No-one turned up to the viewing

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 Ossett branch.

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!!

Professional, Personal, Efficient Team

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.

Outstanding support- Karen Marijewko

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.

Leasehold sale

As my property was leasehold and two others in the chain were also leasehold, it was a very long-winded process however, both Catherine & Shireen were always on hand to help and offer their support. Despite endless hurdles they were as committed as I was to ensure the sale of my apartment went through. Many thanks to you both for helping me finalise the sale, allowing me to buy my new dream home 🤗

I wish there was an option for no stars! UTTERLY DISGUSTING. The way i have been treated is unbelievable, i have been made to feel like all they are bothered about is the money. Guilt tripping into bringing a completion day forward even though ive made it clear this is not possible for me. Every staff member i have spoke to is rude and i think they need a long long training day on how to interact with people. NOT GOOD ENOUGH, SHUT THIS COMPANY DOWN!
