“Absolutely fantastic service from Cardwells one you will not get from anywhere else.
(I’ve tried almost everyone over the years) If you want your estate agent to listen to you these are your people.
Andrew is honest, kind, knowledgeable, polite, respectful and transparent. Takes his shoes off at the front door ! He has gone above and beyond to help us to sell. All of the staff are lovely and down to earth. 5 STAR service. Don’t waste your time with anyone else.”

Dear all,
Redacted and I are amazed beyond words with your fantastic service, with regard being agents for our Bury house. What may seem normal for you all, unfortunately has not been experienced in any form of service generally, or in particular with redacted Estate agents.
Thank you all so much indeed!
During the handover from redacted estate agents to Cardwells, as you know, the journey was not an easy one, the chasing up by yourselves, and from the two of us, seemed endless. The support received from Cardwells helped redacted, and I brilliantly, and we really appreciate it.
As the last niggle of our complaint, with redacted estate agents nears an end, after so long chasing that up, redacted, and I would like you please to accept the enclosed £20, either as something towards your staff, Christmas box/meal, or something towards, with your coffee breaks, with our sincere gratitude.
Kindest wishes to each and everyone of you.”
“Cardwells are an exceptional estate agents. I recommend this company to everyone I meet, all staff are excellent and super friendly and professional. Cardwells simply go above and beyond most companies and it is a pleasure to sell or buy a property through them. 5 star, gold standard reputation.”
This is a review that we received in September 2021 from a client. It almost brought a tear to my eye when I read it for the first time!! I know that I have the best colleagues, but it is so wonderful when our customers appreciate their work too.

“I have used Cardwells for over 20 years and found they operate with great skill, care and honesty. Top class. Nothing is too much trouble for them and I could not be happier with their services. I would (and regularly do) recommend them to friends and family.”
“We’ve worked with Cardwells in a professional capacity for many years and they’re one of the best agents we’ve dealt with. Karen & Deana are very friendly and helpful with positive ‘can do’ attitudes. We’d recommend them to anyone looking to rent or buy in the area.”
“I bought my house off Cardwells and I will definitely be selling it with them too, when the time comes. The staff are amazing to deal with and it’s always nice to know you’re going to get an agent meeting with you at a viewing, rather than just turning up to meet the seller, and they were always on hand to help deal with solicitors in our times of need. It’s not surprising the seller only had good things to say about Cardwells when I collected my keys!”
“Since first using Cardwells a year ago to buy a property I have since had the Walkden office find me a tenant and subsequently manage the tenancy for me. Chris and the team have been great I couldn’t recommend them enough.”
“I have used the services of Cardwells twice for the sale and purchasing of my homes. Great staff.. friendly, efficient and kept me informed every step of the way with viewings and feedback. Will use them again.”
“Efficient service, quick sale and very pleasant people to deal with. An all round excellent experience and have already recommended Cardwells to another vendor. We would definitely use them again.”
“Professionalism in every aspect! If you look for an estate agency, that will support you all the way through the sale – look no further. From start with David’s accurate valuation and expertise, through lovely Dawn with frequent updates, and house views with Terry to Martin who pro actively engaged in every aspect of our sale and supported us all the way through.
Cardwells thank you for your dedication to lead us to completion of the sale, we couldn’t have done it without you.”
“Communication was good from start to finish. I would highly recommend Cardwells at Bury as they delivered on what they said they would do to a very satisfactory standard, with a professional approach. A huge thank you to David and his team at Bury for making the process of selling my property so easy.”
“Gold standard!! Both Cardwells Bury and Bolton are simply the best. We can not fault their professionalism, helpfulness and knowledge. They have sold us our current home and they always make what should be a very stressful time a whole lot easier. Ric and Claire always respond to emails and we always feel we have been listened to and valued as a customer and we are very grateful. Looking forwards to many more transactions with Cardwells.”
“I’m almost sorry my house has now sold! I’ll miss the warm and friendly but exceptionally professional team at Bury. Martin, Andrew, Dawn and Terry. They all make you feel valued and supported all the way. Importantly they listen to you and at no point do you get the impression it’s a job to them. They really do care, work in your best interests and their communication is outstanding. I chose well. It’s great to see that all the other reviewers report the same experience as myself. I’m proud to recommend them. You can put your trust in them. They won’t let you down.”
“We have been renting our house out for some years now with another agent and recently moved over to Cardwells. They were recommended by a family member who’s property they also manage. Right from the start they have delivered a professional service that has been very reassuring. They carry out frequent visits and will always update with photos within the property. We highly recommend them.”
“I cannot speak highly enough of the service and results we have enjoyed through Cardwells. The advice we were given and followed resulted in the sale of our property within a matter of weeks. Thoroughly professional and incredibly helpful in all our dealings with them.”
“I have used Cardwells for renting my property for over 10 years now. They continue to provide a very professional and friendly service dealing with any repairs that arise on the property very quickly & efficiently by tradespeople who are reliable and trustworthy. I would not hesitate to recommend them.”
“I would highly recommend Cardwells for selling your property. The service we received was fantastic !! Richard and his team made the whole sale process very pleasant and even recommended a solicitor which made the whole process run very smoothly.”
“I used Cardwells to sell my late mother’s home. Everyone that I dealt with, particularly Richard, Andy and Deana, were so professional and knowledgeable and really made a difficult situation that bit easier for myself and my family. I couldn’t recommend them enough and would not hesitate to use them again in the future. Thank you so much, to all the hardworking team, you are all fabulous at what you do!”
