Just purchased our first home through Peter Anthony and everything went as smoothly as we could have hoped for. Jamie Dowd was brilliant at keeping us updated and communicating on our behalf with the seller - Thanks again for all your help!

Can't thank Jamie and Tom enough for their understanding and empathy in dealing with the sale of my parents home. Whenever I asked a question Jamie would respond, even if he didn't know the answer, just to let me know he'd find out. He got back to me even if it was out of normal working hours, absolutely couldn't have asked for better customer service. Honest, helpful and empathetic. I would highly recommend to anyone, not just your normal stereotypical agency. Best of luck for the future to you all.

Avoid them! Very bad service! Treat human as a toy! I saw their advertisement for selling a property on Saturday, give them phone call asking for viewing. They said they haven't confirmed the date with vender yet, call them back on Monday. I called them again on Monday, told me exactly same thing, asking me to call them back again on Tuesday. I called them again on Tuesday, told me it has been fully booked, they can't do anything. The worst agency I have ever met.

We were lucky to have Jamie Dowd as our estate agent this past year. Jamie was enthusiastic, friendly and informative from the very start of the process, until the very end. Peter Anthony were great, but Jamie particularly was brilliant.

I have used Peter Anthony to both buy, and sell my property. Tom Simper oversaw my recent sale of my property, and I can not recommend him and Peter Anthony enough. He was professional, knowledgeable and always responsive to our questions and queries. I would definitely use again in the future. Thank you Peter Anthony for your great service.

From taking the photos to progressing the sale, Jamie and Tom worked hard to keep our sale on track and to complete by the end of June 2021. We were kept informed every step of the way and they were both proactive in dealing with solicitors to keep things moving. Happy to recommend them.

Critical: Professionalism Sales Negotiatior, Cameron Williams was extremely rude on the phone. Needs a few lessons on how to speak to clients respectfully. As a result I would not purchase with them.

I have used Peter Anthony twice now, and both experiences have been fantastic. During the recent sale of my house, Jamie Dowd provided excellent personal service throughout and was genuinely invested in achieving a successful outcome. He went above and beyond on moving day, which I really appreciated. I recommend Peter Anthony without hesitation if you are thinking about selling your property.

We completed the purchase of our new home with Peter Anthony at the end of March this year. With the added stress of the stamp duty holiday deadline ending it was a rush to get the purchase over the line as quickly as possible. Jamie from the Levenshulme office was fantastic from the get go. Jamie helped move things along quickly and smoothly, he made sure that we kept up regular communication between ourselves and the seller so that we were always up to date with the progression of the sale. Jamie was always friendly and professional and we'd highly recommend him to anyone considering services from this agent. 5 Stars!

Thanks to the help of Jamie at Peter Anthony, he made buying our first home as simple and stress free as possible. Jamie was extremely helpful and was always available whenever we had a query or required any further viewings. We very much recommend Jamie if you're considering buying or selling property as he was always honest, friendly and very personable.

Again delighted with the continuing support I've received from Peter Anthonyin the letting and managing of our property on Bramhall Lane. Denise has been very helpful in recruiting a new tenant for a vacancy in one of our flats and has done so very quickly thereby minimising the down time between tenancies.

We would highly recommend Rachel at Peter Anthony. We are really satisfied with the service she provided as she helped us to buy our first home in a difficult and competitive market. Rachel is incredibly professional but also friendly, approachable and easy to get in touch with. She kept us updated throughout the whole process and went above and beyond the call-of-duty to ensure we got what we wanted and understood the process; from having our offer accepted right up until we exchanged and completed. When she says shell do something shell do it and make sure youre informed as soon as possible. If we ever sell the house in the future, Rachel is the first person well call! Thank you

We dealt with four estate agents in the area and Rachel from Peter Anthony provided us with the best service. She was a fountain of local knowledge and nothing was too much trouble. Can't recommend them enough.

I have used Peter Anthony Estates for a couple of years as a landlord. They are reliable and efficient and I would not hesitate to recommend their service to others to others. They market their properties well and are very pro-active.

It was the first property we in Manchester as we were relocating from Scotland and wanted to make sure that we don't make any hasty descions. From day one Adam Simms has been a thorough professional. It was never too much for him with our millions of questions. He made the whole process very easy for us without having to worry about lengthy paper work. We saw the property thrice before we moved in and the staff in their office would always make last minute viewing arrangements for us. We feel so lucky to find the right letting agency and the right house. Thank you to everyone at Peter Anthony (Levenshulme) especially Adam Simms. Keep up the good work.
Nikki
I have just purchased a house from Peter Anthony and the service from Gill was exceptional. She has found another property for me and we hope to be finalising purchase in the next few months. I wish all my business dealings were as smooth as dealing with Gill. Thanks for everything and keep up the great work Gill!
Emma Willmer
Very good agents - Look out especially for the dynamic and friendly and professional Gill Bell. She remembered me some time after I had viewed a house with her and got back to me, basically with my perfect house. I move in today! Thanks Gill.
Mark Taylor
Just completed sale with Pad4U after dreadful experience with Edward Mellor. Gill you were fantastic, so helpful. Can't recommend highly enough.
Jane Jackson
Buying a property can be an emotionally draining experience but if done through a good agent it takes all the stress away. This is why we were fortunate to have our purchase handled by James at Pad4U. James was helpful, always obliging and put himself out to chase through obstacles which arose at the final stage and thus prevented us incurring a costly deadline imposed increase to the purchase price.
He was also able to recommend a list of good solicitors one of which we chose with confidence and were not proved wrong. We would certainly buy through James and Pad4U again and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone for buying, selling or renting a property.
