TrustpilotJarrow branch
Jason and Alison at the Jarrow branch were fantastic, they marketed and sold the property quickly and kept me informed throughout the process from start to finish and were always on hand if I needed advice. I wouldn't hesitate to reccomend

TrustpilotWendy Burbridge an absolute star 🌟
We decided to downsize early last year and after having a sale agreed Wendy took over to see the sale over the line. It ended up a long journey with lots of bumps in the road. Without Wendy this journey would have been near impossible to manage, she liased with the other estate agent (who put us under a lot of pressure over things out of our control) and a solicitor who often went off the radar!. Wendy is a credit to not just to Pattinsons but her profession and both Ann and Adrian would like to say the biggest thank you.

TrustpilotOnline auction is simply scam
Online auction process is simply a scam to rob both seller and buyers.They advertise online auctions as an attractive free method of sale for the sellers and charge buyers ridiculous amount of 6% of sale price, the money that could go to seller's pocket instead of Pattison's. I asked them to relay to the seller that I am happy to pay extra 6% towards house if they agree not to go through auction, but apparently they didn't forward the message.

TrustpilotGosforth Branch
Gosforth BranchAfter using another agency and having a lot of false starts, I asked Pattinsons for an appraisal of my home with a view to have them represent the sale of my property.I asked them because during the search for my next home, their staff worked their socks off on any viewing I made through them, they always kept in touch after viewings and they always phoned you the minute there was a price change.Susan, the Branch Manager, arrived at my home and was totally professional and told me that my home wouldn't be hard to sell, so I trusted her word and signed them up.I sold on the first viewing to a cash buyer that Natalie had known was looking for a house in my postcode area. She contacted the buyer to initiate a viewing. Natalie then arranged the viewing, kept in touch with me and the buyer at all stages and never let me down with advice and guidance throughout the entire process.Natalie is a real inspiration at Pattinson's and she got the sale that enabled me to be a cash buyer and purchase my forever home to retire to.A big shout out to Keri too at the branch who was always helpful and courteous.

TrustpilotMoving Home
I had great help from Pattinsons, initially in selling my property,their branch at the West Road were first class and I had plenty of viewings from day one.Then during the sale of my property and purchase of my new home I had problems with the solicitor I had been allocated.Wendy,Pattinsons Sales Progressor could not have been more helpful during this time. She kept contacting this solicitor for the information I was not receiving and kept me informed .I could not thank her enough for her assistance during this time.

TrustpilotAbsolutely diabolical service to say…
Absolutely diabolical service to say the least. They only call and respond when they are due their fees, and after that not a single peep from them. I have been calling, emailing the agent and online via the portal and not a single person responds. They are highly rude to my solicitors and to her team. I would avoid at all costs as their professionalism does not exist and for the sum of the auction fees, it's an embarrassment. Save yourselves from this experience!!!

TrustpilotAvoid their auction
Avoid their auctionThis morning, I was bidding for the small piece of land to use for our not-for-profit organisation Soham London CIC, which provides well-being through Yoga and Meditation.The land is a small piece of 0.054 acres in windsor.We won the audition for £3000 and am happy with it. We are happy to buy the property.We were aware that the buyer fee is 5% and all is good to pay.But, it came as a surprise and shock that the buyer fee is a minimum of £5000 + VAT.It does not make sense to me to pay double the amount of land price.This is a hefty amount for us being a not-for-profit organization helping the community.They want to pay all the buyer fees and deposit the same day by 4.30 pm and not very helpful by the person Tom Pattison.

Recently used Pattisons Auctions for a property I was trying to move on. Eventually received a number of bids that took the price over the minimum asking and once the hammer went down I was reassured that they property was then legally sold and contracts exchanged! After a number of days without receiving much information I was told that my ‘buyer’ had not even paid the deposit but not to worry as this would not delay completion! The 28 days passed, I moved my business out and still no completion. They told me that I was entitled to sue the buyer for the deposit and all legal fees, and they were suing them for their £6k plus auction fees but they were unable to assist me in this! They also to date have never personally given me any information as to who the buyer was including address etc! They will only pass this onto a Solicitor but I believe I don’t actually need a Solicitor to sue somebody. I have found everyone at this company very unprofessional and extremely unhelpful and I would certainly never recommend anyone uses them! They have caused me great expense and stress! Please avoid at all costs!

