19th Apr 2025 (1 year ago)Company was not proactive. They did not give feedback on one of the few viewings we had and at least two of the viewings were by people who had little intention of buying, not good enough
7th May 2026 (15 weeks ago)Made it easy for us from start to finish ??????
17th Jul 2026 (5 weeks ago)Great service, couldn’t fault it from start to finish.
20th Aug 2026 (3 days ago)Had our viewing cancelled at very short notice. We travelled from Weston Super Mare, we waited at the property as we did not know the viewing had been cancelled. Finally gave up and drove all the way back home only to find a message on our answerphone to say the viewing had been cancelled. Waste of time.
23rd Jul 2026 (4 weeks ago)Landlord came to the property with a guy to measure the windows let himself in the garden and stood there watching me through the patio doors which scared me to death. After about 10 mins he introduced himself and was laughing at me for being so scared. He then said “oh I thought you would be at work” so if I had been at work he would have let himself in. The boiler broke in Nov and we were left without heating and hot water for 10 days with a small child as the landlord didn’t trust the engineer that Carla sent out on the same day. Unscrupulous landlord tried to take all the deposit even though the house was cleaner than when we moved in.
20th Aug 2026 (3 days ago)Love property provided an excellent service. I can recommend them (and despite my surname there is no connection between us)<br><br>Edit in 2026. We originally used Love property as a letting agent (above comments). They now acted for us in a sale. Their professionalism and dedication continued. Thoroughly recommend.
29th Jul 2026 (25 days ago)Absolutely fantastic service and professionals. Fiona and Avril have restored my faith in estate agents as I had been messed around by another agency. Two weeks after signing with them I got an offer on my home so fingers crossed. Thank you both x

3rd Aug 2026 (20 days ago)I can’t recommend Danielle at Acorn Lettings highly enough. She has been absolutely fantastic throughout the whole process.

24th Jul 2026 (30 days ago)Wouldn’t use another Agent in Darlington. Tony and his team are fantastic and unmatched in my opinion having used them for several transactions now. Highly recommended
28th Mar 2022 (4 years ago)We found Halls very helpful and professional.
14th Jun 2025 (1 year ago)I used Collier to sale my late father’s home, they were incredibly quick in everything they did and kept good communication with me being a distance seller. They made the whole experience a lot easier to deal with.
Ryan James Estate Agents - Bishop Auckland
136 Newgate Street, Bishop Auckland, DL14 7EH(218 reviews)
7th Aug 2026 (16 days ago)We have had a great experience with Ryan James estate agents. The house move itself was stressful at times, but we felt supported by the team throughout. We would like to give a special mention to Gill and Lauren who’s communication was excellent. If we were looking to sell again, we wouldn’t hesitate to use Ryan James.
11th Sep 2025 (11 mo. ago)I would like to say a special shout out to Chris Joyce from lettings, he has shown great professionalism and excellence. He managed to let one of my rooms out in August 2025 and look forward to the next room being let very soon!!
