Alan Cooke Estate Agents

We dealt with Jeremy and Nicola both were fantastic to deal with professional efficient and kept their word of selling our house . Other main agents in the area were abysmal and cost us time and money with their lack lustre attitude and inexperience and just not knowing what to do . USE ALAN COOKE ESTATE AGENTS THEY ARE FANTASTIC CLEVER AND TELL YOU STRAIGHT ABOUT PROPERTY AND MARKET - I COULD NOT RECOMMEND HIGHLY ENOUGH AND THEIR FEES ARE VERY REASONABLE. THANKS FOR A SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION

I boght from this agent house at 322 York Road, LS9 9DN in Leeds. That was very good deal only £90000 for 4 bedroom. I exange it for 5 room Hostel to 10 guest. I recomend this company.

We have just completed on our property and I have nothing but praise for Alan Cooke’s. We had a few quotes from other estate agents but what swung it for us was the fact that from the outset Jeremy Cooke was passionate about the property and incredibly positive and could see the potential both in the quality of the house and the popularity of the sought after area, which others failed to consider. Furthermore, the photographs were of a superb quality and the literature published excellent. Nicola did a marvellous job of keeping us informed at all stages and was constantly on the ball. Knowledgeable, efficient and friendly, she is an asset to the company. All the staff at Alan Cooke’s work so hard and have their clients’ best interests at heart in the honest information and advice they provide. We were delighted that the house was able to sell relatively quickly and for a very satisfactory price

I had an absolutely terrible experience with Alan Cooke. The house was selling for 7 months. Starting with a lack of knowledge of the market, as the price suggested was too high, then chain broke (no agency fault), but 1 min after they got the money… they didn’t care! They couldn’t even make ONE simple phone call 5 min after completion, so I lost £450… and the buyer was lied to instead. I was away, so house was nearly empty, but wanted to give the remaining furniture to a charity. On that day I asked a friend to empty whatever was left - he did… unfortunately including a key safe and put the keys 5 meters (!!!) away from the place it meant to be (by the entry door). He assumed the agency had another key. Do you think Alan Cooke called me when the new owner didn’t find keys in the agreed place?! No, they said to the new owner to get a Locksmith lying they tried to call me as I was in a meeting. I wasn’t, had no meetings, no unanswered calls from AC and instead had phonecalls from solicitors as of course was available - I was selling the house! I knew within 5 min where there keys were when the solicitor told me about it, but why Alan Cook didn’t tell me that the poor new owner was standing outside the door for 4hr… only to find out the key was 5 meters away from him?! Disgusting… I was also equally disgusted by Jeremy’s nasty comments about the competition, criticising their adverts etc etc. I can tell you one thing… Morfitt Shaw will sell your house for a flat fee £1234. Well you wonder, but I bought a house through them 2.5 years earlier and it was a smooth process. Sold my other house with them in February within 3 weeks (no, didn’t want paying more to Alan Cook on that one despite not knowing the terrible final £450 drama). Had three offers including a cash buyer with Morfitt Shaw and guess what, made well above even bank’s valuation, despite Jeremy criticising their marketing approach. … you be the judge

I am absolutely delighted with the 5* service that I have received from the team at Alan Cooke. Jeremy valued the property at £30,000 more than the other 2 agents I approached, both of whom said that his figure was unrealistic. However, I received 2 full price offers within 5 days and agreed a sale for over the asking price, on the 6th day of the property being on the market. The sale process went very smoothly and Cooke's even arranged for the Gas certificate to be obtained. I have now completed and the whole sales process was surprisingly stress free. I have no hesitation in recommending Alan Cooke and I will definitely use them again.
