Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Julie Twist. They made our sale and move so much easier - we really couldn't have done it without them.

Huge thank you to Chris & Louis.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Julie Twist Properties enough! I was incredibly impressed by their efficiency and professionalism. On very short notice, they managed to arrange and show me around three different flats all within a single hour. The service was seamless from start to finish. Emily was fantastic—she was so kind and patient, answering every single one of my questions with expertise. I felt truly looked after, especially as they provided detailed brochures for every property I viewed, which made the experience feel organised and high-end. Knowing that the properties listed by Julie Twist are of such high quality gives me total peace of mind. They provide all the necessary details to help me make an informed final decision. I’ll definitely be continuing my search with them. Highly recommended!

Thanks for the review Dan!
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience selling my apartment with Julie Twist, and Ellie in particular was brilliant throughout. She kept everything clear and stress-free, always had time for my questions, and moved things along nicely. It felt like she genuinely cared about getting the best outcome, and the communication was spot on from start to finish. If you’re looking to sell in Manchester and want an agent who actually looks after you rather than just listing your place and disappearing, I’d definitely recommend them.
Thanks James for the kind words, we are so happy to see Ellie was able to help you throughout the process

Fantastic experience: I just moved out of a property managed by Julie Twist for the last 4 years and have had an absolutely amazing experience from the start till the end of the tenancy. Kelly Davenport has been really helpful with any issues, maintenance or otherwise, that I encountered during this period and also ensured a seamless move out process!
We appreciate you're kind words and are glad to see that Kelly was able to help you throughout your tenancy
Fantastic experience: It's been a pleasure working with Julie Twist. They have made the whole process of looking for apartments very enjoyable, and I really enjoyed the recent viewing I had in a Manchester apartment (the viewing agent Emily was brilliant, very knowledgeable and answered every question I had!). Overall very professional, and would thoroughly recommend!
Thanks for the lovely review Harry, we are glad to have helped you in your search
Fantastic experience: Darren Bolton, JT’s Lettings Department Leader, recently marketed a flat we own in Manchester City Centre. As always, Darren and his team did a fantastic job. They found a great tenant and then onboarded them seamlessly. I highly recommend Julie Twist Properties. Great to deal with and very, very good at what they do.
Thanks for the kind words Mike!
Fantastic experience: Reached out to Julia Twist to list my property on the rental market. I first spoke with Mollie, Mollie was very professional on the phone and knowledgeable with the local area. Darren is great, again very professional and personable. He took some fantastic pictures and advised me on ways to market the property which will get us extra exposure. The Property was listed on a monday and we had 5 viewings booked by the Saturday! Great work guys!
Fantastic experience: Just had a viewing with Emily, she was earlier than me and really accommodating with my questions etc, couldn't ask for more! :)
Thank you for the lovely review James

He was very kind and polite, and explained everything clearly while giving us all the information we needed. Overall, it was a very good experience with the viewing Really happy with them! Honestly, after dealing with a few other agencies, the difference is huge. These guys are super organized, always on top of things, and really helpful. They sorted out all the issues we had in the house quickly and without any hassle. I’ll definitely go with them again when I buy a place next year. Highly recommend!

Always available and knowledgeable throughout the process. Very impressed. Yvonne Cook also has been our port of call since and has likewise dealt with everything quickly. Chloe and Isabel have also dealt quickly with any questions. The marketing an onboarding by the team at Julie Twist has been very good, very efficient
Fantastic experience: So glad we used Julie Twist to help us sell our property! Louis is lovely and clearly very knowledgeable with the city centre property field. He is easily contactable and very quick to reply to emails which I much appreciate. Once our house got sold STC, Chris took over and Chris has been amazing from the start. Efficient, keeping us up to date and helping ensure the sale goes through as soon as possible. He too is very quick to reply to emails. Would definitely recommend Julie Twist to friends and family who are looking to buy/sell/rent in the city centre. Thank you guys!!
Fantastic experience: Chloe was amazing, so helpful, kind, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Really appreciate all her support! Thank you so much Julie twist property.

Fantastic experience: My experience with Julie Twist properties has been fantastic ! They have been letting my property for a long time and I have had they have helped me a lot. The sales department is excellent, they have just sold a flat from me and I am very pleased with the whole process. They are always very helpful and cooperative.
