Excellence from Robinsons Sedgefield Branch…

I went with Robinsons Sedgefield Branch to buy and sell my property and their service was excellent. Danni, Ryan and Sharon were extremely helpful, always having time for an update throughout this stressful time. Not that I am planning to, but I would not consider any other agent in the area, just Robinsons Sedgefield again! Thank you so much!

Excellent service from Robinsons Chester le Street branch. From the initial marketing and valuation advice from Michael, through to the viewing feedback and offer negotiation by Michelle, Chelsea and Shelagh the service has been incredibly professional and efficient throughout the entire sale process. Highly recommended.

Sedgefield Branch went above & beyond!

It was an absolute pleasure dealing with Robinsons Sedgefield for both our sale and purchase. Ryan, Dani and especially Sharon were all amazing and kept us updated and involved through the entire transaction. Despite the process being difficult at the best of times, we were reassured and supported by the Sedgefield branch all the way. We would highly recommend these amazing agents - thank you all again!

Good experience

Robinsons sold us our house recently. The Durham branch were extremely helpful with any issues and queries we had throughout, I dealt mainly with Stacey but all of the team were excellent and friendly. We were first time buyers so their communication and advice was a big help.

No-Show Valuations

I called for a valuation but they were quite busy so it was arranged for a couple of weeks later. Then rescheduled due to the Bank Holiday (understandably).

The appointment comes and goes, no show. I was in the house, as was my son and 2 dogs who would have went nuts if someone knocked on the door. No phone call either which I would have expected for a pre-booked appointment.

I email the office that confirmed the appointment who say that the guy came and nobody was home. Incorrect.

If no answer to a pre-booked appointment, why not at least call? They had my number as they called to book it. I can only assume therefore either the guy "claimed" nobody was in to dodge the appointment, or went to the wrong house (again, 2 dogs, knocking door......).

Weirdly cold response from the office so presumably with the wait for an appointment they have more than enough work to worry about new business which is saddening as it was via Robinsons I bought the house back in 2008.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations, and we completely understand how frustrating it can be when an appointment doesn’t go as planned - particularly around busy periods like the Bank Holiday.

Our agent did attend at the scheduled time and reported receiving no response at the property. We understand this can be frustrating, especially when you were home, and we’re sorry for any confusion caused.

We also apologise if our response came across as cold - that was certainly not our intention. We value all of our clients, and your feedback has been taken onboard to help us improve how we communicate and respond going forward.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.

Absolutely appalling

Absolutely appalling! 2 viewings had to get cancelled, first one the agent didn't have a key, rescheduled viewing got there 10mins early only to be told there was a glitch with the website for sending me a viewing for that day - when it was sent by a staff member and confirmed by another staff member. Please do better next time, a big shame as the house looked great! Hopefully someone will get to view it soon!

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're very sorry to hear about your recent experience and truly understand your frustration and disappointment.

At Robinsons, we strive to provide the best possible service to all our clients, and we regret that you feel this way. While we do our utmost to ensure everything runs smoothly, occasionally unforeseen issues—such as access complications or technical glitches—can arise that are unfortunately out of our control.

We do try to accommodate everyone’s schedules as best we can, often waiting for clients who are delayed or managing multiple appointment changes. However, human error can occur, especially when handling numerous updates and communications across our team.

Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused. We are reviewing what happened to ensure we can prevent this type of situation in the future. It’s a shame you weren’t able to view the property, and we hope another opportunity arises for you to find the right home.

The excellent staff at the Chester Le St Branch

The excellent staff at the Chester Le St Branch were so helpful, friendly, informative and supportive when I got thrown into the deep end having to sell a family members house. My knowledge and experience was minimal and they guided me through from start to completion. I would like to specifically like to thank Michelle, Chelsea and Michael for always going the extra mile for me.

Cheerful and Helpful

As a purchaser I was a little disappointed that viewings of my property always seemed a bit rushed, but once I had committed to a purchase I was kept well informed. Negotiations with the vendor (a corporate entity) were difficult but Angela at the Crook office kept on top of things and chased up on numerous occasions when the vendor went quiet. Angela's cheerful voice was always good to hear and the transaction concluded successfully.

Farm Purchase

We have just completed the purchase of a property with Robinson’s Wynyard branch, this one was a little out of the ordinary as it was a cash sale. Joy Cruddas was a pleasure to deal with and kept us informed through the process. Very happy and would highly recommended them.
