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"!

Just awful - please avoid this estate agent. Apply pressure tactics, lie about property, pressure buyers, care only about themselves. AVOID ALL WHITEGATES!!

We’re very sorry to read this review, as it does not reflect the standards or values, we uphold at Whitegates West Derby. After thoroughly checking our database, we cannot trace you as a client of our branch. It’s important to note that all Whitegates offices operate under individual franchise licenses, and we have proudly served the West Derby community under the same ownership for over 30 years without receiving complaints of this nature. We would appreciate the opportunity to clarify and resolve any concerns. If you could contact us directly with more details, we will do our best to identify the correct branch involved and help address the issue promptly. Our team has helped thousands of buyers and sellers over the years, and we are committed to maintaining trust, transparency, and professionalism throughout every transaction Kind regards Ross Atkinson

James Davenport came out to value our property. He was very professional and thorough with his assesment of our property. He was very smart and would definitely recommend him to any other sellers or buyers..

Great service from Leeanne

Excellent and friendly service from Leeanne Culshaw at the West Derby branch. I viewed a property this morning and Leeanne was very knowledgeable on the area, vendors situation and the property. I have bought from Whitegates before and have always received a great service.

I’ve found many letting agents really difficult to work with, and to take lots of time over everything but Whitegates were fast, efficient and always gave really quick and useful responses. Our agent was Kelly, and she has been brilliant throughout the process, from viewing all the way through to moving in and beyond - it has been such a positive experience for us moving into our first proper home together and we couldn’t be more grateful.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

It is fantastic when people take the time to share their positive experiences on line. Thank you once again. Regards Chris, Area Manager Whitegates Huyton & West Derby

Had a great time in a viewing today wih one of the agents Joseph Harding. Although he appeared misleadingly younger on age from other agents, he proved to be quite a salesman! Professional, responsive to my comments, understood my concerns about the property and took the extra mile to explain additional services the agency offered. I am sure he will be running his own office/branch in a few years. Very pleased and extra stars for the personalised service! Go LJMU Alumni!

Fantastic experience with Whitegates Derby as a landlord. I rent out a detached house in Roby and Whitegates took care of the process end to end from the day I took ownership of the property. I dont live in Liverpool so having a trusted team to take care of things was invaluable. A special call out to Mel and Kelly who were both great at staying in touch and keeping me updated. We now have a great tenant and I look forward to staying with Whitegates for a while! Thank you again!