Fantastic experience: The perfect estate agents for Manchester city centre. In our initial chat with Louis we were impressed by his knowledge of the area and recent sales. Ellie then did a brilliant job of negotiating the sale, ensuring we got a great outcome for everyone with zero fuss. Chris was also really helpful managing the sale, ensuring we were kept up to date and things ran smoothly. The team were always available when required and happy to help, being prompt and even pro-active throughout the sale. I would recommend them to anyone looking to sell their property.
Thanks for your lovely review James. We're delighted to see how happy you were with the sales team and are happy to have helped you
Fantastic experience: Great service and kind towards to tenants. All questions were answered politely and gave me details that are required, its a straight forward and simple process. Great support. Thanks .
Thanks for the lovely review Maniteja!
Fantastic experience: I've just signed on a house through Julie Twist Properties and it has been a great process. Chloe B has been so helpful and friendly the whole time putting up with me emailing her a million time!
Thanks for the review Holly, we're glad to see Chloe was able to help you
Negative experience: I had a great experience until the end of tenancy. Part of my deposit unfairly held as they found some cobwebs and dust on top of the closets. In my 12 years in UK I never got a deduction on my deposit, because I always make sure to deep clean and leave it in great condition! Pressurised to agree with the deduction of £190 for this dust. I really did deep clean the full house but the agent had the audacity to keep telling me that the house was left dirty. They came with an UHD camera and took closeup photos of the cobwebs and dust on top of the closet. We have left the property exactly as we found it, it was just an unfair way to get some income from tenants. Both me and my husband are outraged in the unfair deduction, we were told the cleaner spend 3h cleaning - aparently cobwebs and dust on top of closets take 3h to clean.
Hi Giedre,
I’m very sorry to see a 1* review.
Having looked into the claims further, I can see that there were multiple areas that required cleaning which includes behind furniture where there is a large build up of dust. Unfortunately the property didn’t meet the standards for a new tenant to move in and is why we had to hire cleaners to clean the property. We do not profit from cleaning charges, we can only bill exactly what is charged by a professional cleaning company.
We wish you the very best in your new property.
Fantastic experience: Dealing with Julie Twist was a pleasure. From viewing the flat with Jo to securing it with Darren and Chloe, their team provided great service. I would definitely recommend them if you’re looking for a new home in Manchester. Five stars!
Fantastic experience: Our Sales Progressor, Chris Aylward, was exceptional. His professionalism and communication skills made a positive and valuable contribution to the process. Thank you Chris and the rest of the team for making it happen
Fantastic experience: Thanks all for helping us find our flat to rent. Had an enjoyable viewing experience and Chloe was very helpful throughout the referencing. Looking forward to moving to Manchester!
Fantastic experience: Can’t speak highly enough of Julie Twist. Just completed a flat purchase, Louis was super helpful in the early stages to get the ball rolling and Chris did a fantastic job of making sure that everything continued to move along which resulted in a fast completion. A really friendly bunch too, easy to talk to and more than happy to help out with any queries, I really can’t thank them enough!
Fantastic experience: A great estate agents. Chloe has been dealing with my application process. She is very professional, friendly and responds in a timely manner. She has also been great explaining the process along the way. Thank you!
Thanks for the 5 stars Cameron, we are glad to see Chloe was able to help you throughout the process
Fantastic experience: The valuation and listing process was all handled quickly and professionally and everyone in the team is friendly and helpful. The valuation specialist is very knowledgeable, personable and prompt, and made the whole process straightforward. He's pleasant to deal with and super-efficient too!
Thanks for the 5 stars Sara! We're delighted to have helped you throughout and are happy to see you wonderful review
Fantastic experience: Yvonne has managed my property for several years and is very attentive and quick to respond (thank you!). Chloe and Darren have recently helped me find new tenants (within 48 hours!); they were communicative, thorough and most helpful. 5 star service!
Thanks for the revie Mark, the team are happy to have helped you throughout the process
Fantastic experience: Can't recommend Julie Twist enough. From the initial sales process managed by Darren, the lettings checks managed by Chloe and the ongoing queries managed by Yvonne, each person demonstrated the same high level of communication and expertise. It's been a thoroughly smooth experience and it's left us so confident that we've got the right people managing our lovely property once the new tenants move in.
