Pattinson - Peterlee

Pattinson - PeterleeI organised a valuation of a property for sale with the Peterlee office. No one turned up. I called and was told that the booking was entered onto their system incorrectly by a new staff member. Clearly a training and management issue. Not my problem and they are not getting my business. Laughable service.

letting and auction sale

Pattinson assisted with finding a tenant. Lengthy process although much to do with pandemic. Overall good service. I also sold same property via Pattinson auction. Valuation was higher than what bidders were offering for good number of months each time trying to persuade me to accept the low offer. Finally I was lucky someone bought it at much closer minimum price we had set. I had no hasstles otherwise.

Went the 'extra mile' on a few occasions

I dealt with Terri at their Blyth Office for my house sale. Excellent service from her and her colleagues. Went the 'extra mile' on a few occasions. Would not hesitate to recommend to others. Used their recommended/'in-house' Solicitors and they were good too. In view of my ill-health I was very grateful to be able to hand things over to the professionals and let them get on with their job without undue chasing or monitoring etc.

Pattinson Auction have been great to deal with on the whole. I would specifically like to mention Adam Stewart who has been an absolute star. Always there to support us through to and even after completion. I really can't thank him enough for his continued help and effort. He's someone with a great work ethic and work ethics.

Auction leading to a 3-year legal battle and settlement

In May 2021, I embarked on what seemed to be a straightforward journey of purchasing a property through Pattinson at auction. However, this process quickly devolved into a 3-year legal battle that brought significant financial strain and immense personal stress to my family and me.Pattinson marketed the property as an auction sale with an undisclosed reserve price, only to later sell it to me below this threshold - and the courts later confirming they had no express authority to do so. Despite my commitment to the purchase, including paying a substantial deposit and Reservation Fee, Pattinson failed to complete the sale, and I did not receive a refund until about 2.5 years later after several repeated requests.Throughout this ordeal, Pattinson's representatives, specifically Bobby Myers and Vinny Dadhria, lacked clear, transparent and honest communication. In my opinion, this suggested to me that there was miscommunication at best and/or dishonesty at worst. My own experience, along with questionable practices found in online reviews, raises serious concerns about their business operations.The escalating damages and legal costs forced me to sell my previous home, leaving my family dependent on the support of relatives to avoid homelessness. Additionally, with a significant portion of our funds withheld and rising mortgage rates, our ability to purchase another home was severely diminished, delaying our plans to grow our family.After three years, we accepted a settlement offer from all three parties involved to conclude the litigation, but the loss of time, energy, and the intense stress we endured means that no settlement could ever fully compensate us.Although Pattinson were not entirely responsible for what had occurred, I urge anyone considering Pattinson to exercise extreme caution. If my experience is any indication, the process is fraught with challenges that should be avoided at all costs. If you do proceed, document every step meticulously, including recording all communications, and ensure you have sufficient funds in case legal action becomes necessary.Update: I have been asked to remove my review entirely, or else Pattinson "will have no hesitation in issuing proceedings without further reference". Apparently, my attempt to leave an honest review of my personal experience with Pattinson caused them to become protective of their reputation and have warned me of the potential for further litigation. Therefore, I am updating my review to clarify (1) there were two further parties to the litigation and the settlement was made by all three parties, and (2) Pattinson were not entirely responsible for what occurred.

Excellent communication and service

The service we have received from Paula has been exceptional. The communication has been prompt and thorough throughout our sale and nothing has seemed too much trouble for her. Danielle in branch has also been very helpful with both our sale and search for an onward property. Will certainly be using the services of Pattinson in future.

Worst company I've dealt with.

Anyone looking to buy or rent with Pattinson Estate Agents Pattinson Estate Agents, Bedlington Branch avoid them at all costs.I rented a flat for 6 months and advised them numerous times during the tenancy that there was an issue with damp and mould. this damp was caused by a hole in the wall that Pattinsons now claim I'm liable for, quote "the damp was caused by a bed being against a wall, not allowing proper ventilation". Nothing to do with a hole in the wall, allowing water to seep through. They have since painted over the mould, more than likely not resolved the damp issue and the next tenant will have the same issue. The flat is relisted to rent again but still hold my deposit. Absolutely awful company to deal.**updated to the response from Pattinson** You sent out a for a report which did state lack of ventilation on the property and that you admitted was your fault and not mine. The report did not make any mention of the penetrive damp we reported and confirmed. Would also refuse joint visit with my insurers to agree liability. I look forward to the conclusion of the TDS and trading standard review.

Highly recommended

From viewing a property to the offer process and beyond, Pattinson staff were amazingly efficient and understanding. Viewing was 100% in line with the 2020 / 2021 Covid rules and their communication through the offer process was spot on. If they said they'd do something, they did it. If they said they'd call me, they did. What more can you ask for. Thank you so much for everything

Shame I can’t leave zero

If I could rate this company zero then I would. Awful company to deal with. So many broken promises even after complaints being sent. Very aggressive staff who throw threats around. I would avoid at all costs. Communication is nonexistent and then they get offended when you call them out for it.

Rubbish

Service from start to finish was dreadful.No communication. A simple no chain sale took over 3 months without any reasoning why. Solicitor appointed by them was the same. No communication. When we did get info it wasn’t consistent. 2 grand fir a simple sale, no advertising, no sale board and took forever

Never again !

Called in Pattinson Wallsend to ask if they could help me sell my home. Soon as I walked in the door the girl shouts over have you got a mask, I explained I was exempt and showed my exemption card , she said okay, I walked further to the desk which had a glass screen up and the girl shouted ‘go and stand by the door’. to which I replied ‘It don’t matter’ and I walked out. She made me feel like a Leper and spoke to me in an awful manner. Never in my life have I been spoken to like that. Horrid Horrid woman with long black hair. In these times I’m sure they would benefit from my custom but sorry Pattinsons I won’t be back and I will be passing on my experience to others.

Myself and my boyfriend are in the early stages of looking to purchase our first home. We’ve had dealings with Jodi in the Whickham office on the process and told her exactly what we’re looking for. Jodi always goes above and beyond to answer any concerns we might have and reassure us on anything we’re unsure of. Thank you so much Jodi for the help you’ve given and continue to give! X

I used Keith Pattinson Whickham branch. I have always found Keith Pattinson to be the best estate agents. In particular Ian Robson dealt with our property. He always acted in our best interests and secured the best sale price for our house. He was always contactable and kept us up to date with the progress of our sale. I would highly recommend using them and Ian in particular. He was very professional.

Waiting over 4 months for a repair....

As a tenant of Pattinson's for several years now, I am continually surprised at their ineptness, time blindness and inability to follow through with some of the most basic and simplest of tasks.For example - I had a leak in my living room ceiling, which required a contractor to cut round a half metre square hole in the ceiling.Although my landlord is always prompt to agree repairs and Pattinson's have an array of effective and experienced contractors on their books, it all seems far too much for them to organise.I have waited 4 months for the hole to be fixed and I'm still waiting. This unfortunately isn't unique. I'm embarrassed to have guests in my home so i have cancelled Christmas as I have no doubt it wont be fixed by then and I do wonder how the hole will increase my gas and electric costs.The worst.EDIT:Pattinsons have responded to this on the same day but have not emailed me the timeline as stated below. The ceiling has been damaged for 4 months. The delay was caused by Pattinsons and not the landlord or the contractor.
