I can’t recommend Michaal Hodgson highly enough! The service was amazing from start to finish. Selling my house was such a smooth and stress-free experience, thanks to their professionalism and incredible support. They kept everything moving in a timely manner and made me feel valued and informed every step of the way. The team were friendly, attentive, and genuinely went above and beyond. If you’re looking for an estate agent that delivers outstanding results and service, this is the one. Absolutely brilliant!

I’d like to sincerely thank Michael, Lynne and the team for your dedication and calm professionalism during the sale of my late aunt’s property. Given the difficulties along the way, your perseverance, guidance and help were invaluable. You Company went beyond what was really required and I very much appreciate everything you all did to see the sale through.

April 2024 Thank you to the whole team for the superb service we received in selling our property so quickly. Your friendly advice and regular updates made the whole process so much easier than expected. July 2926 Thank you once again for all your friendly support, information and advice - and particularly for the strong ongoing communication - which took so much of the stress out of our recent move. Whatever complications arose we had confidence in the team throughout, knowing we were in the best of hands, Chris & Carol Sharkey

Huge congratulations to Michael Hodgson of Sunderland. He recently sold our parents home after our mum passed away. The services they provide were exemplary. His team maintained excellent communications throughout the process. This is the second time we have used Michaels services, we have found them to be so consistant in every area. They certainly exceeded our expectations. We would certainly recommend to all potential sellers and buyers. We would definitely would use this service again. Thank you for everything you have done for us.

Moving is usually stressful, but Michael Hodgson made it seamless. They are exceptionally responsive and proactive, Lynne Green was our agent who constantly followed up on our case and kept us updated throughout. A truly efficient and professional team. Thank you.

Fantastic service from James, Tom, Nicola and team at Wilmslow. We have just sold 2 properties with them and they have been a pleasure to work with, their honesty and professionalism made me feel I was in safe hands. James has been really helpful, giving us advice during the build and once marketed they were all straight on it, generating momentum. I got the values I wanted and in good time too. I've seen sign boards up for similar things with other agents that were up before we marketed and are still there now. Thanks for all your help and keep up the good work.

We had a great experience with the lettings team. Emily was always quick to answer the phone and help. Robynn was a superstar, she really advocated for us as a family to ensure we relocated to be closer to our children’s school, nothing was too much for her. Thanks again guys, we are so grateful! ☺️

We purchased our property from Michael Hodgson and we cannot recommend them enough. Lynne Green, who supported us with our purchase, is an absolute asset to them. Her communication, professionalism, patience and persistence were greatly appreciated by us as buyers. She is simply amazing! We cannot express our gratitude enough for helping us find and secure our dream home. Thank you!

Brilliant, personal, professional service from James and the team at GH. Ours was a unique house for the area, which made finding the "right buyer" particularly important, and they did that in a timescale which enabled us to buy the house we wanted without resorting to external finance. The buyers also obviously loved our house which was important to us after living there for nearly thirty years. GH were very responsive to us as sellers, and, I believe, to our buyers. Highly recommended.

We recently purchased a house through Gascgoine Halman in Wilmslow and we were really grateful to have the process managed by Nicola. It was clear that Nicola is very experienced and knowledgable. She was fantastic at keeping us updated by email and phone, and also stayed in regular contact with the necessary estate agents and solicitors in the chain through out the whole process. She did a great job striking the balance between representing her clients (the sellers) interests and also making us feel valued as the buyers.

Huge thank you to the team and especially Nicola for going above and beyond with purchase of our new home. It was a very tricky sale / chain but Nicola went above and beyond to help everything ran smoothly as it could. Another huge thank you to Matthew Follett for sorting out our mortgage, he is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to mortgages and we couldn’t have been happier with his services! Thank you team, looking forward to seeing you on Friday when we pick up the keys to our dream home!

My experience with Gascoigne was nothing be exceptional. They are very professional, always willing to help and just really nice people. We used all of their recommendations including surveyor and solicitor and it was such a smooth experience. Would highly recommend. I would also like to specifically call out both Isla and Nicola who are the main reason for this review.

I recently used Michael Hodgson to find a tenant for my property. Within a week of my property being on the market, they gave me multiple options of suitable tenants and the family moved in within a couple of weeks. Their professionalism was outstanding and took the stress out of the entire process. Thank you Michael Hodgson!

When I got my offer accepted I wasnt sure why the estate agents were still involved. By the end I wasn't too sure why the lawyers were involved 😂 MH were really helpful throughout the whole process. Nothing but positive things to say.

I can recommend James and the team highly. It had been a difficult time trying to sell our property in a difficult market following all the interest rises and we found GH helpful, efficient, supportive, knowledgeable and friendly throughout the process of selling. One thing you definitely need when selling is honest, straight forward talking and I appreciated that aspect of dealing with James at the team.

Pauline renew my tenancy contract for this year. She send me an email as a reminder with the conditions before the deadline and followed it up. When I knew that my tenant agreed to renew the contract I send an email. It didn’t take her more than 10 mnts to respond me with my contract. Pauline is efficient, very professional person with excellent customer services .
