GoogleCalled up. I was polite, wasn’t rude at all. The senior sales woman was incredibly evasive and came across rude and also hung up the phone.
I queried why she was being evasive and politely asked if she could stop and just listen to me as she wasn’t hearing my queries; she proceeded to say “I’m going to end the call, speak to my director tomorrow bye”.
As a reputable estate agents, I don’t find that very fair. I also hope calls are recorded as that will prove why I have decided to leave a bad review.
Never had someone as rude as that speak to me.

GoogleThis estate agency provides a very efficient and professional service without being impersonal. Amber Purcell is clearly very experienced and this, together with her local knowledge of the area, led to sound advice in helping to present the house for sale. Likewise, contact with Leeanne has been equally positive.

GoogleThe start of the transition for buying my house was great but towards the end was awful. I turned up to the estate agents to collect the keys to my new house. I found the staff unprofessional, they did not have a welcoming manner and the staff did not even ask me who i or my partner was, ask for ID or to confirm the full address of the property i was collecting the keys of they basically just handed them over i could of been anybody. When i got the the property every single window was wide open and there was a whole heap of junk left in the attick and the fridge freezer was full of old mouldy food. White gates have had the keys for this propery for weeks and attended and left it like that.

Hi Darrian, Thankyou for your review. I am left somewhat confused? The fridge/freezer has nothing to do with Whitegates and i am sure people reading this review will understand this. I am sorry for the previous seller leaving the property in that condition however this has absolutely nothing to do with Whitegates. The day of your key collection was carried out by our sales team who knew who you were upon arrival. We were unaware of anything you was not happy with prior to completing on your property nor afterwards.
I hope that now time has passed you will edit your review.
Thanks

GoogleMy colleague was dead set on buying his first home with his Mrs.
They arrived early to view the pictured property and were waiting for 30 minutes for Leanne the estate agent.
Leanne called to say she running 15 minutes late and then the office called to say she would be 2 minutes.
Another 30 minutes passed and no one showed up. The office number rang out from 5pm as no one answered the office phone number. The office was ment to be open until 5.30pm.
To make matters worse it was especially cold that day! (Freezing and below).
It shouldn't be this hard to buy a house! You would think the agent would want to make commission!
Poor service and communication.
Disappointing!

Googlei have just sold a property through whitegates.
they over value the property to get you onboard then pressurise you to reduce it,to generate more views.
the recommended conveyancer worked out well.

Hi Ole Karamak,
Thank you for your 4-star review and for selling your property through Whitegates. We’re really pleased to hear the recommended conveyancer worked well for you!
We couldn’t find your name on our system here at Whitegates Walton Vale, but we understand your Google account details might differ from how you were registered with us. Either way, we truly appreciate you taking the time to leave your feedback.
Just to clarify a few points, for anyone reading, Whitegates operates on a no sale, no fee basis, and all of our fees are clearly outlined in writing before anything is agreed. We’re committed to transparency every step of the way.
Our valuers don't overprice properties to win instructions, they provide recommendations based on local market conditions, recent sales, and area performance, always supported with comparable evidence. Of course, the market ultimately dictates what a property will achieve, and if initial interest is lower than expected, we may suggest a price adjustment to help generate more viewings and secure the best outcome.
Thanks again for your review, and we wish you all the best in your next chapter!
Kind Regards
Lydia - Customer Success Team

GoogleHi this was an efficient and positive customer experience from valuation to offer being accepted. House was put up for sale promptly same day as pictures were taken on a Thursday, then numerous viewings planned in at convenient times and all close together so no waiting around on the Friday and Saturday. By Tuesday I had accepted the best of 3 offers and was kept up to date fully at all times by Leeanne who I spoke to most over those few days. That was offer accepted in just 5 days! Just waiting on the legal side to complete then will be on the move, cannot recommend highly enough if you are thinking of selling your property. Amazing and many thanks to all who were involved with my property.

GoogleWe could not be more impressed with the professionalism and responsiveness of Whitegates Walton Vale.
From our very first meeting with Joanne we were reassured of the knowledge and experience they bring to the selling process.
Due to the nature of our house sale, there was a lot of interest and Leeanne proved time and time again to be efficient, accommodating and professional. Bookings, emails and paperwork were all organised seamlessly and Leeanne kept us updated at each stage of the process.
This could have been a stressful situation, but with the staff at Whitegates taking so much of the pressure from us, it turned out to be a smooth and hassle-free sale.

GoogleWe’ve been looking for a house for well over a year now, whitegates have quite often been the seller of properties we have been viewing, each time we’ve been organising viewings, Whitegates have always been quick to respond and always are always happy to help. Each of the agents at Whitegates have all been amazing, Especially Kelly and Leanne who have made viewing houses and the process of putting an offer in super easy, would 100% recommend Whitegates, Walton Vale to anyone!!
