We have just moved and purchased a property through Athertons in Whalley. Through out the process they have contacted us asking for updates on our sales as we were selling 2 properties. They were very proactive in particular Helen which is more than I can say for the estate agents selling our own property. On the day of completion one of our sales the money hadn't been released from our buyers building society. We were all packed up waiting at our new home for the keys from 11am in the morning. However as completion hadn't taken place we couldn't get the keys. This delay went on all day. At 4.30pm

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.

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.

The worst estate agents I have ever come across! Puts prices on way below the actual wanted price by the vendor to peak interest. Don’t even trust that they have been putting our offers forward! Avoid at all costs, we will never ever use this company again! They have made a situation 10x more stressful than any other estate agents we’ve come across!

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.
