Having just completed the sale of my property I can not thank Jim Atherton (and his team) enough for the services offered from the initial visit to my house right up to and beyond the completion of the sale. If you are thinking of placing your house on the market, in my opinion, I would 100% recommend Athertons. The sale was by no means a 'straight forward' one with a few bumps in the road, but Jim Atherton was always on hand to guide me through the process and offer his expertise in a professional but personable manner - this was the same for the other members of staff at Athertons. In short, if I decide to sell in the future, Athertons will be my go to! .. Read more
We recently purchased a property through Atherton's. Throughout the whole process John, Tom and Helen were always on hand to give us regular updates reference the purchase and we were never hanging around waiting for responses to emails or enquiries. The whole team communicated with us effectively from start to finish and they handled the purchase brilliantly, especially with the additional pressure of the SDLT holiday. We would 100% recommend Atherton's to anybody wanting to sell or purchase a property... Read more
We bought a property through Athertons and what a great service we received throughout the process! The staff were all brilliant and attentive. Helen, Tom, Jim, Simon and all! They were all friendly and down to earth in a way which is sometimes rare these days! We can not recommend them enough! A big thank you from John and Cathy for making our move less stressful and having a cheerful voice at the end of the phone. 😀😀.. Read more
What a brilliant choice we made when selecting Athertons,Whalle to act for us in the sale of our property. They were not our cheapest option but certainly demonstrated through out the process why they were worth that little extra. Nothing was too much trouble for Simon and the team, always on hand with regular updates and feedback. They handled the sale brilliantly and delivered everything that they promised. Thanks again guys... Read more
Earlier this year I bought a property through Athertons - a great company to deal with. No hanging around for days to receive answers to calls/emails - response times are impressive. I mainly dealt with Simon Kerins - he was mustard! Staff are friendly, polite, attentive and efficient. What more could you ask for? I would definitely recommend Athertons... Read more
We have recently purchased a property in Pleasington where Athertons were the selling acting on behalf of the vendors rather than ourselves. However due to a very protracted period from agreeing the purchase to completion as a result of a chain of some seven properties we finally completed earlier this month. We have to say that in spite of Simon Kerrins and his team not being instructed by us they have been extremely helpful pleasant and professional throughout the process and have managed to keep their own clients calm and patient throughout. I would not hesitate to recommend anyone using Athertons for the sale or purchase of properties anywhere in the Blackburn and Ribble valley areas Gwynne Furlong FRICS.. Read more
We employed Atherton’s to market and sell a cottage which had belonged to a much-loved, deceased relative. The valuation and marketing of the property were professionally managed in a descriptive style through excellent photography and prose. In the event, the sale proved difficult because of problems created by the prospective buyer. In spite of the fact that the buyer had not made use of Atherton’s excellent service, the staff gave up their valuable time in sorting out a range of issues, and ultimately the sale was concluded. The approach of all the staff was very professional, efficient and effective. When we visited the Whalley office, we were always made welcome, and came away feeling that progress had been made. Without their assistance and encouragement we may well have pulled out of the sale. We thoroughly recommend Atherton’s to anyone with property to buy or sell – professional, friendly, welcoming, supportive, efficient and effective. Ten out of ten recommendation... Read more
Athertons guided me through what was a very difficult time for me personally. House buying and selling is always a very stressful time and I am very grateful to the team at Athertons, especially Helen, for their sympathetic help and guidance... Read more
Due to the really quite dreadful service from our buyers solicitors, I relied on Athertons so much to be proactive in he whole extended process. Jim was continually there to support me, and put the required pressure not just on our buyers solicitor, but also on the one further up the chain. I'm sure normally such efforts aren't necessary (nor they should be) but they certainly were in this case. On the odd occasian I couldn' reach Jim, Tom and Laura were always helpful and ready to step in to assist. So many thanks needed. I'm sure our buyers were also appreciative of the active role Jim played in getting them into their new home... Read more
Everyone knows what a roller coaster buying and selling a property can be. However, at Athertons their marketing strategy and communication with clients is first class. John , Simon and the rest of the team are all committed to their clients needs at every stage of the process. Well done and thanks!.. Read more
