Hartlepool Branch recommendation

We used the Hartlepool branch to sell our home and they've been great! This is the first time we sold a house and we needed help to navigate the process. The whole team (Craig, Rachael, Nicola, Steph, Joanne - everyone we dealt with) have been professional and supportive. They have also been honest and reassuring when needed. Highly recommend.

Smith&Friends were superb

Smith&Friends were superb in every aspect of selling our bungalow in Seaton Carew, Hartlepool. From the initial visit to value the property, to the preparation of the sales particulars and a rapid connection with the eventual purchasers. All contact with the sales office and the wonderful team was first class. Highly recommended

Smith and Friends Hartlepool

I moved from Birmingham to Hartlepool. We bought a house through Smith and Frinds in Hartlepool. I was really concerned about being so far away through the process and not being able to liase in person, however i need not have worried. I was kept inormed every step of the way, first by Joanne and then as things progressed, by Rachel. All of my questions and queries were answered and things ran very smoothly for us. Thank you to all the team at Smith and Friends.

Professional, proactive and effective

Responsive, professional and effective .
Have been using Smith & Friends to sell multiple properties in Hartlepool over the past 12 months.
Valuations have been realistic, the team maintain good contact with buyers and, most importantly, chasing solicitors as required to keep sales moving forward.
We would have no reservations using them for further sales.

Great service

Marketing & photographs taken ensured our property sold within 48 hours of going onto Rightmove.
We had issues with someone else in the chain but Smith & Friends were happy to chase our Solicitor on our behalf and staff were always friendly & helpful.

No stress or hassle

I bought a property this year through the Hartlepool branch of Smith & Friends. As a buyer, I found them to be professional, courteous and knowledgeable throughout the whole process and always happy to answer any questions. If the time ever comes for me to sell, I will keep them in mind.

Sale of Property in Hartlepool

The sale of my house, like many these days unfortunately proved not to be the most straight forward, however Smith and Friends were great throughout. The initial observations, photos, marketing of the property were excellent and this helped generate lots of interest while the property was on the market. Due to properties popularity, it did get slightly challenging at times with the amount of emails received for confirmed viewings, however I would rather it be this way than it generate little or no interest. The online portal is a very good way of checking where you are at with a property, and can imagine this being extremely useful with people who own multiple properties. Overall, experience and communication was great during a challenging property sale which got there in the end!
