Cowell & Norford John & Danielle have been great all through out the process of selling my house and buying. They have kept me up to date with everything including viewings and have helped me looking for a house to move into, although I didn't buy through Cowell-norford they regularly sent me homes that matched my search criteria and helped in every way they could.

John Lally was very informative when showing us round the property, he was quick and efficient in handling any queries and pushed through our offer / purchase very quickly.

We have just completed the sale of my sisters house using lasting power of attorney, which is very difficult at the best of times. Cowell and Norford estate agents have been absolutely fantastic from initial contact up to completion in approximately 6 weeks. I must especially mention Dominique, my contact, at Cowell and Norford who has been excellent in concluding the sale.

She has been very professional but compassionate in our dealings at this difficult time. I cannot praise her highly enough and I would have no hesitation in using Cowell and Norford in the future, or recommending them to any buyers or sellers. Mr Rod McDonald

Cannot fault this agency. Everyone i spoke to was friendly and efficient. Hayley in particular, from the Milnrow office, was an absolute godsend. She kept in touch throughout. Gave me unbiased sound advice, reassured me at every turn and went above and beyond when the time came to complete. I genuinely feel that without her this would have been a much more stressful experience.

Sold my house and they was great. Kept in touch with me all the time, they chased my solicitor for information. Friendly and knowledge team, everything went really smooth and provided great communication between me and the buyer about everything. I also bought my house through them 20 years ago which was a smooth experience so went back to sell and can not say how smooth everything went. Great team.

We have always dealt with Cowell and Norford where possible and they have handled both purchases and sales of property for us. They have shown dedication and integrity and Dannielle always goes above and beyond making sure we are comfortable at every stage and is constantly updating us. We haven't had this experience with other estate agents, which is why we will give such a positive recommendation for Dannielle and the team at Cowell and Norford.

Both Danielle and Johnny were very professional and helpful during the process of purchasing our new home. They both returned my calls and e-mails when contacted and helped us to liaise with the owner of the property we were buying to ensure the process went as smoothly as possible. Within the last week before we were due to move, Johnny took over as our contact as Danielle was on holiday.

Without his help and support I do not think the house sale would have gone through before the end of stamp duty holiday. He went above and beyond to ensure it happened by liaising with the sellers solicitor and feeding back to ourselves. A big thank you to them both and the rest of the team. We are very happy in our new home.

Especially Hayley who was so helpful and personable she went above and beyond her role and is an absolute credit to the business. From now on we will use this business purely because of the service we received from Hayley. Professional, supportive, courteous, helpful and great communication from Hayley.

She took the stress out of moving and was always there to help if needed no matter what. Hayley should commended for her job she is definitely one in a million. A big Thank you from Mr & Mrs Gillespie

Great Service. I got recommended Cowell Norford by a friend and even though the property I was selling wasn't local I was reluctant to start with. I'm so glad I did as Danielle made this such a quick and easy sale. (it had been on the market a long time with a local estate agent) The friendly and professional approach worked for me as the seller and for the buyer. Thanks Again

Danielle and the team at Cowell Norford made the process of selling my parent's house a very straightforward affair, from having the valuation done to handing over the keys on completion day. We were given a realistic price range and got an offer in just a few weeks. One of the team came out to all of the viewings, and were always on time and well organised.

Any queries I had were quickly dealt with. I have no hesitation recommending the team to anyone in need of their services and would definitely use them should my partner and I decide to move house.

I'd recommend Danielle & Cowell norford to anybody wanting to make a move. From our first appointment right through she's been there to support us. After a bad experience with someone else, we were nervous about the process. Danielle put us at ease and delivered on everything promised. Thanks so much for your help!

Fantastic service from Lee, they really do go above and beyond, replying to emails at 11.30pm and calls on Sunday. Lee pushed the sale through, I really don't think it would have gone through if not for him. Fantastic I would not hesitate to recommend, sold several houses and Cowell Norford are by far the best I have used, they know everything about Rochdale.

Cowell Norford is handling the sale of my house and they couldn't have made the experience any better for me, they are amazing and always there if I needed any help. Selling the house was a stressful decision but a big thanks to Danielle, Lee and the team for totally taking the stress away from us. They have managed to sell my house within weeks, kept us updated at all times and made the process hassle free. Would highly recommend Cowell Norford.

We have recently listed our house with Cowell Norford and viewed/put an offer in on another house also listed with them. We have primarily dealt with Danielle and she has been amazing. Incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and genuinely committed to getting us the best price for our house but also finding our perfect forever home. Nothing has been too. much trouble for Danielle and she has been friendly and attentive throughout all of our dealings.

We have also spoken with a number of other members of staff at Cowell Norford and every one of them has been equally helpful and friendly. The customer service we have received has been fantastic and we look forward to this continuing as we progress with them.

Absolutely fantastic service from start to completion. Lee Whitehead dealt with all our questions promptly and always returned calls and emails. We also used their recommended Mortgage Advisor, Stephen Tyrer, and really cannot praise him enough. Stephen went above and beyond to find us our perfect lender.

Without a shadow of doubt this team go above and beyond the call of duty! From day one every member of staff who has been involved have been consistently professional, honest and reliable. The sale of my house was a difficult and long drawn out process due to the poor performance of my buyer's solicitor. Cowell and Norford stepped up time and time. again to help ease the frustration for myself and my buyer.

I would like to give special thanks to Lee who has been amazing, his patience, professionalism, tenacity and willingness to go out of his way for months on end, he is an absolute credit to this team. I would highly recommend Cowell and Norford to anyone wishing to buy, sell or rent because they knock the spots off any other agent I've used over the years in Rochdale and are worth every penny of their commission. Thank you and good luck with future business. Andrea xx
