Richard Kendall Estate Agent is exceptionally well-rated by customers. Customers particularly appreciate service and professional, though some mention concerns about communication and customer service.
Went to view a property on Wednesday 9th July. I waited 15 before ringing to see if anyone was turning up to show me round, no one did. I then rang the office and they said they had no recollection of my booking. I said I had a confirmation email. They said “well it must have been moved, did you not get told?”. IF I WAS TOLD I WOULD’NT HAVE TURNED UP WOULD I? I won’t be using Richard Kendall again. This is the second time this has happened now.
Mandy Bennett at the Ossett branch of Richard Kendall was, without doubt, the best Estate Agent if have ever dealt with! She went the extra mile on everything she did & whatever I asked it was dealt with without a problem. I've never had an Estate Agent like it, had some absolute nightmares in the past. I made a massive mistake in appointing W H Brown in Wakefield originally to sell my late Mum's property. They overpriced it, gave us poor information on how to set it up to sell, due to this we had very few viewings & very poor liason. The worst bit was recommending the incompetent solicitors, Gilson Gray in Lincoln, who were a nightmare. I got rid of W H Brown at the first opportunity & listed with Richard Kendall. The difference was night & day! Mandy dealt with absolutely everything brilliantly. She dealt with both sets of solicitors which was a thankless task. We completed yesterday & it would have still been on going if it wasn't for Mandy. To summarise, if you're listing a property in that area just use Richard Kendall, avoid W H Brown & never ever use Gilson Gray solicitors. Thank you Mandy, you've restored my faith in Estate Agents, well one anyway! Absolute star!!
As we have an existing relationship with Richard Kendall they were an obvious choice for the sale of our family home. With branches across the 5 towns they are a perfect choice for the region, with wonderful staff offering a personal, passionate service whilst remaining highly professional and efficient. Karen was our negotiator in Wakefield and worked so hard over a 12 month period! She kept the chain connected through a complex process with various issues, keeping related parties updated along the way. So happy in our new home and the pain was worth it - honestly Karen 😃. You're welcome to visit anytime to see what it was all about and that's not something you'll hear said to an estate agent very often - speaks volumes 🥰. Thank you.
I had an exceptional experience working with Richard Kendall . From start to finish, they were incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated to providing outstanding customer service. They guided me through every step of the process with clear communication, expert advice, and genuine care. Their deep understanding of the market and attention to detail made everything smooth and stress-free. I truly felt supported and well-informed throughout. It’s rare to find someone who combines professionalism with a personal touch, but Karen Marijewko exceeded all expectations. She provided me with more feedback and support than our solicitors did which helped settle the nerves when selling our property. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy, sell, or rent — they are simply excellent at what they do.

The service from Richard Kendall’s was exceptional! We had Elizabeth Cooke looking after us from the start of our sale, right through to completion. She couldn’t do enough for us, and was always on the ball, which helped calm us down when it was getting stressful. Thank you Liz, the world needs more people like you 🤗

Thank you to Alice and Francesca for all the support in organising the rental property. Alice was so helpful throughout the process.
Thank you to Alice and Francesca for sorting out our rental property. Without all your help, we would have really struggled. Alice answered all our questions and was so helpful. Thank you
Both Donna and Joanne were very helpful and knowledgeable regarding purchasing a property. I bought my first house through them and they always kept me up to date with what was going on and the next steps. They were very friendly and always knew the answers to any questions I had. Highly recommend!
One of the worst renting experience. Property Address: 27 Finkin Lane, Wf3 4NJ The story starts with Richard kendalls agent showing us a property and had zero knowledge about it. The guy showed the house and a garage. Considering the space of the garage and the house, we put up the application and offered extra rent to acquire the property. Little did we know what we are stepping into. As soon as we gave a notice to our previous landlord about leaving the property and close to move in date, Richard Kendalls Agent "Alice Duckett" said, we are sorry to show you the garage but we can't give you the garage. We had no option but to move in with no garage and same extra rent. Right after we moved in, the walls of the property starts to get wet. I contacted Alice Duckett from Richard Kendalls Horbury Office about the situation and she with the landlady put a blame on us and said, you guys are drying clothes in there and that is causing those wet walls. However, that wasn't true as after some time, the water starts dripping from the ceiling. Upon putting pressue and involving the council to sort this issue, we came to know that the chimney top is damaged and water is coming from a big hole. Richard Kendalls and the Landlady "Alex" knew about it and they tried hiding that by applying fresh paint. I found some proofs of it online when I searched the property address later and the pictures came out. There were clear water leaks visible on the walls of the rooms and living room. I tried reporting this issue for months as the property feels super wet and we couldn't heat the property properly. My wife was pregnant and the cold was really unbearable. The council came in, did the inspection and really did noting else other then just sending a notice to the landlady and never followed back as well. A few months gone by and we passed the winter time and then came another issue, the BEES flooding in to our living room in numbers each day. In the chimney whole, there was a huge wasps hive. I chased 2 months with Richard Kendalls to sort this issue out and they were just ignoring it. Finally after 2 months, they sent pest control unit who were not able to go on the roof and the roofer wasn't agreeing on going to the roof because of the Bees. With all those issues and worst customer care, I had to leave the property. Now I left the property, the landlady and Richard kendalls are trying to take the deposit money as there is a small paint pint they found on a cupboard. They also want to take more money out of my deposit because I had internet setup in the property "With their Concent" which they don't remember now. Such worst estate agents, who will do anything to rip you off.