We're happy to have helped you Martyn and are happy to see your lovely review and 5 stars
Fantastic experience: Lucy was incredibly helpful throughout the entire renting process. From the initial property viewing to successfully securing the home, she guided me every step of the way!
We are happy to see Lucy was able to help you, thanks for your review Adesola!
Fantastic experience: We would definitely recommend these guys. Great service despite us not even being their client. They continuously liaised with everyone involved in an effort to keep things moving along. Calls and emails were always returned and staff were always helpful and friendly.
Thank you for your kind words Serena
Fantastic experience: Darren came to my value my flat and I couldn't of been more impressed with him. He was friendly and very knowledgeable about my flat and the area which is great. He has kept to his word and done everything he said he would do which I really have appreciated. He has kept me informed through the whole process. The viewings got booked in and offers have been made, it has been such a smooth process from start to finish. I really do appreciate everything Darren and his team have done, especially being a first time landlord as it can be a little daunting at first. I would 110% recommend Julie Twist and it was all because of Darren's excellent first impression!
Hi Emily we are delighted to have helped you and are glad to see you were happy with Darren's service throughout the process
Fantastic experience: Very professional experience with Julia Twist properties! Chloe has been great help, answering every question I’ve needed and helping make the application process run smooth! :) Quick and effective!
Thanks Luke for you 5 stars!
Fantastic experience: During my tenancy of 1.5 years with Julie Twist I have had the delight of having Kelly Davenport as my property manager. She has been extremly helpful during my time within the property and at the end of the tenancy. Because of the high quality of the customer service I have recieved from herself and the team I will always look to rent with Julie Twist properties and would definitely reccomend to others.
Thanks for the review Archie, we are glad you were happy with Kelly as a property manager. Thank you for the 5 stars
Fantastic experience: As a landlord, I have been using Julie Twist for over 10 years and their service is impeccable. Chloe, Darren and Kelly are very proffesional, have given honest advice and are very knowledgable with both the market around Manchester. They are also up to date regarding lettings and compliant procedures. I would highly recommend their services given they are very attentative and give a more perosnalised experienced in comparison to other estate agents who i have used in the past.
Thanks for the kind words we are happy to have helped you
Fantastic experience: Had an excellent experience while renting my flat on my move to Manchester. Julie Twist Properties made the process seamless and gave lovely and friendly customer service. Special thanks to Chloe and Darren for helping organise in the process!
Thank you so much for the kind words, Danny it's been a pleasure to help you!
Negative experience: Truly shocking experience with the lettings department at Julie Twist. Joe, (who unfrotunately doesn’t work in lettings) is the only person who seems to understand what customer service is all about. He was friendly and did his best to help, but even he couldn’t get through to the lettings team. He sent them a message, and they only tried to call me back after he sent them a message twice. I misesed the call as i was in a meeting. Since then, I’ve called multiple times like 10 times — no answer, no response. It’s been impossible to even book a simple viewing. The communication and professionalism from the lettings department are completely unacceptable. A total waste of time. Landlords, be warned — if this is how they handle potential tenants, it’s no wonder your properties sit empty. I’ll be taking my business elsewhere if I were you. Avoid.
Hi David, I’m terribly sorry to see this review. I have investigated further and would like to clarify the details;
You called the office before our office opening hours and our out of office messaging service had taken your call. You then called back and left a message with Joe who passed this onto our Lettings team. Our lettings team had tried to call you back which you then returned their call. Our lettings team were busy on other calls at this time so Joe passed another message to them. The team then called you again however there was no answer. You then called back a further three times to a direct dial rather than the office line and unfortunately the consultant was out on appointments. We have taken your feedback very seriously and will look to update our phone systems so that if a member of staff is unable to take the call, this will automatically filter through to the entire office so someone is able to assist you. We really appreciate all feedback especially when constructive and allows us to review our internal processes and I am deeply sorry that on this occasion you found it difficult to reach the relevant person to assist you.
Fantastic experience: I had a really positive experience with Julie twist properties. I found Chloe to be extremely helpful throughout the whole process. Communication was always clear and professional, and I really appreciated how quickly Chloe responded to any of my questions or concerns I had. I would definitely recommend them to others!
Thank you for your lovely feedback - Chloe is a *!
