Client Reviews
Excellent rating
Based on 66 reviewsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!! Sahan Rannan-EliyaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very professional and helpful throughout the whole process of selling a property for me. Would highly recommend. Thanks Will DuffieldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rob and the team are fantastic, through the buying process they made things easy and truly care about the customer. Very highly recommended! James TappendenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brilliant estate agents. I have dealt with a lot of estate agents up here and these are definitely one of the best. Josh SpurlingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend the team at Symonds Taylor. They guided me through sale and purchase and made the process straightforward and stress free. Caroline LambTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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. Madonna YumnamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rob and the team have been fantastic throughout the sales process. It was a highly professional service, delivering impressive photographs, marketing material and very helpful advice in an efficient timeframe. I would highly recommend Symonds Taylor Estate Agents. Sylvia WorthyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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! Georgie CummingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service. I was kept informed throughout sale, honesty prevailed throughout, which has not always happened with other local estate agents I have used in the past. So thank you staff at Symonds Taylor!
