Grisdales were professional, they visited the house and explained everything thoroughly. They arranged all the visits and kept me informed of feedback. They provided advice on how to deal with the sale. Overall, I had a positive experience and would use them again.

I have used Grisdales as letting agents now for 8 years. We have completed 5-6 tenant swaps in our property and they have always been on point. Our property has never been empty for more than a month and there communication has always been spot on. Highly recommend *****

Lesley was my main contact who visited me in my house and went through the process of renting out my property. I felt well informed and costings explained, and in good safe hands. Thanks to the Grisdale team in Whitehaven, carry on with the good communications and reliving the stress of renting out a property.

I recently decided to rent my property out via Grisdales. They made everything very simple, easy and quick. The agent who I met with was incredibly helpful, informative and worked quickly. She had my property rented out in 1 day of it being on the market, I was delighted! Would 100% recommend!

I recently purchased a property from Grisdales Cockermouth and the service i received was fantastic. I dealt with Susan mainly for the sale, her assistance and help was brilliant both before and during the viewing and then during the sale. Will certainly be using Grisdales in the future.
