We had a good experience of buying through Symonds Taylor and in particular Claire who handled all the after-sales work. She went above and beyond the service we got from the estate agent who sold our house (Bailey & Co) so I would definitely choose them for my next house sale.

Great personal and efficient Estate Agents. We had great service from Symonds-Taylor. We had tried to sell our period home a few years ago, but despite Rob Symonds' best efforts at that time getting prospective buyers through and enthusing them about our home we were let down by a couple of dubious surveyors being unfairly negative about the house. After a few years renting it out, we went to sell again. Selling a home is always stressful but we felt we would be in good hands from our previous experience, and we were not wrong. Claire and Rob provided an efficient, pleasant and 'personal' advice and service throughout, and steered the sale through with little fuss. Thank you!!

We bought our first home from Symonds Taylor and it was a seamless experience! Honourable mentions to Rob for taking the time to show us the homes and walking us through the features while most estate agents send part time students to just tick your name on an excel sheet of views booked on the day and Claire for meticulous updates and follow-ups.

Rob and the team are fantastic, there isn’t another Newcastle estate agent I would consider using. We have now been through two sales and a purchase with the team in recent years. They were able to act incredibly quickly on our recent sale, providing an honest well thought out valuation, producing high quality photographs and having multiple viewings prior to listing on Rightmove. Rob is able to find the perfect balance between making sure perspective buyers have enough time to view and ensuring that the viewings aren’t too disruptive. During the conveyancing process Claire was brilliant at making sure both sides were kept up to date with progress and we were able to complete within 3 months. Thanks again for all your hard work and a fantastic result!
