Simon Blyth

Wasn't a sale, a rental, or anything they had to help with! I mistakenly ordered an expensive package to an address I used to live at which Simon Blyth are now selling. I called Simon Blyth who went out of their way on a Sunday to meet me and help me out. Many thanks to Leslie and the team! You saved me

We sold and purchased our house via SB. Unfortunately it wasn't a straight forward sale due to our sellers but I can honestly say we couldn't have done this without Emma B and Grace B. They were always available to speak to or would call back as soon as they could, listened to our concerns and acted very well on our behalf. It became very close to the wire when we were waiting to exchange and the work Emma did on the day before and the day of was nothing short of amazing.

I don't think we would be in our new home now it if it wasn't for Emma's hard work on the 2 days. I just want to say a big thank you to Simon Blyths team (as I think I spoke to pretty much all of you) for being so understanding even when I was calling 3 times a day!

Offered on a property only to find when the surveyor went in that they had over valued it by 85k as they had marketed it against new builds in the local area. They refused to accept they were at any fault and said the vender wanted to meet us in the middle. We said we were not paying over 40k more for a house than what it was worth and they kept us hanging for a week.

We had to chase them daily for updates and they kept telling us that the vender wouldn't go below a certain price. We then found out from the vender a week later that they wanted to sell to us at the price the surveyor and had asked Simon Blyth to tell us this but they didn't and instead told the vendors that we were unreasonable encouraged them to put their house back on the market. told the vendors that they felt we were being unreasonable.

When we told the estate agent we were pulling out of the sale and why they were very rude on the phone said she didn't want to hear our complaint and put the phone down on us.

To be brutally honest the one star I have given this poor excuse for an estate agent is one star too many. My brother and I put my mums house on the market at the beginning of the year. Everything was going great with plenty of viewings. However my mum lives in a very desirable area in Holmfirth, so this wasn't a surprise. Once a buyer had been found that was as far as it went! Zero communication and false promises all the way to the end. "Emma is in a meeting, I'll get her to phone you back once she's finished her meeting" This was a standard response when I phoned for updates on the sale of my mums house. Two/three weeks later and I never got that call back.

This wasn't a one off either, this happened every time I phoned! Emmas meeting must be very long indeed! A couple of months ago when I phoned for an update, I was told that the chain had broken further down the line and had happened a couple of weeks ago! Why myself, my brother or my mum weren't informed of this situation I'll never know! We have now got to the point (end of August!) where we have taken the house off the market and my elderly mum, (who was moving to Cornwall to live closer to me, so we could look after her in her final years) is now staying in her house because her health is very poor due to the stress of all this.

On another note, Blyths recommended Holden Smith Law as good solicitors to use. These were equally incompetent in every respect. I can only recommend that you don't use either company if you want to sell your house.

We couldn't be happier with the service we received from the SB team! We would highly recommend them as they got us 12 viewings in one day, 6 offers, and it sold for over asking price! We got to know the Holmfirth office quite well whilst selling our property as we always popped in to say hi and check progress. We were always greeted with smiles. Joe did a great job of valuing our house and asking questions to make sure the evaluation was accurate. Grace and Samantha were always checking in with a happy and positive attitude and there was always someone to answer the phone and deal with our questions quickly and efficiently. Emma maintained great communication with us and our buyers throughout the entire process and made sure the solicitors moved quickly. We will certainly be going back to them next time we move!

A really professional team who were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. They really helped us through the buying and selling process with good, honest and reliable advice. I would have no hesitation in using them again.

We sold our house through Simon Blyth's Holmfirth office and had a GREAT experience. Joe was a really pleasant first contact as the person who evaluated our house, then both Grace and James were really helpful, responsive, and nice to deal with. We had lots of viewings and got an accepted offer on the table very quickly. Would highly recommend this team.

We cannot speak too highly of the service we received in the sale of Lower Millshaw. Grace Brown and her colleagues handled all the viewings and queries in a professional and speedy manner and the sale was completed in a month. Thank you! Sue & Roger

Moved to the area from S36 to buy with my partner, called a few agents to ask questions some wouldn't give me the time of day and the online agents new nothing about the area! Spoke to a lovely girl at Simon Blyth great local knowledge, added me straight onto the mailing list. I now have a few viewings in S75 over the weekend.

I have recently sold my house through Simon Blyth Holmfirth office, and relocated to North Yorkshire. I had expected with being a 'lockdown' sale that it might be tricky, but it couldn't have been further from the truth. From first meeting Joseph who impressed me with his local knowledge and clear enthusiasm about marketing my property, to the fantastic brochure photos taken by Dustin who made my house look so good I almost didn't want to move!

Special thanks to Grace who was just brilliant, always really responsive helpful and cheerful for both myself and my buyer. Thanks to you all and to everyone at the Holmfirth office everything went smoother than I could ever have imagined. Thank You!

I received a professional and efficient service, well described by a recent reviewer. The house was given a good and realistic valuation by Joseph Johnson and photographed professionally by Dustin. Many requests to view were received, and the house sold on the first day of viewing. The subsequent support received from Grace Brown in the office was excellent.

Another terrible experience with the Kirkburton office of Simon Blyth. I was in the process of buying a property (that I was told had been taken off the market as I had paid for surveys etc) when I discovered by accident that Simon Blyth were showing people around the property on the quiet - nobody had bothered to tell me after I had already spent hundreds of on surveyors.

I walked away as I could no longer trust them as agents. Prospective house sellers note : the house I was intending to buy, I would be living in by now - and it is STILL for sale as I write this, imagine how the seller feels now! I would go elsewhere. There are better / more competent agents.

We recently bought a property sold by Simon Blyth. James S was extremely helpful and professional throughout the entire process. James was very attentive and always on hand to answer our queries promptly, we could not be happier with the service he provided, he has been absolutely amazing! Also, the sellers solicitor was rather slow but James was always happy to speak to them and the vendor on our behalf whenever we needed, his efforts massively helped to speed things up and get us moved into our new house before Chistmas, which we are delighted about. Thanks so much James, we are so grateful for all your help!

The help and support we received with the purchase of our house was above and beyond what we expected. Grace was responsive, attentive and helped us smoothly and quickly complete on the house. It has been our best experience with an estate agents to date and look forward to working with them again in the future when it comes to sell our home. Thank you!

I recently sold a house through Simon Blyth and it was a great experience. Grace was awesome - very responsive, helpful and kept me fully informed (also so cheerful and friendly!). Also worth mentioning the briliant photographs that helped showcase the property.

Am very pleased with the service I have received. The staff were extremely helpful and efficient. I am delighted with every aspect!

I was looking to buy a property, twice contacted them with a list of questions for the seller, twice I was told somebody would be in touch and twice nobody called despite me chasing (I had to play detective and track down the seller myself). Then, both parties having agreed to try and progress rapidly (6 weeks), 2 weeks away from our completion date, I find my solicitor has not heard anything, I find the sellers solicitor has not heard anything and it turns out, Simon Blyth estate agents (Kirkburton) have done absolutely nothing despite being chased.

A month completely wasted which cost me a lot. It does beg the question - what exactly do they do for their money? Rightmove does all the matching of buyer and seller, after that they just seem to make things worse?

Very impressed with the service I have received from Simon Blyth with selling my house. James Sibthorp from the word go was keen to get potential buyers through my door and as a result my house sold in less than a week. He has been very professional, efficient and friendly. He has been a great help when I needed it by liaising with other estate agents and solicitors in the chain and has always kept me updated throughout the sale process. Would recommend Simon Blythe. Thank you.
