily recommend them to others.

Superb Letting Agents

Fantastic experience with Mark & Ellie in the letttings team at Ingleby Barwick, they always go above and beyond and nothing is too much trouble. The whole process of finding tenants and moving them in was seamless. Their fees are transparent and include detailed inventories and check out reports which other letting agents normally charge for separately. By far the best letting agent in the local area - keep up the great work!

Disappointed

I was a buyer in this process.Not enough staff to allow us to view the house when we wanted. Viewing staff pleasant.Sales staff very helpful with negotiation with vendor. Sales progression could have communicated more frequently and did not seem to know very much about vendor details or timings. I had the impression she was totally overworked.When we picked up the keys the staff member I spoke with was unhelpful and dismissive. Disappointing experience.

Great Communication

Robinson’s were our first experience with estate agents and they made it such a positive one. Great communication throughout, from viewing properties, to listing and selling ours. Nicola was very helpful, easy to get hold of and generally made the process feel less daunting. Will definitely use Robinson’s again.

Whilst the experience with the staff at…

Whilst the experience with the staff at the Marton branch was good, as far as we were concerned the iamsold team were part of the bigger team and our experience with them was frustrating. Initially we were told that the auction process would take up to 56 days. The initial offer was accepted on 9/1/24. Completion did not take place till 23/4/24, 103 days later. The delay cost us financially due to the changes in CG tax. We later found out that the buyer wanted to purchase as a business that was not even registered till the end of January. This was the reason for the excessive delay. The communication throughout from iamsold was poor with emails from our solicitor often not being responded to. Unfortunately this reflects on your business as this is who we signed the contract with.

Thankyou Darlington!

I used the Darlington office to buy my property and couldn’t be more satisfied with the service I received. My purchase had a large amount of sentimental value and both joy and Michelle were so invested it made the experience a lot less stressful. Highly recommend these guys and I can’t thank them enough :)

Smith & Friends Hartlepool- excellent

Smith and Friends Hartlepool have sold two of my properties now and each time I felt that the experience has been excellent. The staff are knowledgeable and nothing is too much trouble. Their pricing is competitive and they make sure to keep me informed every step of the way. From valuation to setting the completion date they've been professional and trustworthy. Thank you to the whole team.