Fantastic experience: From our initial contact with Louis we knew Julie Twist Properties were the right people to trust with the sale of our apartment. Rebecca, Ellie and Louis from the sales team were amazing, showing potential buyers around our apartment and being pro-active with gathering constructive feedback along with finding us the right buyer. Chris our Sales Progressor was fantastic in guiding us and keeping us informed all the way through the sales process. Due to their professionalism and effort, what we were told by other estate agents would take on average six months was achieved in record time of just nine weeks. We can’t thank the team enough and would highly recommend them every time if you are considering selling your property.
Thank you ever so much for your kind words
Fantastic experience: I just bought a flat through Julie Twist, and Chris made what could have been a very stressful process an absolute breeze. Super friendly, bent over backwards to help and super responsive. So happy with my new home and couldn’t recommend JT enough!
Thank you for taking the time to leave such kind feedback!
Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of working with Chloe from Julie Twist Lettings, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the beginning, Chloe was incredibly lovely, attentive, and helpful. She was quick to answer all of our questions and made sure we had all the information we needed to make a well-informed decision. Even when Chloe was away, she ensured that we were taken care of by providing us with a point of contact, which made the whole process seamless. The entire team at Julie Twist Lettings was incredibly responsive and supportive, always making us feel like a priority. Chloe was especially great at balancing the needs of both us, as tenants, and the landlords, ensuring that everyone’s requirements were met. She gave us plenty of time to make our decision, which was greatly appreciated, and offered valuable guidance throughout the entire process. I truly felt supported and well-catered to, and I would highly recommend Chloe and the team at Julie Twist Lettings for anyone looking for a smooth and stress-free rental experience.
Thank you for such wonderful words!
Fantastic experience: Achieved the timely sale of my property and managed a five property chain under very challenging conditions. Louis was an excellent advisor and I would recommend him to anyone.
Thank you very much for your positive feedback!
Fantastic experience: Chloe has been so helpful and attentive with helping us find a new flat and arranging the move. We have had constant communication and no queries go unanswered.
Thank you very much for the positive feedback Eve!
Fantastic experience: Just rented our new property through Julie Twist. The reservation & application process was made smooth and easy to understand thanks to Chloe Brewin. We had a few questions throughout the process and Chloe answered her emails promptly everytime so we felt fully looked after and informed. Also, thank you to Darren Bolton for assisting us with the letting process too & to Sol and Jo for showing us the property. This has 100% been the best letting agent I have dealt with in my 8 years of renting. Thanks again!
Thank you for your lovely review Steph, we are so happy to have helped you and hope you'll settle in well.
Fantastic experience: Chloe has been incredible from start to finish with the whole application process. She’s made the whole thing plain sailing and stress free. Constant communication with emails and calls to get things moving faster. Really appreciate this! One of the best, thanks Chloe!
Thanks for the 5 stars Jay
Fantastic experience: Great service! Chris was incredibly helpful in getting my purchase over the line and continues to be so even after completion! Louisa who showed me round the flat a couple times was also lovely.
We're glad you were happy with our service, thanks for the 5 star review Ananta
Fantastic experience: Excellent service. Having been with many different letting agents whilst living in Manchester. Julie Twist made all changes easy and quick making a seamless move in and move out process. Special shout out to their maintenance team especially Dan who was brilliant and always considerate as my partner worked night shifts. Would highly recommend.
Thank you for your lovely words Joe we are happy to have helped
Fantastic experience: After being made homeless due to a flood New Year’s Day Julie twist ensured they could do everything in supporting and finding us a new home. Every call and email was answered and responded to quickly, they had empathy in a horrible situation and made sure to help us feel at ease when anxieties for my family were at an all time high. Thank you for the support and professionalism displayed throughout this process. Chloe, Kelly, Darren and the rest of the team responding to our calls.
Hi Lucy, thank you so much for the lovely review. We are more than happy to have helped you in these tough circumstances and secured you somewhere.
Fantastic experience: I’ve had a thorough experience with both the sales team as well as the lettings team and in every aspect Julie Twist have been outstanding. When renting through Julie Twist, concerns were addressed at the earliest instance. They were communicative and professional. Our tenancy was dealt with by Kelly Davenport who couldn’t have been more helpful. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the sales team. Purchasing a flat could have been an extremely stressful process, but the team at Julie Twist were superb in chasing slow solicitors, being reassuring and proactive, and guaranteed there was good communication at all times. I cannot express my thanks to Louis, Chris, Ellie and Louisa enough.
