Testimonials

Hodsons Estate Agents have sold 2 houses for me in the last 2 years, one within 3 weeks and the other within a few days. On both occasions prices were realistic, potential purchasers were screened and appointments managed with feedback within 24 hours. The managing of the sales from offer through to completion was first class, not to mention the professional and personal support for a very sensitive sale. Hodsons also manage our rental property which has been an absolute breath of fresh air as they protect our investment and ensure legal compliancy as well as managing the day to day routine tasks.

In summary Hodsons offer an excellent service at a very competitive price and I would highly recommend every time.

August 2019

We would like to thank you all for your hard work during the last few months. We could not have asked for a more professional service. Your understanding, patience and perseverance meant such a lot to us, and the end result was positive for all concerned.

Keep up the good work!

I would not hesitate to recommend Hodsons, they have great knowledge of the local area and assisted greatly in the selling process. When matters became complex between solicitors, James and Louise helped enormously to assist with resolutions. This was not of course their role however, they wasted no time ensuring that all parties (buyer, seller and solicitors) colluded to provide a timely resolution. In all honesty I do not know where we would have been without Hodsons and I am most grateful for all their time and effort. The involvement ensured a timely sale and I really can't thank them enough. Hodsons you have been an excellent team, well done to all of you.

I am over the moon with the help I received from the moment I put my offer in to purchase a property being sold by Hodsons. The estate agent, Donna was extremely helpful and understanding of my situation as a first time buyer. I had many questions and would often ring numerous times a week to ask questions and Donna would help in any way she could which I was really appreciative of. Thank you so much Donna for making this such a pleasant experience.

May 2015

We approached Hodsons in 2001 to request that they provided a full management package for our first Buy to Let property. Then in 2003  we added a second apartment, without hesitation, under a similar package.

Since 2001 Hodsons Property Management have provided us with a professional, friendly and efficient service always keeping us well informed with regards to  properties, tenants and up to date with any changes to regulation requirements. Most importantly they have provided us with good tenants and very little rental downtime throughout.

We sincerly recommend Hodsons for your Property Management requirements.

April 2015

I have been using Hodsons letting agency for many years. I have in the past had many agents so I feel I can give an objective view. They do what they say they will do and they do it well.  The best agent I have dealt with.

April 2015

Hodsons have managed 3 of my rental properties for many years. I am extremely satisfied with the excellent and professional service they have always provided. Each member of the team is friendly, helpful, efficient and knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

April 2015

We have moved house eight times during the last 45+ years, the most recent being in the summer of 2014. The service we received from Hodson’s must count amongst the most professional we have  experienced. We found all of the staff to be unfailingly friendly and courteous, prompt and dependable in responding to our enquiries and extremely knowledgeable in terms of the local market.  Our house was well presented and  sold quickly. Perhaps  most importantly, we were treated as individuals and kept informed at each stage in the process.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Hodsons to other potential house vendors.

April 2015

We first started using Hodsons approximately 15 years ago when we converted old office space into apartments in the centre of Wakefield. They quickly vetted applicants and let these premises. Since that time we have placed all our varied premises with them on full maintenance contracts. 

Their sales, vetting, inspections, cleaning and maintenance staff are very efficient and reliable. 

I can't recommend them highly enough.

April 2015

We have used Hodsons to manage our flat since 1997.  They have always offered a friendly and professional service, with sound advice when required.  They have achieved a continuity of staff that gives us confidence to rely on them, especially as we live some distance from West Yorkshire.

April 2015

Hodson Estate Agents have let my house since late 1998 and have provided an exceptional service which is professional at all times with the appropriate advice and recommendations in order to ensure a swift letting of the property.  The time between lettings has been minimal and I have no hesitation in recommending them to other Parties seeking the services of a reliable and professional Property Letting Agent.

