Pattisons in Cramlington were the vendors Estate Agents when we bought a flat. We received an email from the Morpeth Branch after the acceptance offer, which I still have, saying that all future communication should be with them, not sure why! When our flat survey showed damp we contacted the Morpeth Branch and asked them to inform the vendor - twice - I still have the emails - they didn't, and we ended up knocking on the front door of the vendor to inform her. We then dealt with the vendor all the way with the damp issue. I then got a call from Cramlington to say that we should not have dealt with Morpeth and to forward all the emails I sent to Morpeth. I duly did this and received not one word of apology or even an acknowledgement that I had sent them. The day of completion arrived and we received a call to say that the keys were at Cramlington. What a farce, talk about bad customer service and indifferent staff!! We couldn't get in the door to start with then the girl didn't know which were the keys. She tried to phone someone who was on their lunch several times without success, then she tried through her PC. In the end she picked some keys up and told me that these must be them!! Maybe no-one in Pattison has ever heard of labelling keys or leaving a note! The other issue I have is that at no point was I asked who I was, I could have been anyone walking in and asking for keys. If I were the vendor I would definitely be questioning my service and costs!!

10 Jan 2018Thank you for taking the time to write a review with regards to your recent purchase. When you put your offer forward, you called to the Morpeth office, hence the email response from them. Reviewing the notes on the file, the survey report was forwarded, from your mortgage advisor, to our Morpeth office, highlighting issues to be addressed. Our Morpeth office liaised with the vendor in order to resolve these issues. In the meantime I spoke to your solicitor and was informed that you had chosen to deal direct with the vendor as you had a builder in mind you wanted to look over the issues. I rang you and you confirmed this was the case. At this point, you did mention you had sent emails that had not been responded to and I asked for these to be forwarded to myself in order to address. To date, I have not received these emails. When I called to inform yourself and your son that the keys were able to be released, at no point did you make us aware, that picking the keys up from the Cramlington office was a problem. If we knew this was the case, we could've arranged pick up elsewhere. When you came to collect the keys, Gemma called me and to confirm before releasing them as she was not in the office when the keys were handed in. I clarified this and the keys were handed over. I apologise for the inconvenience, however, this is sometimes unavoidable when there are four members of staff in and out of the office on appointments. We are always contactable via mobile phones for this reason and we would never label keys for security reasons. As the largest independent agent in the North East we pride ourselves on our customer service. Please contact me if you feel that your complaint has not been dealt with as I feel this review is not a true reflection of the service we provide.

I recently purchased a property with my partner through Pattinson Cramlington and would like to say what a lovely experience it was. They usually say selling or buying a property is a stressful time however, I felt quite the opposite. The ladies in the branch were very helpful and polite and I... Read Full Review

I made the mistake of buying my first home through Pattinsons and cannot describe how awful they were. Both myself and the vendor were horrified at their lack of professionalism, the staff were rude and appeared to have no knowledge of what they were doing. As a cash buyer, we had hoped to be in...

Too many things to list, please see the above review. The agent were awful from start to finish and had no interest in making the process as simple as it could be. Misinformation, rudeness and a lack of concern for their customers was apparent throughout.

It has to be the worst shop front I have ever seen, they put your house up for sale in their window and you can-not see it for big advertisement stickers for them selves.

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
No procedure set.
