Laura and the team did an amazing job on my very difficult transaction and kept it all together! Thank you so much and look forward to working with you again soon!
The whole team gave excellent service and regular communication throughout the entire process. Everyone was polite, friendly and extremely helpful, especially when there were hiccups further down the chain.
Megan and Matt were our main contacts and they both went above and beyond to deliver a first class service.
The Slaithwaite Ryder and Dutton branch are a lovely bunch of people that helped us in the purchase of our first home. Especially Martha, who helped us with any questions we had, gave us regular updates and reassured us with completely, with us being first time buyers, we were definitely in the right hands. On key collection day, Martha was super organised so we were able to get the keys first thing, which we really appreciated too. We would definitely recommend Martha and the team to anyone. Thank you again!
I’m so glad I chose Ryder and Dutton to sell my house. They were brilliant from start to finish. Fran was lovely and friendly and did a great job of showing the house at its best. It sold in 5 days. Ada then took over with dealing with the sale right through to completion which went really smooth and stress free. Ada was brilliant and so helpful and friendly. She kept me updated regularly with any new information. The whole process took less than 3 months. I would definitely go to Ryder and Dutton again and would highly recommend.
Very good service during the whole tenancy process. I want to say a big thank you to Sarah Keegan and Emma Cooper for the help and patience that they put into to make things go ahead smoothly. I do recommend Ryder&Dutton to everyone who needs to move!
Ryder and Dutton slaithwaite, Huddersfield helped us no end when it came to selling our property, from start to finish nothing was too much trouble, our dedicated member of the team was Martha and we couldn’t have done without her, nothing was too much trouble, any question big or small was always answered promptly and professionally. We won’t be moving again anytime soon as Martha helped us find our dream home but anyone who is thinking of doing it, make sure you use Ryder and Dutton!!
We had the pleasure of dealing with Ada Grundy for the purchase of our house. As first time buyers the process can be daunting but Ada’s communication and professionalism throughout has been second to none! Guiding us and updating us every step of the way, right through to completion! We had previously had a property purchase fallen through with a different agency, who were the main reason for its collapse due to poor communication. Ryder and Dutton and Ada in particular were the complete opposite and always had time for us. Thank you for all your help!!
They Heywood office is absolutely wonderful. They are super helpful when it comes to any enquiries you could possibly have. The person i dealt with during my purchase was Ewan McMurdo and he was a fantastic, super knowledgeable about each stage of the process and kept myself always up to date with what was happening. Would highly recommend .
Thank you to Geraldine Marsden who worked tirelessly to keep us all informed and to keep pushing the transaction through. Also to those at Ryder& Dutton through this stressful time.
Firstly R&D seem to be the only people to use on my lane in Ashton. Their signs appear like dominoes from the view at the bridge and downwards, all with sold steadily being nailed on one after the other. Kirsten responded well, she gave a special personal touch as to what was actually happening and installed confidence in me. Robyn also for last minute details and info needed on completion day to help my buyer settle in. They really are the premier agents to use, ask for Kirsten though as she is honest as the day is long and never once fails to tell you what is going on every step of the way. I was in the Congo working so I needed that extra bit of service, needing to rely on her more heavily than a normal client. Her first words were, 'its lovely this flat, we will sell this in minutes', and guess what - she did!
Big thank to all the staff at Ryder and Dutton Robyn Robert’s took care of our sale very helpful and professional.would definitely recommend this company
Hi I just purchased a house this company
And the staff there were amazing, specially Geraldine, she has been amazing from the day of the offer and the day of completion… thank you so much Ryder and Dutton and Geraldine
We decided to sell out property via Ryder & Dutton after we were so impressed with their service when buying the property. Zoe and Jenny Boyle really looked after us.
Jenny took all the stress out of moving and chased up the solicitor on both sides constantly. Jenny was always available when we had any questions.
I would definitely recommend them and wouldn’t hesitate using them in the future.
5 star agents
I have just moved into my new home, Ryder & Dutton were very good in communicating throughout the process. Lacey Williams was the negotiator and was very professional in dealing with the sale. I was very pleased with how the process was carried out.
Geraldine made the whole process seamless and I was constantly kept informed about each stage of the sale. Highly recommend. I have used Ryder and Dutton to both buy and sell multiple homes over the years.