Thank you Will for such a lovely review, we are delighted to see how happy you were with the service from our team.
Fantastic experience: Dan is awesome! The service was exceptional, he answered all my annoying questions with ease. Let me know what he was doing, and explained everything perfectly. Which is super nice! He was super easy to speak too, and he made me feel comfortable straight away. What a legend! Thank you Dan!!!
Fantastic experience: I used Julie Twist to sell my flat and the service I received has been exceptional. From advertising my flat and organising the contract with Rebecca, viewings and feedback handled by the team, confirmation of offers with Ellie and Louis and then progressing the sale through to completion with Chris... it takes a village but every person involved has been polite, accommodating and understanding. A key person involved has been Chris who has liaised between me (the seller) and the buyer and our solicitors every week (nearly every day by the end) for the last 6 months. Words can't describe how amazing he has been. So diplomatic and calm, and keen to make all sides happy. I can't thank him enough to helping to get the sale through, and in 6 months. I've recommended using Julie Twist to 123 other owners in my block and that shows how much I would highly recommend using Julie Twist for your sale.
Fantastic experience: Just have to say I have been a landlady with Julie Twist for 20 years and have always had a great relationship with them. I have also now sold my properties through them and they were fantastic - they were the seamless conduit between buyer, sellers and the hopeless solicitors. Great communication and staying on top of everything- special shout out to Chris Aylward who was tenacious and on the ball every step of the sales process. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Chris from Julie twist kept me up to date with the transaction right from the start and followed up all involved in the transaction to progress to completion. Overall it was nice and easy :)
Fantastic experience: Darren and Kelly have been invaluable in the process of letting our apartment in Manchester city centre - they have offered advice and guidance throughout the process and have shown exemplary customer service. Julie Twist Properties have also been the sole agent in the selling of our other apartment and have expertly handled the entire process of advertising, getting the best sale price and handling the sale process to completion. We would entrust Julie Twist Properties and the expert sales and lettings teams with our properties any day - they are reliable and stand out from all other agencies we have worked with in the past.
Fantastic experience: 10/10 for the service and swiftness of how they managed my lettings, Julie Twist is frankly phenomenal. There was not one single point that needed even tweaking in the entire process, from inception to final statements being issued with funds after everything was done and dusted in no time, they actually rented my personal home in just under 3 hours (yes 3 hours, thats not a spelling mistake) which was beyond anything I have experienced in over 20 years of letting my properties. As chairman of the Beetham Tower Residents Association, I am more than happy to recommend them to any prospective customer. Thanks darren (especially) and all the team at JT…brilliant just brilliant See you all next time i need ANYTHING!! Kind regards Geoff Edwards Btra Chairman
Fantastic experience: Fantastic service, thank you! Ellie and Paul were very polite and helpful early on, and I dealt mainly with Chris from there onwards. My case progressed very slowly (due to a poor choice in conveyancers on my part!), and the purchase was truly kept alive by Chris' persistence; without this, I have little doubt that it would have fallen through. I was kept fully-informed throughout, thanks to Chris' responsiveness and proactivity, and he managed the relationship with an understandably frustrated seller admirably. He repeatedly went 'above and beyond' to ensure that all parties worked together to get this over the line. I would highly recommend Julie Twist to anybody, based on this experience.
Thanks Keith for your lovely review, we are delighted to see you were happy with our sales team throughout the process
Negative experience: Difficult admin process when short staffed and many errors for move in. They have addressed many issues within the week of move in, but there are communication issues. Don’t expect to find a simple letter or anything inside flat/house that Julie Twist prepares before arrival because the agency doesn’t check the property in person before move in, especially on a quick turn around. To improve your service a simple letter that says welcome or something the agent has to leave in the flat day before move in ads a reassuring touch Window: unrepaired Closet: Construction site vibes in one of the sections
Hi Sophie,
(This response is an earlier response. Sophie’s review has now been edited.)
