Brilliant Service - 5 Star Estate Agent

I was genuinely so impressed with Manning Stainton. They are a fantastic estate agents.

Everyone was really friendly in the Wakefield Branch and I felt from minute one that everyone actually cared and wanted to help.

Millie at the start of the process was super friendly and helpful. Harry who visited my property to value and take the photographs was also really friendly. In 24 hours the brochure was complete and the property listed on the market. 3 days later I had it sold STC. I couldn’t praise them enough with how quick they were with this process.

As part of the process, you are allocated a move manager. My move manager was Ann Rimmington. I can’t begin to speak more highly of her. The conveyancers in all parts of the chain were so poor, but Ann was able to chase them everyday and keep the pressure on to get things done. Her communication was excellent and I was always kept in the loop. She’s absolutely fantastic at her job and without her I don’t know if the chain would have survived.

Overall, I couldn’t have had a better experience with Manning Stainton, and I would highly recommend anyone to use them for their next move. I know I’d use them again in a heartbeat if I need them, but I’ve hopefully found my forever home now!

Extremely helpful!

From the beginning when Harry Moxon came to do an evaluation, everyone including Laura Adkin and in particular Ann Rimmington did everything they could to get us moved. They were always easy to contact and Ann went above and beyond in the weeks before completion.

Wakefield branch were excellent

The team at the Wakefield branch were very professional and great at communication which is so important when selling a property. Initially the valuer/manager Lee was super when he visited my property and carried out the valuation and then subsequently came to take the professional images for marketing. The sales team were efficient when dealing with my viewings and giving feedback. The negotiation of the sale was handled very well too and most importantly of all they have a lovely lady called Ann who is the “move manager” she played a vital role in monitoring my progress with buyer and was very communicative. I’m afraid these days solicitors don’t want you ringing them, talking to them.. everything is done via email or an in house app! By having Ann in her role it enabled me to glean information on exactly what stage we were at, timescales for various stages and reassurance that everything was going ok. I’m not sure if all estate agents have similar personnel carrying out this role but certainly from my point of view it proved invaluable. I can highly recommend Manning Stainton and their services.

My Move Manager Ann was a blessing

Sold my first home with Manning Stainton at Wakefield. My Move Manager was Ann Rimmington who was incredible. The move took just under 9 months with no fault of the estate agents however I believe this would have taken even longer if it wasn’t for Ann. She completely understood my frustrations and helped wherever she could to get things moving. She went above and beyond what was expected of her, making calls & sending emails to people when it really wasn’t for her to be doing. However, she knew the impact this was having on me and wanted to help. She is an asset to Manning Stainton and I am thankful for all her help throughout a very stressful process

Dishonest and poor communication

Staff were dishonest about vendors situation when asked.

Estate agent they sent round to do the viewing also lied about property prices in the area.

Harry - was rude on the phone and actually hung up after spending the whole conversation trying to talk over me.

Staff are happy to advertise properties £75-£100k over market value and not manage vendors expectations.

Staff don’t bother getting back to you when you put offers in. Wait for you to call in order to get an update (still waiting to find out if my offers been accepted or not).

Thankfully, the property I want has been on the market for over a year (originally listed £100k above market value) and the vendor is moving to another estate agents next week, so I can purchase via them.

Reply from Manning Stainton Estate Agents - Wakefield

Good afternoon
Thank you for sharing your feedback. And taking the time to discuss with us over the phone. We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations. However, we’d like to clarify a few points to avoid any misunderstanding.
There was no intention to be dishonest regarding the vendor’s situation — there appears to have been a misunderstanding about the vendor’s next steps at the time of your enquiry. The agent who conducted the viewing was acting on information they believed to be correct, though it later turned out the comparable property prices was inaccurate.
We also want to make clear that we do not list properties £75,000–£100,000 above market value as suggested. In this instance, we had received offers and significant interest at higher levels than the offer you mentioned.
Finally, we were not ignoring your offer; we were awaiting a formal response from the vendor before coming back to you. We appreciate your patience and are sorry for any frustration caused by the delay.

We take all feedback seriously and will continue to ensure our communication remains clear and professional going forward