April 2015

Hodsons have managed our property for over 6 years, providing hassle-free, reliable management services with minimal time-investment from our side. This is a great asset to us as we can relax knowing our property is in good hands. In this period, the tenancy has changed very infrequently, further demonstrating Hodsons’ commitment to establishing and maintaining solid, long-term relationships with excellent tenants.

April 2015

Hodsons have been letting my house for the last 4 years and have always found good tenants and have been pro active in finding new tenants without any gaps. They have always kept me informed of any issues and have arranged for them to be fixed at very competitive rates. I would absolutely recommend them to other landlords looking for a reliable, competitive and trustworthy agent.

April 2015

We have been using Hodsons since 2007 to manage our rental property in Wakefield. I have found them professional, helpful and they have always managed to find good tenants for us. They have also proved very resourceful and kept our property in very good condition, sourcing excellent local tradespeople for decorating and maintenance.

April 2015

My experience of selling my parent’s deceased estate through Hodsons was first rate. James has his ‘finger on the pulse’ with respect to higher-value properties in the Wakefield area and he was very sensitive to the circumstances of my sale.

Their sales particulars did absolute justice to the quality of our family house, which I’m sure helped to sell it quickly.  James and his staff were professional and friendly throughout the selling process and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending their services.

April 2015

I have used many agents over the last 10 years and the service Hodsons provides is second to none. They act in a highly professional manner, Hodsons have been very effective in letting my property and are always helpful and friendly. They are a good model for other agents to follow.Hodsons has dealt efficiently with my requirements acting at all times in a responsive  manner ,Hodsons offer a very professional and efficient service. On top of that their staff are extremely helpful and their handling of tenants,landlords and administration is exceptional and goes beyond my expectation. I would definitely keep using  them .I would have no hesitation recommending Hodsons.

April 2015

Hodsons recently handled the sale of a property for us.  All the staff were extremely helpful, nothing was too much trouble for them and they all went the extra mile to ensure that our property was sold as quickly and smoothly as possible.

April 2015

We chose Hodsons to find our tenants due to their quality of service. The brand of the company is very professional which is reflected in their service. We have always found them very helpful every time we speak to them. They helped us find the most suitable tenants for the properties. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

James, a big thank you for selling my house! Your team were fantastic and certainly put other ‘larger’ Wakefield based estate agents to shame. The level of customer care shown was excellent and I would have no hesitation in recommending Hodson’s Estate Agents to other sellers.

April 2015

~~We have used the services of Hodsons estate Agents over many years.  Initially this was a tenants of a property that we rented through Hodsons and always found any requirements dealt with in a professional and timely manner.  Since becoming a landlord the professional attitude has continued from the initial search for a suitable tenant through to the contract arrangements  and overseeing any works/repairs that need undertaking during the tenancy.  They have always asked prior to appointment of tradesmen and have a good selection of people who carry out any works.      

April 2015

Over the last 5 years we have been more than happy to entrust our portfolio of properties in the more than capable hands of Hodsons lettings. Not only have they let our properties with speed and efficiency, they have also managed them professionally and personally. The team at the Wakefield office are a pleasure to deal with, they tick all the boxes for us, friendly, polite, helpful, knowledgeable, quick to respond, and above all, professional. We have no hesitation in recommending Hodsons to anyone seeking to let their property as they are, in our opinion, the best lettings agents in the area.

We would both like to thank you and everyone at Hodsons for all your help. We chose Hodsons for your air of professionalism and honesty, we will gladly recommend you to friends and family.

One thing we would like to point out is that Hodsons have been by far the most professional Company we have dealt with and that we have no hesitation in recommending your services.

We initially looked at a house with Hodsons which wasn't exactly what we were looking for. James was aware of what we wanted  and contacted me when they took on a house which had previously been with another agent. I had missed this house on Rightmove and it had not been proposed by the other agent (despite looking at other properties with them), possibly as it was priced lower than others we were looking at. The house was perfect for us. Hodsons were very supportive throughout the sale. If James hadn't been aware of our search criteria we wouldn't have seen the house which met so many of our requirements.
