Al is passionate about houses. He combines this passion with his background as a creative and this further enhanced by being affable, eminently approachable and a desire to do a good job for you the client. I can’t recommend him highly enough

Al was very accommodating when it came to arranging the viewing appointment. He was very polite, courteous and also very well-versed in the finer details pertaining to the property in question. I’d have no reluctance in using Als services for any future sale of my properties.

Reply from John Payne: Thanks so much for your kind words, Saddiqa. I hope that you and your partner find your perfect home very soon, and if I can help in any way at all, then you know where I am!

I recently dealt with Manning Stainton and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the initial valuation by Ben through to completion, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. Ben provided clear advice on pricing and marketing strategy, which resulted in strong interest and a quick sale. Communication was consistent throughout — I was kept updated at every stage, and any questions I had were answered promptly and thoroughly by Briony and the team. What really stood out was their attention to detail and proactive approach. They handled viewings efficiently, provided helpful feedback from potential buyers, and managed negotiations with confidence and transparency. Buying and selling property can be stressful, but they made the entire process feel smooth and well-managed. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy estate agent. Thank you to Ben, Briony, Debbie and the rest of the team.

Reply from John Payne: Thank you for such detailed feedback, Christine. Glad you felt the whole process was smooth, well managed and clearly communicated from start to finish. We truly appreciate the recommendation - sending all the best for your next chapter!

Ellie Garside was wonderful with managing the selling of our property, we didn't have to worry too much about viewings like we did when we listed with another EA. We started getting viewings from the second day we listed and there was no without at least 2 viewings till we sold. We were even away for over a month and she and her team did the viewings for us. All through we had no worries. Thank you Ellie and the team.

Reply from John Payne: Thank you Oyeku for such kind feedback. Glad you felt everything was handled smoothly, especially while you were away, and that viewings stayed consistent throughout. All the very best!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Benjamin and I couldn’t be more impressed with the level of service that he provided. From start to finish he demonstrated exceptional professionalism, market knowledge, and clear communication. What really stood out was his responsiveness and proactive approach — I was always kept informed, and any questions I had were handled quickly and thoroughly. I would not hesitate to recommend Benjamin and the team at Manning Stainton. Thank you again for such outstanding service.

Reply from John Payne: Thank you Dave for such thoughtful feedback. It’s great to hear the service felt proactive, informative and well communicated throughout. We truly value your recommendation and send our best for what’s ahead.

We had a viewing that ended up being a bulk viewing on Sunday with the lovely Mel. She was very helpful, informative and any questions she didn't have the answers for she made a note to ask. Despite there being quite a few people looking we didn't lack for her attention or feelings under serviced and she made sure to include everyone around when giving out information.

Reply from John Payne: Thanks for the positive review, Fran! Great to hear the viewing felt well organised and attentive, even with a busy group. Wishing you well.
