Preston Baker were true to their word. Using their VIP Launch service not only did we sell our house on launch day but they achieved �5000 over the asking price. All the staff are extremely friendly,caring & professional in what they do. They made us feel like valued customers & that they put as much effort &care into our move as they would their own.
I would recommend them 100% to anybody who values customer care and service
Comments on Agent Fees
Whilst not the cheapest out there we certainly felt they were fair and worth it for the service given.

Absolutely terrible service…. We have recently purchased a property that is in need of a full renovation that will take over 12 months we found the perfect property online through Preston Barker at York as it was only around the corner from the property we have just bought, upon contacting Preston Baker York the agent pressurised and forced a holding fee out of my wife with multiple phone calls emails and voicemails left. After the fee was paid we could not get any of the agents back on the phone for over a week to help arrange paperwork . when we did we were spoke to like total garbage. Purpose of the phone call was to help with sending over documentation. We was told that our paperwork was late and asked is we would pay 12 months / £12000 rent in advance. If they answer the phone on at some point the documentation would of been sent over. The staff was rude with extremely bad attitude speaking to me and my wife multiple times like total garbage.

Horrific service - Did not even have a set of keys to my property, gave them to the tenant and then had none at the estate agents.
My tenant has not paid for 3 months and went to serve a section 8 from the solicitors and Preston Baker had not complied to legal requirements with in their process, so the solicitor's were not comfortable serving this. This has exposed me as a landlord.
Rebekkah Wanden has dealt with this is the York branch. Terrible at communicating and unpersonable. I have to chase her on a weekly basis and when I speak to her, she sounds like she's reading from a script.

We had a great experience in letting a property with Preston Baker in York. The quality of service is definitely superior to any other letting agency we have dealt with in York. The strongest point was definitely the communication flow that they kept with us before and during the process of letting the property. We would like to direct a special thanks to Holly who has been great and went above and beyond to help us.

I was so impressed by Gemma that I ended up going for higher fees than I'd anticipated but it was well worth it in my case.

Karen really went the extra mile to ensure we received the best of service. Even phoned up to congratulate us on our house purchase and check how we were getting on months after selling our previous house through Preston Baker. Nice touch!!

Without Karen we would still be waiting to complete 5 months after putting in an offer. She is excellent. She is honest, direct, straight-talking, impartial, dilligent, reliable and assertive which helped with our lawyers (who weren't any of those things) whilst conversely was kind, informative, reassuring, knowledgeable, accessible and devoted which helped us as first time buyers. Everyone at Preston Baker's office were great but Karen is a cut above. If we were to ever sell she'd be the reason we would approach Preston Baker before anyone else. If only she project managed the buying and fitting of kitchens and bathrooms - we'd have had no problems buying a house!

Terrible experience. Never ever get trapped with these people. Gives no consideration what so ever to the tenants. During my 1 1/2 year stay ,never a maintenace call was attended promptly. When i decided to move out of the contract , whilst within the contract period, i paid them remarketting fees of �240 . Literally what they have done for that money was to put an advertisement in the internet , that to they copy pasted the add which was given in April 2015, dint even bother to place a billboard. Now let us talk about the deduction, they are going to takejuice out of you on this. They completed my checkout literally just before the new tenant moved in, and i am pretty sure they havnt spend a penny on cleaning the property as i have left it in pretty descent shape. When my final settlement came , here is the bill, �80 pound for cleaning hall way carpet, �60 for internal glass cleaning. These are exorbitant rate when compared to market. I have logged a dispute against Preston Bakers , lets see will i get justice ir not???
There are other good agents in the market with better property and who values tenants as much as landlords.

Karen Preece is the estate agent you want on your side. Her determination and tenacity make her sales succeed. She keeps in touch with all parties and their solicitors and gets clear and up to date information to everyone. However difficult things get she never gives up. We will be eternally grateful to her. If we need to sell or buy a house again I hope it will be Karen who will act for us. I'm sure her tenacity often means the difference between a sale and a failed sale. Good luck in the future Karen!