We deeply apologise for the inconvenience of a bed not being present and the window not being repaired upon your arrival to the property (Oct 7th 2024 approx 11am). As mentioned in our communications via phone and email, we were informed by the landlord that both the instalment of the bed and window repair would be taken care of prior to you collecting keys. I totally appreciate your disappointment on arrival to see this was not the case. You had emailed the office with your written formal complaint (Oct 7th 2024 15.59pm) and the office manager acknowledge your complaint with a written response (Oct 7th 16.36pm). Sian expressed your frustrations to the landlord and had advised the landlord that in your best interest, we should order the bed and mattress on his behalf to guarantee a delivery as soon as possible and he cancel his arrangements. Sian informed you the bed & mattress would be delivered the following day. (Oct 8th 2024 14.29pm) My understanding is the bed and mattress has now been delivered. The landlord is onto the window repair as a matter of urgency.
Your acting property manager was off on bereavement leave, which was very unexpected and sudden. I believe you have edited this fact out of your original review.
Regarding your comments on the inventory, we will always give tenants the opportunity to make any amendments to the inventory and ask that they are as detailed as possible, this is encouraged by us in order to protect your deposit at the end of the tenancy. You were provided with a full descriptive inventory, despite what your review suggests, as you hadn’t realised two pages were stuck together and later apologised for the error. We welcome feedback on how we can improve our systems but unfortunately, we cannot control human error.
We hope to work with you amicably for the remainder of your tenancy and trust we can move forward from this. We wish you a very happy time in your new home, and we apologise again for the disappointment you were met with upon arriving to the property.
*EDIT – thanks for increasing the stars on the initial review Sophie, we do appreciate it. Just a note on the letter upon arrival, we do provide all tenants with a ‘Tenant Guide’ detailing key information you will need for the tenancy. Manuals etc often are lost and damaged so these are no longer left inside of the property, but all manuals can be found on Google by searching for the make and model number.
Fantastic experience: We have recently completed on the sale of our city centre apartment in Manchester (Ancoats). The team at JT have been first class from the outset of the sales process. Louis in particular, is a shining example of adopting a customer centric approach, he was proactive throughout and always easy to contact. Chris in the sales progression team was fantastic, he ensured alignment across the chain and was relentless in his ability to keep the sale moving forward at pace. By far the best experience I have had with an estate agent and cannot recommend the team at JT highly enough! Thank you! Scott & Cassie.
Fantastic experience: Had poor experience with another agent. Darren from JT changed my experience around. JT's process is second to none, as i am in the loop all along. As on overseas owner, I really need a trust worthy agent. Looks like I have found it!
Fantastic experience: Julie Twist helped us to secure a gorgeous and quirky property to rent in Salford. We were moving from down south so had very little knowledge of the area and was unable to come up often to sort paperwork - our lettings consultant (Chloe) made this whole process really easy! She was available to answer any questions that we had and was generally a pleasure to communicate with on all occasions. Couldn't recommend enough!
Fantastic experience: We are selling our home through Julie Twist and have had such a positive experience throughout. Louis especially was supportive, knowledgable and made us feel comfortable immediately. The listing was handled wonderfully and we had a great response with many viewings, achieving several offers over asking. We would definitely recommend!
Fantastic experience: Our experience with this company was amazing, and really reduced the stress of finding an apartment which was a daunting task for me. Chloe Brewin was especially helpful at answering any little questions I had nothing seemed too much trouble which was so lovely. We are so grateful ❤️
Fantastic experience: Chris at Julie Twist has done an amazing job in progressing our sale. Hard to believe that he has only recently moved into this position because he shows all the signs of being an experienced Pro. Thank you Chris
Fantastic experience: Popped in yesterday and spoke to a lovely guy called Darren , he was so helpful said he’d speak to a landlord for us to try to get a viewing on an apartment for my son. He introduced us to his colleague Lucy who was also lovely who he said would look after us if he couldn’t get in touch with the landlord by close of play. He rang me back 5 mins after we left offered the viewing for the next day , unfortunately it was just outside our sons budget , I’d highly recommend Julie twist , the staff were brilliant !!!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a client of Julie Twist Properties since 2017, and I’ve never looked elsewhere for property services in Manchester. From the moment I first engaged with Filippo, the JTP team has been nothing short of exceptional (Lettings, Maintenance and Sales). They are incredibly knowledgeable about the Manchester property market and offer a personalised, professional service that is second to none. They always go above and beyond to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience. Their attention to detail, prompt communication, and commitment to their landlords are what set them apart from other estate agents in the area. If you’re looking for the best estate agents in Manchester, look no further than Julie Twist Properties. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my property!
