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.

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

Up until Ann Rmmington was involved in the sale I wasn't very impressed. When Ann got hold of the case she was amazing from start to finish not only was she professional but on the ball at all times and made our journey with Mannings much more pleasant. Thank you for everything Ann x

Thank you Ann!

We sold our house with Manning Stainton. The valuation was what we expected and the photos taken were excellent.

Our move manager Ann was fantastic. She kept in contact with us and the relevant parts of the chain to keep things moving even when it all seemed to be standing still. Thank you very much for making a stressful time more tolerable!

The house sale seemed to go on for ages with only 3 parties in the chain but this was down to other parties at the bottom of the chain.
Special mention to Ann Remington who gave weekly updates and did a brilliant job chasing the other parties on a regular basis.
Would recommend Manning Stainton for that reason.

Nightmare experience


From start to finish the whole experience was a nightmare! The communication was extremely poor, I rang them more than they rang me, and when they did ring me it was always ‘you need to do this’ ‘you need to pay for that or else the buyer is pulling out’…. 7 weeks in to the sale! I feel they favoured first time buyers over me, even tho this was my first time selling and buying at the same time. the move manager clearly had too much work on her plate to keep up with. I was strongly advised to allow the buyer and his ‘builder’ brother into my home to then go on to intimidate me and try get me to lower the house price, when I told manning Stainton nothing came of this situation, they put me in that position knowing I lived alone and that these buyers were ‘playing games’ as the move manager said herself. For the £2400 I paid I feel like I was ripped off! Would never recommend! If I could give them a zero star I would!

Hi Hayley.

I have tired to call a few times to see if we can resolve this, I’m very sorry to hear that you were unhappy with your experience. Selling a home is a major event, and it’s always our goal to make the process as smooth and positive as possible.

I’d really appreciate the opportunity to learn more about what went wrong and how we might improve. Please feel free to contact me directly at laura.adkin@manningstainton.co.uk / 01924234888 and I’d be happy to discuss this further.

Even though it seemed a long process I cannot thank Georgie enough at the beginning and as I was selling 2 houses at the same time Laura & Anne at the end. Communication was outstanding from phone calls to emails and promptly responding to my queries
Thank you so much to all of you

Outstanding service from Laura

Outstanding service from Laura, great communication, keeping me updated throughout the journey to my new home with Regular calls and helped ‘chase up’ solicitors to keep things moving forward. The day finally arrived, I think Laura was excited as me when I went in to collect the keys, thanks again Laura for all your help.

Second good experience

We have used Manning Stainton previously for our move and after a good experience, decided to use them again.
As we expected, we received professional and friendly service. Millie was amazing, guiding us through the process and always being on hand to help or offer a friendly word. She really went above and beyond.
We would not hesitate to use Mannings should we move again in the future.

Excellent service.

Without Manning Staionton managing the purchase of my new house, i don't think it would ever have been sorted.
A pro-active approach and constant communication helped the sale as smoothly as possible.
Ann Rimmington and the team, i do not think the other managing teams would have been able to get this completed in a timely manner.

Selling our house

The team at manning were amazing they really did work hard to make sure we sold our house. It was a very stressful time with some bumps In the road but they worked hard to get lots of viewings and sell our house.
I highly recommend the broker service mortgage advice bureau who took all the stress out of finding a mortgage and supported throughout the process. Nothing was too much trouble. Strongly recommend.
