GoogleJames has been most helpful with our property search over the last couple of weeks. He is patient and always willing to offer help and advice explaining all of the protocols. As a result we have decided to go with Whitegates to sell our property as we feel that we will be in safe hands.

GoogleI mainly dealt with James at the West Derby branch and found him to be friendly, professional and helpful. The only negative comment I would make is that towards the end of the sale I had very little contact from Whitegates and no official thank you/receipt for payment.

Thank you for your review and for highlighting both the positive aspects and areas for improvement. I’m glad to hear you had a good experience with James. Regarding your concern, I’d like to clarify that the final payment and receipts are handled directly by the solicitors, as they manage the transaction process and forward the payment to us. However, I completely understand your point and will certainly take this on board to ensure better communication in the future. We truly appreciate your feedback and your business with Whitegates.

GoogleSelling a House is recognised as being stressful, however, my very recent experience with Whitegates Estate Agents, West Derby, certainly helped to destress this operation. Caitlin Suleyman was my main contact and kept us informed of all activities on a day to day basis, which resulted in a smooth and successful Sale. Of course there were a few unexpected turns from prospective Buyers, but Caitlin dealt with these in a highly professional, courteous, and timely manner. Many thanks also due to Gail Roberts and Bernie for their help and expertise. This is the 3rd time we've used Whitegates West Derby, and we would highly recommend this professional and dedicated team.

GoogleWe are currently in the process of purchasing our property with Whitegates and couldnt be happier with the service we've received. Our broker is Megan Davies and she's been helpful, informative and professional from the start. We were a bit dubious about using a broker as opposed to our bank, as we didnt know what sort of fees to expect but we met with Megan anyway to find out. The service she provides is well worth the fees she charges (out of respect for her privacy I wont be specific but I will say that they are reasonable and not as pricey as you might expect). She explained the entire process to us from start to finish, she explained not only the conveyancy process but the mortgage application and re-mortgage process, and gave us a realistic timeline for completion. We were shown a comparison of rates from different lenders and weve actually ended up with a better rate than if we had just gone to our bank like we were originally going to. No query that weve had has been too much trouble for her to answer and shes just generally a lovely person to deal with. We have also dealt with Amanda who has been liasing with the seller/sellers solicitor and dealing with chasing up documents and again we couldnt be happier. Weve been kept fully informed of developments on a regular basis. Definitely recommend Megan as a broker, it was absolutely the right decision for us and her services are spot on !

GoogleI’ve just attended a viewing of a property with Richard White and was so impressed with his professionalism and customer service.
