Brilliant experience buying my first home. Usual bumps along the way through a difficult market but Demi was always so helpful and easy to contact. Each viewing arranged was always smooth and staff were lovely & offered really helpful tips. Thank you!
We have recently sold our house through Waterson's and would highly recommend them to anyone! We received excellent advice from them at the start of the process and the whole team have been very professional and extremely helpful throughout - keeping us well up-dated, informed and advised through all the negotiations. If I have to sell another house, I will most definitely be going back to them again.
Demi was so helpful and informative throughout the entire process and make it all so smooth! Absolutely recommend!
Watersons Hale recently sold our house in Altrincham. Demi was my contact and I couldn’t have wished for a better person to work with. Demi was friendly, professional, communicative, efficient, and proactive. The whole process was genuinely seamless and I felt in safe hands throughout the house sale. I would certainly recommend Hale Watersons to anyone looking for an estate agent. A big thank you to Demi and the team. I will miss our catch ups!
We have just purchased a house through Watersons and they have been great throughout the whole process. All of the staff members we met at the house were knowledgeable about the house and sale. Afterwards, Ryan in the office was helpful, organised and quick to respond. Before this house, we had started the buying process of 2 other houses with 2 different estate agents in the area, we had terrible experiences with them both. If/when we sell I'd 100% use Watersons and recommend them.
Short version: Waterson's are the best, just use them for your house sale (in Sale)
Longer version:
We benchmarked a few estate agents when selling our property. Waterson’s were the only ones that answered the phone consistently and knew things about the properties we were enquiring about.
Their fees are good, they know the properties they’re selling, they’re super friendly and actually get the job done.
On the buying side we saw the same. Other estate agents just sat there and let us look around, knew nothing about the history or facilities in the houses but Waterson’s do their research. They know the market, they know the area. Helen, Sophie, Kyle, everyone, they’re on their A game.
Where the trope generally goes “urrghh estate agents are all crap” it’s nice to see there’s an exception to the rule.
Top job team, keep it up.
(I am not a paid shill, but the difference between our experience with Waterson’s and the other agent we dealt with in our chain was night and day and they earned this)
Recently used Watersons for the purchase of our new home. Helen and the team were fantastic. Fab at communicating between us and the sellers, made it a smooth transaction and were really friendly. Highly recommend!
Watersons hired a company that did a pretty bad inventory and didn't properly clean the house that I rented. The property was delivered to us in horrible shape, even with dog faeces. At the end of the tenancy, they want to charge for damages that were there before I moved in and for cleaning. If you rent with this company, send pictures of everything within 10 days and be prepared for a difficult checkout process.
Updates:
06/10/2023 - We are now forced to open a case with TDS to get our money back because they didn't return any of it.
13/10/2023 - Watersons gave back almost 70% of the deposit and is going to dispute the rest. Now we are waiting for TDS to accept the case.
Milo, Josh and the whole rental team were fantastic. They are far and away the best agency in the area. Highly recommend them all to any prospective tenants and landlords.
We recently completed on the purchase of our new home. I cannot speak highly enough of Alex at Watersons and how quickly and smooth he made everything. I highly recommend anybody looking to buy / sell a house to use these guys!
Recently went through the process of securing a rental property in Hale and it all went very smoothly. Josh kept me updated throughout. Really impressed with the level of service provided.
I've just sold my house using Waterson's Sale office. Without exception all the staff were helpful, efficient and very friendly. Viewings were managed brilliantly, a great price was secured and I was kept up to date every step of the way. Getting to completion was pretty tortuous and drawn out and I really feel that Sophie deserves a specific mention here as she was so good and such a great ambassador for Waterson's. I would have no hesitation using them again in the future, and I would certainly recommend them.
Very supportive team during our house sale, particularly as everything wasn't straight forward!
We sold our house with Watersons recently as part of a life changing house move. The level of service was exceptional. The team regularly went over and above to support us throughout the process. Without Alex and the team's support this would not have happened. Highly recommend.

Thank you so much for your help and advice in finding new tenants for my rental house.
I was impressed with your professional and efficient manner in which you dealt with tricky situations.
You were so helpful and went the extra mile to make the transaction hassle free.
I would highly recommend you and your company Watersons to anyone thinking of rentals in the area.
Thank you ..

I have used Watersons estate agents on three occasions now for letting and selling properties in both the Sale and Hale offices.
My recent transaction was to find a tenant and let out my apartment in Sale. Nick in Lettings at the Sale office was very efficient and professional throughout the process and I would recommend Watersons......
Thank you Alex Visinoni @ Watersons.
Although we are the purchasers, Alex was quite professional, and obviously very experienced. He was able to work well with all advisers and was instrumental in ensuring things progressed well.
Although there were tense moments, we really do appreciate Alex's input.
Always responsive and helpful. My emailed offer on a property got lost in their spam folder but it all turned out okay in the end :)
We have used Watersons previously and returned to them for this property sale because of the quality of service provided by Peter and his team. Kirstie led this sale with professionalism; she was courteous and helpful throughout the successful process.
We have used Watersons to buy and sell a number of properties - as well as managing a number which we rent through them. Their service is incredible so much better than 2 other companies we had the displeasure of dealing with in the area. Proactive, polite, no-fuss and super helpful
