John Clark, Featherstone.,

Buying and selling property is complicated and sometimes tricky to negotiate. We felt throughout that we always had the full support of the Pennine Ways team, not only on the business side, but also in the more human aspects of the process. We always appreciated your calm and friendly approach and are very glad that we chose you to market our property.

We have just moved into our own home after renting through Pennine for 3 years and can’t recommend them enough. Always there to address any issues, nothing was too much trouble and couldn’t be more helpful. Thank you!

Mr and Mrs Handley.

Mr and Mrs Handley.,

I am pleased to say that Pennine Ways have recently sold a property for me in only 3 months! The sale was handled very well by Millie Wood and all the staff were very professional and helpful. I would definitely recommend Pennine Ways for a successful outcome when selling property in this area.

Fiona Gifford, Garrigill.

Fiona Gifford,
It’s been a bit of a strange week, Mam’s house sale went through, we moved in 54 years ago and were the first and only family to live there, until now, I have such great memories of growing up on Burn Close and being a Comb Hiller. I hope the new owners enjoy being there as much as we did.
I really want to give a massive shout out to Lois Sloan and all the staff at Pennine Ways Estate Agency for all their help and professionalism, they made this journey easy for us.

Recently used Pennine ways to sell a property at auction. On first meeting Jeremy he was knowledgeable and very helpful. Everything was clear and communication was first class.
It was totally hassle free from start to finish, they worked amazingly with the solicitor.
The girls in the office were always helpful and responded quickly to any queries.
I have to say I feel Jeremy went above and beyond as this was quite a unique case.
Thank you so much for taking away the stress of the sale, it was such an easy process which I never would have believed possible.

For the last four years or so we have used Pennine Ways to market our cottage as a holiday let, having seen and purchased our Weardale home originally through them. At all times, we have found the team truly professional, both pro-active and responsive, accessible, friendly and very supportive. We would have no hesitation in recommending Pennine Ways or Pennine Holiday Cottages to anyone looking to buy/sell/let or rent. Thank you all for being such a great team. It’s been so very reassuring to have you alongside us.

I can’t speak highly enough of Davina and the support she has given me as a landlord.

From the very beginning, she has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. She is always friendly, approachable, and genuinely cares about providing the best possible service. Nothing ever seems too much trouble, and she consistently goes above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly.

What I appreciate most is her excellent communication. Davina keeps me updated, responds quickly to any queries, and always takes the time to explain things clearly. Knowing that she is looking after matters gives me complete confidence and real peace of mind.

In an industry where trust and reliability are so important, Davina stands out. Her professionalism, dedication, and positive attitude make a huge difference, and she is a credit to the estate agency. It is rare to find someone who combines such efficiency with such a genuinely caring and personable approach.
