Richard Kendall Estate Agent Recensioni 

Amazing team. Alannah was such an awesome person,she attended to us professionally and she was so calm

Very helpful, very quick service
Thank you

Karen was constantly updating me on progress with the sale. Richard Kendal's stuck to their word when they stated they would give 100% when it came to the sale of our property. Having dealt with numerous property agents in the past I can confidently state that Kendal's have been the best to deal with. Kendal's have a committed employee who is professional, co-operative & puts clients first. She was a pleasure to deal with and I would highly recommend their services.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to Karen Marijewko at Richard Kendall for her outstanding support throughout the purchase of our first home.

From the moment our offer was accepted, Karen kept us regularly updated and was always available to answer our questions. She communicated with both ourselves and the solicitors, ensuring we were kept informed at every stage of what can often be a stressful process.

There were several occasions where the transaction became complex due to the sellers' onward purchase of a new-build property. Karen remained professional, approachable and reassuring throughout, taking the time to explain the situation and liaise with all parties to help keep the purchase moving forward.

What impressed me most was her prompt communication and genuine willingness to help. She always returned calls and emails quickly, and it was clear she cared about helping both the buyers and sellers achieve a successful outcome.

Buying a first home can be overwhelming, but Karen's support, patience and professionalism made a real difference. She is a great asset to Richard Kendall, and I would highly recommend both Karen and the team to anyone buying or selling a property.

Thank you again, Karen, for all your hard work and support. We really appreciate everything you have done for our family.

Karen was a great help throughout my purchase. She kept me updated every week and helped give the solicitors a push along. I wouldn't hesitate in working with her again in the future.

Thank you Jessica for being so helpful whilst renting our property. You have kept us informed every step of the way and we have really appreciated your guidance and expertise. Thank you again!

Karen Marijewko is so lovely and made us feel so looked after whilst buying our first home. She kept me constantly updated and made sure I understood the process. She really took the stress out of it for us and I am really grateful for her. My family has also been selling property through Richard Kendal for years and my mum was so pleased when Karen was assigned to the house I was buying as she knew she would look after us! Thank you so much Karen, I will always recommend you to anyone who is looking to sell / buy a house in the Wakefield area :)

Karen is an absolute legend. I can’t sing her praises enough. We had a very long sale process and she kept me calm on many occasions, and helped so much with information flows between all parties involved. I would highly recommend- thank you Karen! 😀

We had Emily Dunbar as our appointed person at Richard kendall estate agents and honestly I dont know what we would have done without her. Our first sale fell through (not her fault at all the original buyer blindsided us all) but she was on the case, stopped the chain from falling apart and found us a new buyer in 10 days. Between organising all the solicitors, who did their absolute best be be as useless as possible, to giving regular updates on progress and keeping us, our buyers and the seller we were buying from in the loop I honestly couldn't give her a better review. If this gets her a bonus then it needs to be more.

Fantastic service from start to finish from Karen Marijewko and all the team at Richard Kendall.
Karen did exactly as she said she would in a timely and most efficient manner all the way through our purchase process.
I would not hesitate in recommending or using this estate agency in the future.

Richard Kendall have been excellent throughout the whole house move process. In particular, Karen Marijewko has been great: she's been easily contactable when we've had queries, she's kept us regularly up-to-date, and nothing has been too much trouble. Would highly recommend.

Rented from Horbury branch,reported a repair in November 2025, was still not done when we left in July 2026, also had a rat in the garden, pest control came once, no follow up visit, reported again in june as there was a family of rats running round still no response when we left argued they had 28 days to return the bond when legally it is 10 days so not a good experience

I'm so glad I went with Richard Kendall. I was with a different estate agent first and after getting frustrated with lack of communication to poor photos, I decided to give these a go. And I'm so glad I did, the difference in businesses was massive and I can't praise Elizabeth cooke enough, she was such a lovely lady. Literally rang me every week with updates to getting questions from solicitors. Elizabeth went above and beyond. It was very much appreciated, Thank you!

My experience with Richard Kendall's was amazing. Karen Marijewko was absolutely amazing in helping the sale go through and informing me of all developments.

For an agency that markets itself as "local and reputable", Richard Kendall's accompanied viewing service is shocking.

Viewings are outsourced to a tiny, poorly informed team with terrible availability (buyers are normally expected to book over a week in advance for a viewing and can't even get weekday evenings), meaning I had to conduct nearly all viewings myself. On the rare occasions they can attend, they know nothing about the property, which Richard Kendall seem to think is perfectly normal. Saying "we're really busy" is not an explanation - it's an admission they can't deliver the service being paid for by the seller. I might as well have been using an online agency. When someone wants to view, you don't want them being told to wait, you want them to be able to see your property ASAP to maximize sale chances.

For when you're doing an "open to view" at the weekend? Yeah, you have to do that all yourself too... take people's names/details, show them round, etc. Basically do their job for them. None of their agents will help you then, either. For a "full-service agency", I find this totally unacceptable.

From the very beginning of our house purchase, Karen Marijewko at Richard Kendall Estate Agents was absolutely outstanding. She worked incredibly hard throughout the entire process, going above and beyond to ensure everything progressed as smoothly as possible.

What really stood out was how genuinely invested she was in helping us. We never felt like just another client – Karen truly cared about us and wanted us to achieve the best possible outcome. She maintained regular contact, keeping us fully updated every step of the way, and was always available to answer our questions.

One of Karen’s greatest strengths was her ability to explain what was happening in plain English. Buying a house can be stressful and overwhelming, but she made everything easy to understand, giving us confidence and reassurance throughout the journey.

Karen is the ultimate professional – knowledgeable, approachable, compassionate and incredibly dedicated. Her positivity and enthusiasm brought genuine joy to what can often be a very stressful experience, and we are so grateful for everything she did to help us buy our new home.

We cannot recommend Karen and Richard Kendall Estate Agents highly enough. Thank you for making our dream of buying a home such a positive and memorable experience.

If you’re looking at flats in Wakefield, do yourself a favour and check this out first.

Trend House is owned by Trend Developments WKD Ltd. The lettings side is handled by Richard Kendall estate agents. Neither of them will tell you the full story before you sign anything.

What they leave out is that the building is being used for Adult Social Care supported placements. There’s on-site support linked to those residents. Proper private tenants are never told any of this when they view or when they sign the tenancy. They just keep that information back.

The communal areas basically end up operating like an open mental health facility mixed in with normal rented flats. It creates real risks for the people who are just trying to live there as ordinary tenants. Loads of private renters say they feel constantly unsafe using the shared spaces. And it’s not just inside the building - the same disruption spills out onto Northgate and local businesses and people around there have started noticing and commenting on it.

The landlord and the agents already know all of this and they’re doing nothing about it. Nothing’s changing. Ordinary tenants are just left dealing with the risks while the supported placements carry on.

If you’re thinking of taking a flat there, ask them straight in writing about any Adult Social Care or supported housing placements in the building and how the shared areas are actually managed. If they dodge it or give you vague answers, just walk away. There’s no quiet enjoyment or basic safety for normal tenants under this setup.

There are better, safer places in Wakefield. Don’t find this out the hard way after you’ve already moved in.

We have started renting our first property and the whole process has been so much easier with Kelly’s help! She has been so great with keeping us informed and answering any questions we need. Thank you so much!!

Always kept me up to date through out the whole process.
Explained in detail step by step.
Very friendly and kind
10 out of 10 for customer service

All of the staff were friendly and helpful, from the day I asked them to advertise my late father’s property. To the final day of contracts hanging over. So, once again Thank you ❤️
