Just awful - please avoid this estate agent. Apply pressure tactics, lie about property, pressure buyers, care only about themselves. AVOID ALL WHITEGATES!!

We’re very sorry to read this review, as it does not reflect the standards or values, we uphold at Whitegates West Derby. After thoroughly checking our database, we cannot trace you as a client of our branch. It’s important to note that all Whitegates offices operate under individual franchise licenses, and we have proudly served the West Derby community under the same ownership for over 30 years without receiving complaints of this nature. We would appreciate the opportunity to clarify and resolve any concerns. If you could contact us directly with more details, we will do our best to identify the correct branch involved and help address the issue promptly. Our team has helped thousands of buyers and sellers over the years, and we are committed to maintaining trust, transparency, and professionalism throughout every transaction Kind regards Ross Atkinson

Won't allow you to view unless you book an appointment with their mortgage advisor I wouldn't recommend anyone to sell through them as this is really bad practice. I've bought / sold many properties as an investor and rarely encountered this tactic This was for an empty property that has been on the market for sometime with this agent and has had a a price reduction due to no sale. Not surprised if people cannot view it! I wonder if the vendor is aware!!!

Thank you for your feedback, though we are genuinely confused by your review. After carefully checking our records, we are unable to locate any details matching your experience. As a long-established, family-run franchise with over 30 years of trusted service in the local area, we take comments like this very seriously. It is not our policy to require buyers to use our mortgage advisors. However, in line with our duty of care to both our clients and sellers, we do ask all prospective viewers to provide a valid Mortgage in Principle. This is a standard industry practice and helps ensure that viewings are meaningful and productive for everyone involved particularly our vendors, who rightly expect qualified interest. If a viewer doesn’t have an MIP, we are happy to assist them in obtaining one through independent advisors we never insist on using a specific provider. It is also important to note that each branch of our wider franchise network operates independently, so it's possible you may have interacted with another office under the same brand. We would welcome the opportunity to clarify this with you directly, and we remain committed to fair and transparent service for all parties. Kind regards, Ross Atkinson

If I could give 0 stars I would. I cannot stress to you, how terrible the letting agents are. In my experience: consistently rude, unhelpful and very clearly do not care about the tenants. They were very happy to allow my sister to live in a mould and slug infested home for years on end with little to no intervention or help. The only suggestion was to increase ventilation (which we were doing anyway). They should be ashamed.

don't call them, they are very slow, they are not professional, I wanted to rent a commercial space from them, they placed me from one to another, emails sent so that I can see a commercial space with appointments in a few weeks, seriously? so much trouble to see a space with the potential to rent it and they did nothing

Reply from agent

We want to clarify that we do not handle commercial properties, and our services are focused exclusively on residential properties. We believe there may have been some confusion in your inquiry. If you could kindly remove or update your review to reflect this, it would be greatly appreciated. We recommend reaching out to a commercial real estate agency for your needs. Thank you for your understanding.

Brilliant company. They sold my personal information after I got an email from them where I could get a ‘free online evaluation of my home.’ Stupidly I thought I’d have a look and put in my phone and email. I’ve since been getting on average 6 spam calls per day and a ton of spam emails. Thanks Whitegates. FYI the evaluation was way off (unsurprisingly)

Reply from agent

Please be assured that Whitegates does not sell personal information. If we receive a lead, our policy is to contact individuals no more than three times over three days if there is no answer. After that, we delete the contact details from our system. You can only be given an accurate valuation if one of the valuers in branch comes out to see the property in person. Unfortunately prices from the online valuation tool is based on land registry sold prices and is an estimate. If you have any further questions or would like to discuss this matter, please feel free to contact us directly.

The only real estate company that works only week days, 9 to 5. Guess what? People who have money are working the same hours. Would be a genial idea to offer weekend viewing appointments, dont you think??

"Thank you for your feedback, however am not sure you have put it on the correct estate agents page. We always strive to accommodate our clients' schedules, and we regularly offer viewings on Saturdays and outside of standard business hours. It seems there may have been some confusion, as we do everything we can to ensure convenient appointments for everyone. Please feel free to contact us directly, and we’d be happy to arrange a time that works best for you. We appreciate your input and are always here to help!"

At our Whitegates West Derby Branch we have a team of staff with over 60 years Estate Agency experience who are pleased to offer help and advice on the Purchase, Sale or Letting of your home. However, we are more than aware that some clients cannot always take time out to visit the office in person, which is why phone calls and e-mails are equally as important as personal visits. <p> Gail Loller, the Franchisee and originally from the area, knows how important her local knowledge is and believes it to be a major factor in helping her and the team to build a Market Leading Branch within the area. <p> Gail's motto has always been 'To aim to treat all Staff and Customers how she would like to be treated herself, at all times'. This she has always implemented, gaining a first rate reputation and recognition from her peers.
