I’ve had a really positive experience with Manning Stainton so far, particularly working with Catherine.

She has been proactive, professional, and very easy to deal with throughout. What has stood out most is her communication—she regularly keeps me updated without me needing to chase, which gives me real peace of mind and confidence that everything is progressing as it should.

Selling a property can be quite stressful, especially with it now becoming vacant, but Catherine has made the process feel much more manageable. She’s also taken the time to offer thoughtful, informed advice on marketing and pricing strategy, while still taking my preferences into account.

Overall, I feel very well supported and would happily recommend both Catherine and Manning Stainton based on my experience so far.

Great service with friendly staff and always willing to go the extra mile to help.

We were managed by Phoebe at Garforth branch. She kept us regularly updated as to our house purchase. She also did a great job of chasing up our queries with the sellers.

Phoebe was our liaison with the vendor throughout the sale process. Both ourselves and the vendor were on holiday in the Caribbean for a good chunk of time making contact difficult. Despite this Phoebe kept us up to date at all times, answering our questions/queries very quickly and was professional, friendly and polite at all times. A job well done.
Many Thanks

The whole process ran very smoothly from the valuation to completion. Every member of staff I dealt with at the Garforth branch were very friendly and helpful. Phoebe my contact was great too 👍 would recommend

There were some overall issues with how Manning Stainton handled the sale of my property, but these were promptly resolved by head office.
Emma Hart really held the sale together through some very challenging moments and I hugely appreciate that! Her communication was efficient and regular, she navigated some tough situations thrown up by a third party and finally got it pushed over the line last week. Thank you, Emma!

It's taken a long time but we finally sold our house with Garforth Manning Stainton. Throughout the sale the branch team have been helpful and supportive.

Our sale was particularly complicated due to an unpleasant relationship breakdown. Emma has been absolutely amazing in getting me through the sale. She was proactive in trying to keep things on track despite various issues that came up with the sale (all on the buyers side). She worked tirelessly to ensure issues were resolved as quickly as possible when they came up and was proactive in terms of her communication with me and all parties involved.

Emma has shown so much care and compassion towards me while I have struggled through this process. I really can't thank her enough. She went way above and beyond her role.

Phoebe was our Move Manager for the sale of our property and was brilliant throughout the whole process. From the very first introduction she kept us well informed at every stage, regularly chasing updates from both sets of solicitors and relaying information between us and the buyer quickly and clearly.

When the buyer raised queries following the survey, Phoebe handled everything efficiently and kept things moving without any fuss. She was always prompt to respond and made what can be a stressful process really smooth from start to finish.

We completed on time and I couldn't have asked for a better point of contact. Would highly recommend Phoebe and the team at Manning Stainton!

Emma was friendly and helpful, keeping us up-to-date despite some difficulties in the background

Phoebe Penrose was so helpful, gave me frequent updates and was very quick to get any answers from the other party.
Phoebe made a stressful time that little bit easier. Thank you.

Catherine assisted with my house sale. Her and the team kept us consistently updated throughout the whole process, which made the sale easier to manage.

Although there were a few delays along the way, Catherine handled everything very professionally and kept things moving. Most importantly, we were able to secure a completion date. 

If there is one area for improvement, it would be being a bit more proactive at times with marketing strategies like suggesting refreshed photos to help make the property more enticing when interest slowed. That said, they were always responsive when asked and open to suggestions.

Overall, a reliable and supportive team at mannings. Catherine managed the sale well and stayed on top of everything throughout which took the stress out of the process. Thank you! 

Manning Stainton, and in particular Phoebe Penrose, were great during our house purchase. We had some issues further up the chain which meant quite a long process but Phoebe kept us up to date throughout and chased the chain for progress and updates. Thanks for finally helping us get over the line!

We have just moved properties with Manning Stainton. Our move manager Emma Hart , was excellent in what was a difficult and demanding chain.

Emma always kept us informed and I can honestly say without her efforts, I doubt we would be in our new house now.

Emma put in lots of effort, chasing solicitors the buyers estate agents ensuring everyone was kept informed.

I would certainly recommend Manning Stainton, in particular, if you’re lucky enough to have Emma helping you move.

Manning Stainton was really good from start to finish. Phoebe was really helpful, kept us informed along the way and helped with all our queries. Great experience would highly recommend.

The ManningStainton team and especially Emma guided us, supported us and ultimately got what turned out to be a move full of complexity over the line.
The moment the completion went through while we sat in the Garforth branch with Emma and Teresa was like scoring the winning goal at Wembley, we all shrieked, hugged and cried as if with the best of friends.
Can’t thank you all enough

I really don’t know where to start. After 10 months of sale, no sale, sale, no sale, sale,( you get the picture). We finally completed the sale of our property.
The staff at Manning Stainton were excellent, particularly one Emma Hart, who thought this whole drawn out episode kept me and the wife fairly sane. She kept us up to date on every trial and tribulation that appeared and navigated the whole process for us with calm professionalism. She is without a doubt the brightest of stars. We really cannot thank her enough. Emma you have restored our faith in estate agents and when we look to buy, you will be our first port of call.

Emma H at the Garforth branch has been a please to deal with throughout our purchase. We had a number of bumps in the roads that were outside of our control, but her patience, understanding and willingness to go over and above was always appreciated. Thank you!!

Catherine at Manning Stainton was excellent with us. She was professional from the outset, efficient with communicating viewings or offers on our property and kept us in the loop with next steps and throughout the period of us having our property up for sale. Would definitely come back

5* Catherine Downs went above and beyond for us during the stressful time of our house move & made it a lot more manageable for us. She helped us chase solicitors ect thank you!

I had a great experience selling my property with Manning Stainton. Catherine and the wider team communicated clearly throughout and were always helpful and responsive. The sale went through smoothly with no issues, making the whole process straightforward and stress-free. I’d happily recommend them.
