I had the pleasure of dealing with Carly from regional for the valuation on my flat, with her advise I did what was needed to secure a buyer and it I got the price I wanted, and bought my dream home because of that
It took a little longer than I had hoped for the sale to go through but that was down to chain issues, very happy with the service provided by Carly x

I had an excellent experience with Carly from start to finish. The team was professional, responsive, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. They kept me informed at every stage, answered all my questions promptly, and worked hard to ensure everything progressed smoothly.
Their friendly approach and attention to detail made what can often be a stressful experience much easier. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy, sell, or rent a property.

Good way to sell a property
Carly is a very knowledgeable and experienced agent. Very nice to deal with and punctual with appointments. My property has taken a while to sell but that is down to the location and type of property. The agents worked hard to get a sale.

Pattinson sold my property via auction recently.
I can't thank Janine Taylor enough. Working with Janine Taylor and the team was an absolute pleasure. Janine kept me informed all through the process of selling my home, and was able sell over the asking price.
Janine has demonstrated good negotiation skills and knowledgeable in her field of work.

Pattinson Estate Agents, Jarrow
Pattinson Estate Agents, Jarrow have just handled the sale of my house. From the beginning to the end all of the staff were very professional and kept me updated every step of the way. When there was a problem with legal matters, Alison was amazing, she went above and beyond to help us to resolve the issue and always did so with a friendly smile and sympathetic ear, I cannot thank her enough. I would highly recommend this branch to sell or buy your home.

I haven’t experienced better customer service from any other company than I have with the Pattinson team in South Shields. Lucy and Lauren and the rest of the team were incredibly supportive throughout and really went above and beyond to help. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Shady practices and hidden fees—they’ll hold your property hostage.
I wouldn’t recommend this auction house to my worst enemy.
After months of failing to sell my property, I did the sensible thing and gave my 28 days' notice to withdraw. Not once during that notice period—nor in the "multiple calls" they claim to have made—did anyone mention a £1,200 penalty. It wasn't until my contract had already ended on August 26th that they suddenly "remembered" I owed them money.
The sheer audacity of their business model is impressive:
The "Hostage" Tactic: They flat-out refused to de-list my property from portals, effectively blocking me from moving to a local estate agent until I paid their unsubstantiated invoice.
The Inconsistency: First, they told me the fee was for "failing to provide a legal pack." Then, the invoice magically changed to a "withdrawal fee."
The "Small Print" Trap: They hide a massive £1,000 + VAT penalty inside a convoluted sentence in Clause 4. Most people assume a withdrawal fee applies when you pull out of a sale; here, they use it as a weapon if you don’t jump through their administrative hoops—hoops they never bothered to mention while I was actually giving notice.
I have paid this £1,200 under protest just to get my property back from them, but I am currently seeking legal advice and escalating this to the Property Ombudsman.
Prospective sellers: BEWARE. They are more interested in collecting "withdrawal fees" than actually selling houses. If you value your money and your sanity, take your business to a professional firm that actually communicates like they’re in the 21st century.
I expect a full refund of this unjustified charge. See you at the Ombudsman.

Hi Phil, We’re sorry to read your comments and that you feel dissatisfied with the service provided.
At Pattinson Auction, all vendors are required to review and agree to our full terms and conditions prior to entering into an instruction. These clearly set out all fees, including any applicable withdrawal charges, along with the circumstances in which they may apply. There are no hidden fees and all Pattinsons costs are transparently detailed within the contractual documentation.
It is also important to note that, whilst a property remains under an active agreement with us, certain obligations apply regarding marketing. These terms are also clearly outlined within the agreement signed at the outset.
We always encourage clients to carefully review the full contractual terms before proceeding and where necessary, to seek independent legal advice to ensure full understanding prior to instruction.
That said, we take all feedback seriously. If you are willing to share your details directly with us at reviews@pattinson.co.uk we will be happy to review the matter further with the team involved to ensure everything has been handled correctly and appropriately.

Dan and Hilary have been brilliant from the first meeting, very understanding and professional! I would only ever recommend Pattinsons in Houghton-le-spring for their outstanding efficiency to get my property sold!

I was appointed executor to my brother will and acting on behalf of his beneficiary (son) who wished to sell his father's home.
We contacted Dean Florence at Pattinson Jarrow office
Who gave us a valuation and suggested we put the house to auction (they also offer the whole package of solicitors etc) which we decided to take his advice.
We were referred to Caitlin Pattinson who went out of her way to make this whole process stress free, she was in regular contact keeping us updated on Viewings etc
And the day of the auction went without a hitch we felt that the service offered is second to none and would highly recommend this company if you are thinking of buying / selling a property.
We found them very helpful, polite, approachable, honest what else can we say
But a huge thank you.

Recommended by Lovelle estate agents
Recommended by Lovelle estate agents. Very pushy when asked about the fees and still wouldnt state exactly what fees there are to pay as a seller. Phone calls were vague and would try and move to different tact as distraction. When asked to put it in writing there was just a random screenshot of prices. Where these had come from I have no idea as there was no reference. The email language used was very passive aggressive and not customer focused. Stating that we did not have to sell with them. Email ignored and 3 days later they rang pushing to sell the property. A company I would stay clear from

Pattinsons Yorkshire strung me along for a year asking when I was going to put my house up, then, when I was ready, I got in touch with them and they said they no longer dealt with houses like mine. Wasted time, passively aggressive attitude. Would not recommend.
