Would not recommend

I've sold with these and, honestly, I wouldn't recommend them at ALL. They're brilliant if you're buying from them, but if you're selling, they'll just call you, rip you off, and give you false information. They'll slip something into the contract that you haven't actually read, so you have to be absolutely careful. Make sure you read every single detail because they say one thing and then do something totally opposite. I spoke to the branch manager again today and, as expected, he just defended his staff. I've been totally conned, 100%, and there's nothing I can do about it. Would not recommend dealing with them at all.

First class service

We had a difficult sale due to my buyer and their solicitor but Manning Stainton were brilliant especially Ann the convenience manager. Ann was fantastic at chasing all the relevant parties and keeping us informed throughout the whole process.

Great Service

Overall we wanted good communication and to be kept in the loop, especially as first time buyers we weren't sure what hidden requirements would come up. Ann was great for this and kept us up to date with what was going on. Only marking down to a 4 because we felt we weren't kept in the loop before Ann got involved.

Completion day was smooth and they came to collect the sold sign promptly.

We also used their recommended mortgage advisor Emma Cousins who we found to be very great and efficient.

As the buyer of one of the properties on their books I was supported by Move Manager Ann Rimmington. without question Ann delivered every promise she made about keeping me involved. Buying a house is a difficult process but I felt that Ann was always the calm voice of reason throughout the whole process. I can’t thank her enough

Had a great experience

Had a great experience, bought my home through them. They communicated with me through process and chased both conveyancers. It took a while but in the end I had the keys and they also gave a carry bag with some nice stuff. Thanks.

Ann Rimmington ( Manning Stainton )

We recently used Manning Stainton as my mum was buying a house that was on their portfolio.
We were really pleased with all dealings with them.
I mostly dealt with Ann Rimmington.
She basically told me that during the whole process of buying the property, that she would check in each week, and keep us updated on how things were moving along, as there were 3 parties involved. She did exactly that, she kept us informed constantly, and made sure everyone was doing what was needed to keep the process moving as it should. She was there to answer all my questions. She always returned every message that I left. I told her myself, she was the best part of the moving process, and she truly was. I cant tell you enough how fantastic she was. I wish she was running the country. So, be rest assured, you are in safe, and professional hands, with Ann, and Manning Stainton.
