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"!

i left a message for one of your team about viewing a property as i'm looking to buy my first home, the person who called me back seemed very cold and not really that interested as i didnt have something specific i was looking for. when i asked to book the viewing i requested they told me unless i send my mortgage AIP over they wouldnt book this as i told her i wasnt interested in speaking to your advisors about the available rates. Don't know if you get many timewasters and this might be why you ask for this but don't tar everyone with the same brush! Ended the call feeling very negative about the whole interaction.

After going through house hunt with several agents without good result, I then spoke to Gal at white gate who booked me in to see the beautiful Megan (mortgage adviser). Megan did all paper works, So within one week of viewing, choosing one of the houses, my mortgage was approved. I couldn't believe that was possible. Thank you Megan for all your quick responses and understanding, you and the whole team at Whitegate West Derby rockPositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

As a landlord, I have been using Whitegates West Derby Letting Service for over 15 years and have always been incredibly impressed with their professionalism and attention to detail. Spencer was exceptional in sourcing my latest tenant and over the years both Melanie and Rebecca have been responsive in sorting out any issues that arise. All in all, Gail has assembled a brilliant team that delivers a fantastic service, which I would heartily recommend to any landlordPositiveProfessionalism

I booked several viewings and White Gate was the first to respond. A lady called Caitlin was very reponsive to book my initial viewing request. A gentleman named Richard was very professional showing us around the house, well-prepared for questions and knowledgable about the house. The communication after was also really good. It was a very pleasant experience overall and thank you for ensuring a smooth and stress-free process.PositiveQuality, Professionalism

Thank you for the very professional service provided and ensuring my house purchase was achieved as smoothly and stress free as possible, I have had some disappointments from other estate agents in the past but dealing with Whitegates gave me a feeling of security and confidence that things would be handled properly just as they where right up to the last minute and sharing the happy moment of completion with me. Buying a house can be a journey of ups and downs but this was eased with the communications and hands on approach to every obstacle which I would like to give a particular thanks to James Devonport for handling everything with great patience and positivity. You now what you are getting and were you stand so with my personal experience I would use Whitegates for a sale of my own and recommend them to any one else. Thanks again.

I recently sold my property with James and it was a great experience from start to finish. My initial meeting was with Bernie, who was very professional and laid out a clear plan for the sale. After that, James took over and managed everything seamlessly. He kept me updated every step of the way and handled any issues quickly. Thanks to their team effort, the sale went smoothly and faster than I expected. I highly recommend Whitegates, West Derby for anyone looking to sell!!

Daisy at this branch was incredibly friendly and helpful from start to finish. This was my first experience of buying a property and she made it much less painful! Daisy was quick to reply to emails, very pleasant over the phone and was able to chase up contractors and ask the seller questions in a timely manner. If I was ever to sell my new home, I would definitely consider using Whitegates!PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Broken window lock

In a rented property and we have had a problem with our bathroom window for months. Whitegates were great and sent someone to fix it, however they did not repair it properly. I spoke to Rebecca, who was very approachable, at Whitegates repair and she was super in helping to sort the problem promptly. Contractor Dave from L&G Windows came to fix the window and I would highly recommend him due to promptness, no fuss and showed us what the problem exactly was and dealt with it . Thankyou for all your help.

Satisfied with Whitegates but not conveyancers

We were happy with Whitegates customer service particularly Bernie and Daisy on the phone who was always willing to help.We did feel though that we had to keep phoning to see if they were pushing the property for us. We would not recommend using their recommended on line conveyancing company 'Castle' as we felt like we were doing most of the work for the conveyancers as there were numerous forms,actions,tasks,print outs,scans for us to do at home. Its fortunate we are computer savvy.

Congratulations and thank you to Whitegates, West Derby, Liverpool.

I recently put a nice Property in Widnes up For Sale with Purple Bricks. Despite a competitive price, I was messed about by 'Viewers' and it failed to sell after 6 months on the market.For this reason, I chose to put my West Derby Property up for sale with Whitegates, where I'd previously been impressed by the highly professional Bernadettte, who, without delay, attended the Property and using her vast experience, advised me of a realistic, yet achievable Sale Price, whilst also explaining the selling cost and associated Conveyancing fees.From that point, Brenda, Leanne, and Daisy kept me thoroughly updated with progress on the Viewings and Conveyancing side of things, and within a week, I had three couples round to view, one of which put in an acceptable offer.Our sincere thanks go to the Whitegates Team, who made this process absolutely stress free, and without a hitch. Congratulations to them all. Without doubt, we would not hesitate using the Whitegates Estate Agents in West Derby, Liverpool.
