Brimelow really impressed us at the beginning. Initially, they gave us a highly impressive customer experience and an ambitious valuation supported by lots of evidence of local success. Eddie the owner visited the house for the video and photography. They even offer an umbrella and ask you what you like to drink (perhaps for a completion tipple?). Before We continue. We are currently living with a pandemic and the property market has been unpredictable. We imagine there were some ‘teething issues’ establishing a working from home system. JP Brimelow did enable us to sell our house and we have moved to a dream home. Danny from JP Brimelow did work hard to get us a result . If we sell again, we would want a more personable approach with a smaller agency. We did not feel JP Brimelow put much effort into selling our property other than a pretty awesome video. They seemed to rely on the house selling itself at a premium price. This tactic frankly didn’t work and as sellers, we had to drive them to make decisions. Their advice was often very conflicting and when we eventually decided to reduce the price the strategy they advised did not work. Some of the viewing feedback was disappointing as there were questions from potentially interested viewers, that could have been easily answered if the agents had put any time or effort into learning about the property, which resulted in fewer interested parties. There were several appointments cancelled which we were never informed about- which was frustrating after spending time cleaning the property and leaving the house for the day. The phone line was extremely hard to get through on, no doubt resulting in missed opportunities. At one point we complained to Eddie personally, who did take it seriously but this was too late and didn’t help us get anywhere near their original valuation or buy back any of the time required to capitalise on the strategy they had enacted. We were not particularly impressed either with sales progression, the phone was never answered (emails were however answered fairly quickly) and the vast majority of progression happened through us talking to the buyers directly and our respective solicitors. Maybe JP Brimelow were extremely busy at the time we were selling because of the pandemic? That is totally excusable. But being experts in the local property market and getting our sale so wrong is a little harder to understand. JP Brimelow failed to enact their strategy and deliver on their promises and we completed the process feeling that we were quite far down the priority list (even though our sale was a very reasonable commission). We didn't even get the umbrella and tipple, if a tipple was ever on the cards? (If it wasn't - it's a very strange question to have on the paperwork...).

They overpriced the house, we put the house on the market with the value THEY gave us only to be told a few weeks later to drop the price by £25k. They couldn't understand my disappointment when I told them it was THEM who told us it was …

Our work together started well but not after long we discovered the lack of professionalism of the team. I won’t delve into specifics, as it would only waste more time—just like my entire experience with them. Proceed with caution. …

Disappointing and Unprofessional Service I recently enquired about a property with JP & Brimelow and was extremely …

I wouldn't recommend JP Brimlow in Chorlton. I found them to be unprofessional and for a paid service -  I have genuinely never had such a poor experience with an estate agent. …

We were strongly advised to go with a buyer's offer, because her finances were incredibly secure. A completion date was agreed, however the buyer didn't have a mortgage in place. The sale was agreed in February and after delays and then the completion date falling through we moved at the end of August. During this time we had limited communication, we had to continuously chase for updates. We received more information from our vendor’s sale team. We were forwarded our buyers emails, instead of any professional reassurance - our buyer was clearly very stressed, we could have been shielded from this, as we also felt stressed. We complained twice - the first time Danny replied telling us to back off, a rude and unprofessional response in the circumstances. A second email to Danny and Eddie was ignored - which just said it all at the time. They have a complaints procedure which the management doesn't follow. We were moving out of Manchester with a school age child - to not have a sense of this sale being urgently pushed through (we didn't) caused lots of problems. At one point our sellers were advised to pull out due to the delay and lack of clarity, but even their estate agent couldn't get through to anyone and she was stonewalled. I'm surprised by this, looking at all the good reviews and I think this is a huge shame. I get the feeling things are going well in the sale of your home - these guys are great to work with and will highly complement themselves on this. You can feel the defensiveness or the sheer lack of response when you call out unprofessionalism. You are not faced with a customer first approach if you are trying to complain. Some of what happened with the sale couldn't have been prevented - buying a house in this country is difficult. Although I'm not sure how a completion date can be agreed with all parties without all the proper financial checks. But for an agency that claims to be enthusiastic, who the experts and who put the customer first, I didn't experience this, maybe if I was selling a more expensive house, I would have received the top tier service. I regret choosing them - please look at other agents when selling your house.

Had a really strange interaction with someone called Ryan in the chorlton branch a few months back. We let him know that we lived in London and told him that we'd be getting the train up for viewings (just in casual conversation) and he …
