"Unprofessional Service and Misleading Communication: A Frustrating Experience with Ryder & Dutton"
I initially called to arrange a viewing for a house and was told by Agent 1 via a callback after a few hours that the house already had an accepted offer.
Later, I asked my wife to call, and she spoke to Agent 2, who told her they would speak to the owner and arrange a viewing for us. Shortly after, we received an email confirming a viewing for 2 PM on Sunday.
However, the next day, Agent 1 called my wife to inform her that the house was no longer available because an offer had been accepted—despite the fact that Agent 2 had already spoken to the owner and secured a time slot for the viewing.
Today, I called and spoke to Agent 2, who asked if I had cancelled the booking. When I said no, they mentioned something vague about the owner not wanting a chain and preferring a quick sale. This directly contradicted the earlier assurance that we were scheduled for a viewing.
Frustrated, I spoke to the manager, who simply reiterated that an offer had been accepted, without addressing the miscommunication or misleading information we'd been given throughout this process.
This experience has been marked by extremely poor communication, inconsistent information, and outright misinformation between agents. It has been the worst experience I've ever had with an estate agency, and I will certainly be looking elsewhere in the future.

Simply the best!
Simply the best and I wouldn't go anywhere else. Alice Rimmer and the staff at the Ashton branch are great to deal with, professional and totally on the ball. They sold mother's property within days of listing and then their Move Manager, Geraldine Marsden took over to very ably shepherd the sale to completion. That is such a valuable role because it saved me the hassle and worry of chasing people up.

Superb from Start to Finish
Thank you Kirsten and team for an outstanding home buying process. Being a first-time buyer I was really happy to have closed on my first home with such a friendly team who were dedicated to supporting me at every step from start to finish. Thank you for everything and I look forward to living in my new home!

I put my house on the market with Ryder and Dutton and I was really pleased with the results. We had the professional photo package, which I also recommend, and they looked great. We had viewings booked with an hour or so of going live. Our first viewers were the ones who brought the house. Within a few days. The while sale process was quick and Kirsten from the Ashton-under-Lyne office was really helpful and always so polite and professional. I would definitely recommend Ryder and Dutton.

An exceptional smooth transaction on the selling of my late mothers home. Throughout the process Geraldine has communicated thoroughly at every stage. The other members of staff at the office were very cooperative at every stage. I could not ask for any more from them. I fully recommend the Ashton Under Lyne office and it's entire staff.
Many thanks for all your efforts.

I have just exchanged on my property today and Geraldine Marsden has been superb throughout the process. I have worked with Geraldine on a previous house sale and this time was no different. Communication is exceptional, always timely and her calm, friendly approach always provides you with the reassurance you need. Thank you once again Geraldine, Ryder and Dutton and lucky to have you.

Just purchased my first house from Ryder and Dutten. It was a stressful experience as being a first time buyer. I'm very grateful to Geraldine Marsden for all the help and support . She kept me informed thoughtout and chased various people when needed. If I was buying another house I would choose Ryder and Dutten and Geraldine Marsden
Thank you for all the help

Ryder And Dutton has a good customer care team. Kirsten is the best
Purchasing our first home
Just purchased our first home. At first there was too many people from Ryder and Dutton to communicate with, I think within the first week we spoke to 5 different agents around the purchase. Finally being given with Geraldine as the contact as our move manager who having one point of contact was great, Geraldine was easy to get hold of and it was a really easy process once she was involved. Thanks Geraldine!
