About Whitegates West Derby

At our Whitegates West Derby Branch we have a team of staff with over 60 years Estate Agency experience who are pleased to offer help and advice on the Purchase, Sale or Letting of your home. However, we are more than aware that some clients cannot always take time out to visit the office in person, which is why phone calls and e-mails are equally as important as personal visits. Gail Loller, the Franchisee and originally from the area, knows how important her local knowledge is and believes it to be a major factor in helping her and the team to build a Market Leading Branch within the area. Gail's motto has always been 'To aim to treat all Staff and Customers how she would like to be treated herself, at all times'. This she has always implemented, gaining a first rate reputation and recognition from her peers. "Well you don't win the Customer Service Award at your Regional Property Awards without having something special about you"!

We had a great experience buying our first home through Whitegates. A special thank you to Zaklina, who was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. She kept us updated every step of the way, regularly chased things up for us, and was always on hand to answer our questions. Her communication and support made what could have been a very stressful process feel so much easier. Thank you again!

I bought a bungalow through Whitegates and can honestly say they are so accommodating to the buyer and sellers needs. Whenever you go into the shop all staff are so attentive. A big thank you to all the staff especially Ross and Oliver who mainly dealt with us.

Freya was absolutely brilliant throughout the buying process. She was the perfect mediator and communicator, at one point clarifying an issue that had extended the process over a month between all the parties involved - once taken in hand and clarified by Freya this problem was resolved within quite literally 2 hours. Freya actively listened and was attentive to all my concerns as a first time buyer. She was transparent and keen to help. She went above and beyond and for that reason I would highly recommend Whitegates West Derby if this is the character they employ.

I recently viewed a property with Tracy, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, she was friendly, attentive, and incredibly professional. Tracy took the time to answer all of my questions with clarity and patience, and she made sure I had a complete understanding of every detail about the house. What stood out the most was her genuine attitude, she wasn’t just showing me a property, she truly cared about helping me find the right home. Her communication was clear and timely, and she made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. I’m extremely grateful for her support and would highly recommend Tracy to anyone looking for a property

My experience with Whitegates so far has been excellent. I am only awarding 4 stars because we have not yet completed the sale of our property, but I am sure when we do, they will get the full 5 stars. James is a very professional, persoanble and polite young man. Not something one always sees nowadays. He, along with the team have worked hard at finding the right buyer for our property in record time. We are impressed and would definitely recommend James at Whitegates to others.

We’ve just completed our sale with Whitegates and the customer service throughout the process has been fantastic. Monia was wonderful to work with and was happy to update me regularly and really helped to prompt communication with our sellers and their solicitors.

We’re currently searching for our perfect home and, although we haven’t quite found “the one” yet, Zaklina especially has been absolutely brilliant throughout the process. They consistently keeps us up to date with the latest properties, always taking into account everything we’re looking for, it really feels like having our own personal advisor. They’re polite, kind, and a pleasure to speak to every time. We truly can’t them enough for all their help and support.

Was sceptical selling our house and moving and there is lots of estate agents out there to choose from. We went with Whitegates as it was in the local area and has been established for many years, Bernie started us off on the path of getting on the market and could not of made it easier . She was very thorough and kept us up to date all along . She was excellent to deal with and always very helpful. After getting a buyer Monia took over the task , what can I say she was amazing . Was a rocky road but she kept us up to date and was always there for us on the end of the phone and always honest and transparent , this is what you want with things like this. Even when things did not seem to be going smooth from the chain , Monia was very professional and kept us updated and kept calm whilst we were not. Thank you Monia couldn’t have got through it without you , Got to say all the rest of the team in the office where great too.

My experience with Whitegates, and James specifically so far, has been outstanding. James’s communication skills are second to none. He kept me informed at every stage of the process, promptly returning calls and emails, and ensuring I was always up-to-date with the latest developments. This level of attentiveness is rare and highly appreciated, as it made me feel like a valued client rather than just another transaction. His professionalism, expertise, and dedication is making the sale of my property a seamless and positive experience. I am incredibly grateful for his hard work and would not hesitate to recommend James and the Whitegates team to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. They truly set the standard for excellence in the estate agency industry.

I have recently dealt with Whitegates in order to search for our new home. I am pleased to say I have now found the ideal property for us. During this time I dealt mainly with James.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Lydia Wilson, a property agent, and I must say that her service was nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, Lydia displayed a remarkable level of diligence and professionalism. One of the key qualities that stood out about Lydia was her unwavering commitment to open and close communication between the buyer and seller. She understood the importance of keeping both parties informed and updated throughout the entire process. Whether it was arranging property viewings, negotiating deals, or addressing both parties’ concerns, Lydia was always prompt and efficient in her communication, ensuring that all parties were on the same page. Her performance was truly impressive. 👍👍👍👍👍
