My experience with pat robson was so quick. I had very limited time to move property (less than a week!!) and the lady who was processing our move (Abbie) was really responsive and fast.

We can’t wait to move in,

Thankyou x

Outstanding Property Management and Service!

I’ve been working with Pat Robson for over 5 years now, and I can’t recommend them highly enough! From the moment I entrusted them with managing my properties, they’ve consistently gone above and beyond to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Their Lettings management team (lead by Laura) is incredibly professional, responsive, and knowledgeable about the local property market. They handle everything from tenant screening and maintenance issues to rent collection with efficiency and care, leaving me worry-free as a landlord (who lives miles away). Communication is excellent—they keep me informed at every step and are always quick to respond to any queries or concerns.

What really sets them apart is their attention to detail and personalized service. They truly treat my properties as if they were their own. Whether it’s finding reliable tenants, ensuring the properties are well-maintained, or resolving issues promptly, Pat Robson has exceeded my expectations at every turn.

If you're looking for an estate agency that is reliable, trustworthy, and takes pride in offering top-tier property management, I wholeheartedly recommend Pat Robson. They’ve made managing my properties stress-free and incredibly rewarding!

Thank you, Pat Robson, for your exceptional service!

Great help with renting a flat

I was in a rather irregular situation and the online referencing system could not take it. However, the letting coordinator helped me kindly and swiftly and I was able to get through the procedure. I asked quite a few questions even after that, but my questions were always answered promptly and cheerfully. I really had a great experience with this company in the process of renting my current flat.

They gave me a wrong serial number for my meter reading in the start of my tenancy , which cost me a 400£ bill for one month , tried to talk to them and their respond was “ that’s between you and your energy supplier “ even though they are the ones who gave me a wrong meter reading , I have all the evidence but I know that nothing will change because this how it works in uk , the landlord or the agency can do whatever they want without any consequences and the tenants close his mouth and doesn’t have any right

Word of Caution using Pat Robson for student letting.

Attempted to move our daughter into their 6 bedroom student house ( a Pat Robson managed property) at the start of August 2024 to find contractor work ongoing and the property so full of dust they couldn’t unpack their belongings in the bedrooms. The agent said the house was nevertheless habitable and had been professionally cleaned. One bedroom didn’t even feature in the check-in report, dust was everywhere, there were no blinds up in the bedroom windows, so not secure for a flat of six girls, the garden/ exterior was a mess, there was signs of mould in the bathroom and blocked drains/hair in the shower wastes, a kitchen cupboard door was hanging off, and no backdoor keys present. We’re not new at this. We’ve dropped off older siblings at various student lets in Jesmond over the past few years but have to say we were shocked and unimpressed by the attitude and poor customer care from Pat Robson. Georgina who deals with student lettings has taken nearly three weeks to fully respond to the housemates’ email of concerns and they are still unclear as to what is going on. Pat Robson continues to send contractors into the property without properly notifying the tenants and refuses to give them any indication of when the works will be complete so they can properly move in. It seems that Pat Robson are banking on students not moving in to their properties until the term starts in late September and that the student tenants will accept flats that are not ready to occupy. They probably weren’t bargaining on a let with Newcastle Uni law students in the mix who actually read the contract terms and obligations.

Unfortunately, It looks as if this complaint is heading to the Property Ombudsman for redress as the agent does not appear to be interested in resolving the issues, continuing to brush aside their tenants’ concerns.

Word of caution to Newcastle students & their parents looking for properties when they go back to uni - be careful who you sign up with, read the agent reviews to find out who treat their tenants well and make sure you take photographs at the date of check-in and report your concerns in writing to the agent within seven days of the start of the tenancy so that you have some evidence when agents like Pat Robson attempt to deduct your deposit for professional cleaning, and dilapidations at the other end; when as in this case the property was not in a professionally cleaned state or in good repair at the start of the tenancy.

Friendly staff

The lettings coordinator Abbie Percival and the lettings agent Grace Brown were very friendly and helpful. They were both prompt, professionally, accurate, but also charming and polite. The referencing system that Pat Robson outsources to called Goodlord could be troublesome, although this is not Abbie's fault and she did her level best to navigate this system on our behalf when arranging our letting. In addition, Pat Robson has good properties advertised, well maintained and with competitive pricing given the market conditions.
