I have used this agency in Holmfirth on several occasions, both as a vendor and purchaser. Rob and team are the absolute go-to Agency as far as I am concerned, due to the quality of advice and attention to detail. Nothing is too much trouble and they genuinely care about my property needs and provided great insight in to the market. Rob was happy to provide advice even before any potential instruction and during a property refurbishment enabled me to maximise resale by providing property advice on what purchasers would want. Highly recommended.

I recently sold my house through Wm Sykes and although I was out of the country throughout the process, the whole thing was managed swiftly and efficiently. The sales team were wonderful - friendly, professional and they made the experience a positive and productive one. An offer was received within days of the property being advertised and last week we completed on the sale. Fantastic service from a very knowledgeable and professional team. If you want to deal with great people who get results - look no further!

Fantastic team from beginning to end. Professional yet friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Guided throughout from the listing to the sale and move. Can't speak highly enough for their ongoing support, in particular Jordan who made the experience so much better by going above and beyond to help me. Thanks a million

Really horrible underhanded behaviour from WMsykes @Slaithwaite. I first sent a couple of emails regarding a property and copied myself in on all emails to make sure the old trick of (we never received your email) and I had a response the first time when I wanted to make an offer! But was completely ignored because they wanted to please a developer who more than likely paid less.
I'm sure I will get a miserable excuse but when you treat a genuine cash buyer like trash then you show your true colours! I had property to sell and would never trust them as they treat potential buyers horribly and don't realise that they affect people's life's and selling to friends is poor behaviour.

Really unhappy with Slaithwaite. I had shown interest in a house and sent an email with an offer asking for someone to get back to me. I copied others in on my email and the email was delivered to them but WMS just didn't even bother to get back to me. I have experienced this with them before and have spoken to others in the area who have also said that they simply got ignored if another buyer shows up.
Why on earth you would purposely ignore buyers is insane! I guess it's a matter of every 1 counts when your WMS and I'm a Cash buyer. Not really good customer service so I would definitely stick with a more responsible agent.

We recently bought our first home through Wm Sykes and couldn't fault their service and support throughout the whole process. Being first time buyers, buying a house can be quite daunting but the team were there for us every step of the way and we can't thank them enough! Especially Kay who went above and beyond for us - thank you.

The staff have been really great, helpful and cheery with us throughout whilst sorting out renting a property. Gemma and John are both super helpful and professional and Georgia who showed us around the property twice was lovely and understanding. Everyone was very accommodating to us on a tight time scale and really excited to move in this weekend. Thanks so much chaps.