15th Jul 2025 (1 year ago)Overpromised, Underperformed and Untrustworthy – My Costly Mistake with HSD I initially listed my property with PurpleBricks in March 2025 for £535,000. After limited viewings over a three-month period, I began exploring other options and submitted an enquiry to WeBuyAnyHouse. They quickly came back with an offer of £460,000—roughly 14% below asking—claiming it would allow for a quick sale. I immediately declined, as I was not in a rush and didn’t want to take such a significant loss. Shortly after, my details were apparently passed on to House Sales Direct (HSD), seemingly a sister company, without my explicit consent. HSD came across as professional and engaging at first. They promised a 98% success rate in selling properties within 28 days, citing a strong network of pre-approved buyers and investors who could complete within 6–8 weeks. They suggested a sale price spread of £510k–£535k, assuring me they would work to get me the best price possible. It sounded promising. Based on these assurances, I decided to proceed with HSD. I withdrew my PurpleBricks listing—costing me £300—with the understanding that HSD’s investor network would accelerate the sale. But things quickly began to unravel. Despite supposedly having investors lined up, HSD said they needed to relist my property on Rightmove first. When I questioned why investors couldn’t simply view the home, the response was vague. It took nearly two weeks for them to relist, and the new asking price was £525,000. A full week passed without any communication. Then came a call recommending the price be dropped to £499,000. I was told this was “just a marketing tactic,” and that they still aimed to get me a sale within the original £510k–£535k range. But I struggled to understand how listing a property nearly £40,000 lower would achieve that. I asked again about the investors. They finally admitted the only offer received was the same £460k I'd declined weeks earlier through WeBuyAnyHouse. This was when the red flags really began to show. Why wasn’t I told this upfront? Why present an optimistic price range if their investor offer was fixed at £460k from the beginning? Why was I encouraged to pull the property from PurpleBricks if they intended to rely on the open market anyway? I could have just reduced the price there and avoided unnecessary costs and delays. Doing more research online, I found stories from others with eerily similar experiences. It appeared HSD’s real model was to attract sellers with high expectations and then drop the price, relying on open-market tactics to force a quick sale. Despite claiming not to charge commission, they would never clearly explain how they made their money. It seems they may be negotiating higher prices with buyers while offering sellers less—profiting off the gap. No transparency, no trust. Meanwhile, they knew I was paying a high mortgage on an empty property. It became clear they were hoping I’d become desperate enough to accept the same low £460k offer I had already rejected twice. In the four weeks my property was listed with them, only four viewings were arranged. Two were no-shows. Of the remaining two, one viewer stayed for just five minutes—asked no questions and didn’t even view all the rooms. It felt performative, not serious. As expected, neither viewer submitted an offer, despite supposedly being “pre-qualified and keen.” Eventually, I told HSD I wanted to withdraw the property. That’s when I was informed—shockingly—that I had unknowingly signed up for a 52-week contract, and I’d need to pay £1,500 to exit, or £999 if paid within 7 days. I wrote to them, acknowledged that they had done some work, and offered a reasonable £699 exit fee, explaining I needed to rent the home out due to financial strain. They refused and insisted on full payment. I paid the £999 immediately—but it still took a full week and several chasers before they finally removed the property from Rightmove. By the end of the ordeal, it was clear I was no longer a priority for them. In summary: Do I regret choosing HSD? Absolutely. Would I recommend them to someone looking for a fair, transparent, and professional house sale experience? No. If your only goal is to sell quickly and you don’t care about value, they might work for you. But if you want to sell your home at a decent price with a partner you can trust, I strongly advise staying away from HSD.
22nd Jun 2026 (9 weeks ago)Extremely disappointing and unprofessional experience. I paid a £150 holding deposit after being told the landlord had approved my application and that I would proceed as the tenant.<br><br>Only a few hours later, I was informed that the application had been rejected and the refund would be issued. The refund was not processed on time, forcing me to chase it daily with no proper communication or urgency. It was only returned after a full week of constant follow-ups.<br><br>Although the money was eventually refunded, the way this was handled was unacceptable, stressful, and shows a clear lack of professionalism and respect for tenants’ time and money. I would not use this agency again and strongly advise others to be cautious.
18th Aug 2026 (5 days ago)Had a great experience buying a property through Let Property. Sales process started with a tough negotiation and completion was pretty smooth. Picked up keys today and very happy with the purchase for the price I got it for - would 100% use them again for another purchase as they have a lot of good deals if you are looking to buy tenanted property.
23rd Jul 2026 (4 weeks ago)Janine listened well and came up with the perfect home for me. Moved in two weeks ago and I am in love with my new home. It's like she tailor made it for me. Thanks Janine!
7th Jul 2026 (7 weeks ago)Excellent service from start to finish. The auction process was straightforward, communication was clear throughout, and my empty property sold quickly. Grant was professional, knowledgeable, and kept me informed every step of the way, always replying to my queries quickly. I would happily recommend Moovd to anyone looking to sell their property.
14th Aug 2026 (9 days ago)I have recently purchased a property managed by Estates, and I must say that throughout everyone involved in the buying process for me, Joy was exactly what she is named. Excellent communication, super friendly, good updates, prompt replies... I have heard stories of sellers' estate agents being difficult when you're the buyer, but this is the complete opposite. Thank you Joy, you're an asset to the company!