Fantastic experience: Brilliant service from Julie Twist Properties. Recently had a valuation on our property from Darren and he was very informative, friendly and helpful about the whole process of letting a property out. He answered all of our questions and was very knowledgeable. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: The girl who showed us around was really helpful and knowledgeable on the property. It was in lovely condition and was well kept after. Overall we was really happy with the viewing. And look forward to hearing back.
Fantastic experience: (6 stars) Mollie is the best agent i have met in years. She heard, helped and guided. It's so pleasant to talk to her. I think Julie Twist and all the people at Julie twist are tremendously patient and helpful. I am glad i talked to the Mollie and also louissa(spelling mistake) great work put together. Much appreciated and highly recommended Thanks again team! CHEERS
Thanks a lot Pawan, we really appreciate your kind words
Fantastic experience: We have recently instructed Julie Twist to let out our apartment. The service we have received from Darren has been exceptional. Highly recommend!
Thank you for the review Blessings, we are happy to have helped you instruct your property
Fantastic experience: Amazing customer service; they managed to sort our tenancy agreement while we were in a completely different country with limited telephone and email access. Mollie and Darren were brilliant throughout the entire process and so accommodating. I cannot recommend enough!
Thank you for your review, we are pleased to see you were happy with our service
Fantastic experience: I have recently instructed Julie Twist to let out my flat in Castlefield. The service has been exceptional. Thank you Darren for your professional, prompt and honest service.
Thanks for the stars Andrew, we're glad to see you were happy with our service
Fantastic experience: Paul has been amazing throughout my property purchase, he's always responded really quickly to any correspondence and has been so friendly and really felt on my side throughout the process which has been really reassuring in a complicated sale! The last thing you want from an agent is slow responses but Paul has been fantastic! Thanks again Paul!
Thank you for your review and kind words Emma
Negative experience: TLDR: Darren was great at getting me on board and providing confidence. Actual management of tenancy and property was far below expectation and has left me out of pocket. I do not recommend to use JT. Used Julie Twist to managed my property to let. I went through a round of scoping out different agents to manage my property and I was super pleased with the introduction and build up and setup with Darren. He made things very clear, was very patient and reassuring and gave me complete confidence that Julie Twist could manage my property. Julie Twist aren't the cheapest but I felt that I would pay a bit more for the confidence that Darren provided. The platform (property file) used for me to keep watch of my property seemed to be quite good. It notified when viewings were coming up with some nice prelim details etc. Tenant applications came in quite quickly and I gave final say over the selected tenant. Sadly, Darren is not the person that managed my property. I had a dedicated property manager assigned, which is I guess is normal. Things were fine for the most part of the tenancy although the first red flag was in regards to the inspection. Darren had informed me that there were quarterly inspections, so around three months in, I had checked the property file which indicated that an inspection was booked. This inspection came and went without any result. I messaged the property manager who said it had been done, but for some reason the file was missing and couldn't be found so another one was done. The bulk of the problems came at the end of the tenancy. The tenant was suddenly in arrears but I was never notified of this. I had only discovered this when I followed up with Julie Twist what was happening with the tenant - would he be extending his stay or does a new tenant have to be found. They didn't know... In the end, the tenant returned back to his home country without providing notice, and having issues with his bank account. It was only at this point was I made aware that the rent was being made in person in cash, not by standing order or direct debit. Julie Twist was under the understanding that the tenant was moving onto a monthly rolling contract. The tenant informed me that he was not given confirmation that this was the case and was of the understanding that the tenancy agreement has ended. What this has left me with is a giant list of repairs that need to be made, two months rent unpaid, and a deposit that does not cover the rent arrears and the works required to get my property back into a marketable condition. At the end of the tenancy, I asked about the quarterly inspections. As far as I can tell, only the one which I followed up on at the first quarter was done. Property File has no record of any other inspections, and upon asking my property manager, I was told that they were done and I would be sent the inspections but none of these ever materialised. I have no evidence of the other three interim inspections ever taken place. The whole point of having an agent manage my property was so that I didn't have to do any chasing or follow up myself, especially as I live abroad where it's more difficult to even try to do. Sadly, Julie Twist does not give me any confidence to be able to manage my property and I have since moved to another agent. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Julie Twist for managing let properties.