TrustpilotFirst house purchase in over 20 years
Have not bought a house in many years, such a stressful thing to do! Pattinsons Estate Agents staff truely work as a team, always returning calls and answering questions. Leah was our designated person and she was so lovely, an absolute star, she went above and beyond organising the removal of a yard full of furniture and outdoor trampoline left by the previous owner, so grateful for that, she was so friendly and approachable. All of our calls were answered or returned within the same day. Stephen is extremely knowledgeable and was so helpful, especially towards the completion of the sale, being a mediator between both our solicitor and the seller's which was much appreciated. Based on our personal experience, we would definitely recommend Pattinsons Estate Agents.

TrustpilotFriendly staff and amazing service
Pattinsons North Shields were absolutely amazing. From being able to see the property quickly, to seeing the property numerous times when we needed to, nothing felt too much for them. Lindsay, Craig and John were so helpful with keeping in touch to let us know what the sellers were doing, and honestly, this process took so long that we were beginning to lose hope of getting our new house. But they kept chivvying us along and helped us keep faith in everything. We’re so grateful for their calm during all this. 10/10. Would recommend them to everyone needing to sell their house!

Agree with the user, it looks like a scam. They keep constantly pressuring me and changing auction end dates. Don't give them your hard earned monies. It may well be a Scam!

Now had two negative experiences first they put a property on the website I rang within an hour of seeing it to be told the renter had bought it. Why put it on the website if this is the case.Secondly had a viewing booked at a property at 10am today to be rang at 9am to say it was cancelled and that the property had sold. Not given any opportunity to bring the viewing forward only gave one other option to view which we couldn’t make. I am now reluctant to look at any property which pattinsons are marketing.

TrustpilotQuick and easy selling process
The whole process of selling the house was made very straightforward by the very competent and helpful staff at Pattinsons. Clear explanation of their services at valuation time and ongoing advice and support throughout the process. This company have a lot of prospective buyers on their books so the house sold quickly. Viewings were organised and accompanied by Pattinson staff as the house was empty so we were not inconvenienced. Staff at the office, particularly Geno, were always helpful if I had queries and kept us informed of any updates. I would certainly use them again if selling another house

TrustpilotThis company is a complete disaster and…
This company is a complete disaster and are heartless, avoid at all cost! They deceived me into moving into a mould infested house, they painted it so that I wouldn't know. Few days after moving in, the mould started showing, I snapped pictures and even did a video to them, I had two toddlers at home who were reacting to this mould, even my hubby kept sneezing. We had to leave since they couldn't do anything about it. Aside the mould, we met so many rubbish in the garden, attic and behind the fence, apparently the last tenant dropped all those things, they made no attempt to remove them, I still spent £500 to throw away the rubbish. Now they have refused to return my withholding deposit, this is just sheer wickedness. Avoid this company at all cost😡😡😡😡

TrustpilotAvoid using any solicitors recommend by Pattisons!
I had a horrendous experience with Bridgeview Law, specifically with Ryan Kelly, the so-called "Junior Conveyancer." This firm is a complete disaster, and I urge everyone to steer clear!They picked up my case just before the completion date and sent the TR1 form less than 24 hours before the complaint date, expecting it to be signed and returned in time. They didn't even request a redemption statement from my lenders until AFTER the original completion date! I've called and emailed them countless times, but they completely ignored me.To top it off, they moved forward with the completion without any warning, claiming on the day that they were looking to complete. This was despite their prior promise that it would only take a week from the original date. They completely ruined my holiday by missing the deadline!The original completion date was supposed to be through Pattisons Auction on 22/08/24, but they finally completed on 9/9/24. Now, I'm still waiting for my funds and answers to my questions. The funds look suspiciously low, and the redemption costs seem way higher than it should be. I've raised my concerns, but once again, no response!After reading all the negative reviews, it's clear that this company is a shambles. If you want to waste your money or risk having your sale fall through, then go ahead and use them. Otherwise, do yourself a favour and avoid Bridgeview Law and Pattisons Auction like the plague!

TrustpilotPattinsons and accompanying solicitors not recommended
We recently sold our house through Pattinsons South Shields and used their recommended solicitors ICS Law and the communication between an ‘in-house’ firm and estate agents was dreadful. How can you recommend a firm that the office openly says is awful. On one instance I was phoned by Pattinsons relaying info from our buyers and when I phoned back to give an answer Keith the ‘Senior Manager’ stated he won’t pass that message on as that’s not his job. He told me to call the solicitors to do that he won’t get involved…when someone from his office was the one who called me in the first place and got involved!! We won’t be using either of these again and to others just pay slightly more and get a better service.
