Buying a property for the first time…

Buying a property for the very first time is not an easy task but manning Stainton Garforth and Phebi made it look easy from start to finish.
I will recommend this agency to anyone looking to buy their home to reach out to them.
I’m also grateful for the gift 🎁 I received from them when I was collecting my keys 🔑

Great for First Time Sellers

Very easy to use, never sold a house before and they made it quick and efficient. Would prompt us with things that needed doing and would prompt the solicitors for taking forever!! Great help all around.

My recent completion.

The staff went out of their way to ensure the completion and exchange happened on time to fit in my timescale.
I had specific dates that had to be achieved for my move & they worked so hard to ensure the timescales were met.
A big thank you to you all for your professionalism and understanding

The only estate agent I'd consider using!

From start to finish, our dealings whilst buying from Manning Stainton have been second to none. Specifically the Garforth branch. They booked us in quickly to view the house, everyone was super polite (especially Emma who was so kind to us during us putting in our offer).
Phoebe helped keep us in the loop and chased solicitors with weekly updates.
Super impressed as there's a lot of moving parts to get right.

Fantastic customer experience

I would highly recommend Manning Stainton, specifically the Garforth office. They made purchasing our first home so easy and they genuinely kept us updated every step of the way. I will definitely be using them when I come to sell the house in the future. Thank you so much for your help! A special shout out to Teresa and Phoebe, THANK YOU!

Friendly, helpful and stress free!

I had Catherine from the Garforth branch help make part of the moving process smooth, fun and stress free as she booked in a visit to the property and helped me measure up for furniture. Catherine made sure I knew there was no rush, I could take my time and enjoy the process. A big thanks for making part of what is a stressful process smooth, easy and relaxed!!

Thank you

I had the best experience from Sabrina and Phoebe as Managers of two house sales. Emma from Garforth Branch was also amazing. I couldn’t recommend them any more. I have had a very emotional roller-coaster of a journey dealing with my Mum’s Alzheimer’s to then having to try and sell her house .Sabrina, Phoebe and Emma were all so kind, considerate and patient with me during what was a very emotive journey for me. Thanks to all for being amazing to deal with

**Avoid Manning Stainton – Overpriced Valuation, Minimal Viewings & Property Damage**

I would strongly advise against using Manning Stainton to sell your home. Our experience with them has been **frustrating, costly, and unprofessional**.

They **overvalued our property by £35,000**, leading to minimal interest and just **13 viewings in 6 months**. This left us in a terrible position, having to drop the price significantly to generate interest. It became clear they were more interested in securing our listing than providing an honest and realistic valuation.

Beyond their poor sales approach, their handling of our property was shocking. The **EPC assessor they sent caused damage** to our **loft hatch and walls** with his loft ladder. Additionally, when erecting the **‘For Sale’ sign**, they **damaged a solar light on our fence**, showing a complete lack of care.

Due to their **misrepresentation and negligence**, I am now in the process of **taking legal action** against Manning Stainton under:

- **The Misrepresentation Act 1967** for false or misleading statements regarding the property valuation.
- **The Estate Agents Act 1979** for breach of professional duty.
- **The Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 (CPRs)**, which prohibit misleading practices that cause consumer detriment.

Given my experience, I would **strongly urge others to avoid Manning Stainton**. Their unprofessional conduct, misleading valuation, and property damage have made this an **absolute nightmare**. **Stay away and find a more reputable estate agent.**

Dear Ian,

I am very sorry to read your review following the experience you had with our Garforth team.

As the region's most successful and trusted estate agent we strive to give our customers the best service we can and always approach things in an honest and transparent manner. We approach each valuation in that way and will always seek to try and get the best price we can, pushing the market where we think there is scope to do so. From there if the marketing price agreed does not result in a sale then we will work with our clients to adjust and go again. We did have a number of viewings lined up more recently and were hoping that one of those might have generated an offer but totally appreciate your decision to remove the property from the market and not allow those viewings to take place.

In respect of the issue caused by the Energy Assessment, again we are very sorry for any small amounts of damage caused and had come to an arrangement with you on how this would be treated. Given you have now removed your property from the market with us perhaps we can find another means of dealing with this.

Please send any further details to reviews@manningstainton.co.uk

Thanks,

Thank you Jacob & Teresa !

When we decided to sell our home we was going into the unknown, apart from everyone telling you how stressful it is.

From contacting manning Stainton the process has been so easy.
We had a brilliant fella come out (Jacob) and explain how manning Stainton work, and explain what they can do to help us.

Our house was listed on the market and sold all within 1 week. Which I think is amazing.

All our queries were dealt with efficiently by Teresa, who also updated us on everything and really kept us in the loop from start to finish with a professional feel to every conversation.

I will not hesitate to use this company and especially the staff again

Thanks Jacob & Teresa, you have been great.

All the best Kaden, Mackenna and Carter !

Excellent 5*

We recently purchased a house through Manning Stainton in garforth and their customer service was excellent. Sabrina gave us weekly updates so we didn’t need to do much chasing with the rest of the chain. Would definetly recommend using this estate agents to sell over the ones we actually used.