We are disheartened to see that you have left this review, we'd like to have the chance to respond below;
Firstly, we are happy to hear of your initial experience that you had with Darren.
In relation to in tenancy inspections, there is one inspection carried out per 6 month term. We carried out two inspections at your property, each of the inspections did not raise any concerns. Propertyfile was updated to reflect the inspection had taken place and if there were concerns you would have been notified of this separately
On 26/03/24 an email was sent to yourself and the tenant. The email to you was informing you that the tenancy was coming to and end and to ask if you are happy to renew the current tenant. Your response on 27/03 advised that you had no intention to reclaim the property and were happy to renew the tenancy. On the 16/04 you requested current market updates as you were looking to increase the rent due to a rise in costs you had associated with the property.
The email sent to the tenant on the same day was reminding them of the end of the tenancy date and if they would like to extend their tenancy or vacate when their tenancy comes to an end. On 22/04 the tenant had emailed to ask about the possibility of extending their tenancy but would prefer to move to a monthly rolling tenancy. On 24/04 we informed you that your tenant had asked about moving to a periodic tenancy and as you were looking to increase the rent based on the figures we had provided you on the current market if you had decided on what rent increase you were wanting to propose.
The May ‘24 rent became overdue which was unusual for this tenant as they generally paid on-time each month. On chasing the tenant for the rent outstanding they first informed us that they were overseas and asked for the payment details to pay. After non payment a couple of days later, we chased the tenant again who then responded to apologise and said they were having some issues with their bank and that payment would be made ASAP.
The next day, the tenant informed us that due to a change in their circumstances they need to leave the property and they vacated the day their tenancy ended within one months rent outstanding.
As the tenant had not provided the one months written notice as stated within their tenancy agreement you were wanting to seek a claim for the month the rent was outstanding for, plus the one months rent where the tenant had vacated for the notice period.
Due to the deposit amount held, you were informed that this did not cover 2 months worth of rent. However, we would submit a claim for the one months rent that was outstanding and the remaining amount to go towards any cleaning or damages. You were then advised that anything in addition to the deposit amount would need to be claimed via a small claims court but given the tenant was now overseas this would be difficult to do.
To address your comment of “tenant paying cash each month” this is incorrect as we do not accept cash payments. The email from your Property Manager informed you that the tenant came into the office each month to pay their rent and used a credit/debit card, each time they came into the office they were reminded of our bank details and asked that they set a standing order.
Following the checkout you were provided with details of what maintenance works were required in order to bring the property up to a rentable standard. Most of the works related to the gardens that needed attention rather than any damage to the property internally, although we appreciate that there was some damage to a bedroom carpet which was not noticeable during inspections due to tenants belongings being in place.
We are sorry that you felt the service received was below par for the last month of the tenancy. However, we did all we could to recover the rent owed and your Property Manager kept you updated at all times.
We wish you the best for the future.
Fantastic experience: Thank you to Darron for helping us be accepted for mine and my partners first flat together. Julie twist properties were very efficient and thorough with all the technicalities and we can’t wait to move in!
Fantastic experience: Darren has been amazing at every part of the journey! Not only is he lovely, within one week the property has been viewed, rent agreed and all documentation sent over. Thanks so much for all your help. It’s much appreciated!
Fantastic experience: Julie Twist were superb in helping me sell my flat. Rebecca and Paul were faultless throughout the process, responded to all queries in a timely and professional manner and ensured everything moved forwards smoothly. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to sell their property.
Fantastic experience: Paul has been a great help with the process of buying my first apartment! Helping to organise regular viewings, chasing paperwork and being an all round great help! Couldn’t recommend him and the team more.
Positive experience: Julie Twist have been amazing helping us through the renting process! From the lady who organised the viewing to Yvonne who helped us with property management, a smooth process which we are very grateful for!
Fantastic experience: Paul assisted me with the purchase of my first property. He was very helpful and responsive (often more so than my actual solicitor!) and was a great liaison between myself and the sellers to get our purchase done quickly. He and his team were very reassuring and had a great attitude.
