We had a fantastic experience with Manning Stainton Estate Agents. The team was professional, helpful, and always available to answer our questions. They made the entire process smooth and stress-free.

I put my house on the market on Wednesday this week and sold it by teatime on Thursday, can't thank the staff enough for their help and advice. I can now buy the bungalow I set my heart on, thanks to Manning Stainton at Garforth.

Staff never followed up with me always me chasing them. When I complained to the branch manager she said to me you will be calling me next year thanking me that you didn’t get this house wanting another and that I was too emotionally attached to it already. When I called they would sigh down the phone and that’s when I actually got someone in branch to answer the phone normally you get head office call centre and they just ask branch to call you back. We sent our best and final to them last minute to the cut off as I had the feeling we was bidding against someone that they knew and was always matching our offer. They were extremely patronising with us. I had 2 emails in total from the sales progressor. My friend sold her house with them before me going through this process and she wanted another they where selling she viewed it and missed out on it due to not been sold herself. After she sold the house the other fell through she wanted and the agents didn’t even call her to view it again knowing she was on their books as sold wanting to buy. The house was close to me and I told my friend but it was too late they had already sold it again so she missed out again their own client. I debated writing this as I don’t like to be negative on local business but they are so bad people need to be warned! Avoid! Just to also add I have also read their response to the other negative feedback of them not accepting accountability but pointing out the little things they did manage to do. Just for the record my purchase went through in two month down to me progressing the sale and working closely with my legal.

This had been the most stressful and difficult move we have ever made. The one constant person through it all has been Emma Hart. Thank you so much for all your help and support.

Despite the long, frustrating process, when we kept up the pressure to stay on top of everything, Manning Stainton staff worked well to sell our property and were always reassuring and positive.

I have been really impressed by how proactive Manning Stainton have been in following through from our sale being agreed to contracts being exchanged/completed. They have checked in every week with eg the buyer/his solicitor/my solicitor/me to make sure everything is on track. In the past I have had to chase other estate agents I have used to find out what is going on but with Manning Stainton Emma has constantly been one step ahead. Much appreciated.

Once the sale was agreed Sabrina kept in touch with updates on progress and helpfully liaised with the vendor.

The staff at Manning Stainton Garforth have been amazing. From meeting Emma Campion at our viewing. Professional friendly and reassuring advice and support from Michelle Costello and Harriet Thompson, and being kept up to date with progress from Sabrina Aujla. The whole team have been amazing.

My experience was mostly positive, the main negative was not always receiving feedback on viewings which I undertook myself.
The service from my Move Manger Sabrina was first class though, and she was very proactive in getting back to me and keeping me in the loop. It is quite refreshing in this day and age for someone who says they will get back to you, to actually do that thing.

Can't think of anything to improve

The support we received from Emma Hart when purchasing our first home was very professional, friendly and supportive! I can definitely recommend Manning Stainton Garforth and in particular Emma. Nothing was too much trouble for her, always answered the phone to us so warmly and was very reassuring about any queries we had. Due to this we had a very smooth process, which only took 12 weeks and we received a lovely house warming gift from Manning Stainton, which was a nice touch!

Brilliant experience selling my Mums house, who had sadly passed away. Sabrina and the team did an amazing job and kept us updated throughout the course of this sometimes, difficult and challenging process. I would wholeheartedly recommend Manning Stainton 100%.

My first experience with Manning Stainton and overall very impressed . Sabrina Aujla handled my purchase and could not fault her she was very quick and replying to any of my queries and chasing up solicitors on both sides of the purchase. She always knew what was going on in the process and communicated well keeping me up to date

The Garforth branch were helpful and very informing from start to finish was the sale was of my parents house who both sadly died close together so they made it easier for me by showing round etc so thank you all would use them again for sure

Used Manning Stainton Garforth for 2 house sales and 2 purchases in 2 years ..
great service and communication throughout
Thankyou again .. Ben, Emma Hart and Teresa for all your help

We didn't hear anything for weeks after agreeing the sale of our home. When calling, we would be told our agent wasn't available and we would get a call back but the call never came. Our solicitor also struggled with the agents lack of communication.

Just sold through Manning. Great team and would highly recommend

Emma kept me updated regularly and nothing was too much trouble for her. Would highly recommend Emma

Manning Stainton at Garforth were great with our recent move, particularly Sabrina. We got plenty of viewings, and kept us up to date with progress after the sale was agreed. Really good all round. Thanks.

After two failed attempts to sell my property with other estate agents, I used Manning Stainton of Garforth, Leeds. What a refreshing change !
My house sold within a week, 5 viewers, 4 offers.
Special mention to Sabrina Aujla who was on hand when anything got sticky in the selling & hand over process. Well done & thank you.
