I have known Paul for a number of years and I have always found him honest, straight talking and fair. His only weakness is that he carestoo much .. which in this world is very rare! Top chap with a top team

I have only used ALE to find me tenants when one of my houses comes empty. I have always been very pleased with the tenants they have selected for us.

I have been with ALE for over 5 years now and just purchased my third house with them. I just wanted to say thanks for making things easy for me! For those who like me want to invest in this area but are not from there or don't have much time. ALE is the perfect solution, they listen and take your needs into account and more importantly, they Deliver. Thanks again for this gem you found me once again.

We have used the services of Ainsworth Lord Estates for around 2 years, they have helped our growing company with the acquisition of storage premises in Darwen. Paul and the girls are very helpful and the service they provide has proven very cost effective for our business. Highly recommended

It was quite daunting to consider renting as it was something I had not done before, but ALE reassured me and took on the whole situation. They found just the right tenant in no time who even agreed to pay a years rent up front which was a real advantage for me in my situation. It was just what I needed and ALE helped so much with all the so varied arrangements to do with the rental of my previous home. ALE were brilliant. In no time at all there were nine applicants looking at my property and ALE got one signed up within a day or so ... it was a relief how quickly and professionally they found the tenants and sorted all the paperwork and legal matters. They handled everything to do with finding the tenant and ensuring the house was ready as it should be for the tenant when they moved in . I was so glad I was with them and they knew all about how to sort out my rental quickly and safely. What a relief! They made sure I got the best possible rental price for the property. The tenants have moved in for a year and that is one less thing I have to worry about. ALE showed themselves in all ways whether finding a buyer for a property or helping amateur landlords like myself to be the best around here for sure. I would always recommend them..and I have been most grateful, for their professional support and advice.

Ainsworth Lord Estates were so helpful and gave such a wonderful fantastic, personal service and they got my house sold for me in what I felt was a very good time in this current difficult market Everything was absolutely spot on in terms of the advertising and handling the viewings and so on and I was pleased with the fact that I got a really good price for my home which ALE negotiated very well for me. I have been delighted with the whole sale really. ALE are most professional and really know their business..that's for sure. I found out about ALE because my twin sons used to go to school with Paul – so it was a sort known connection and I am delighted I went with ALE. The only thing one need to say is how fantastic and excellent as an agent they are. I was delighted with everything – marketing, how long they took to sell my home ..and the very good negotiation.... everything went smoothly – nothing was too much trouble and its all worked out just right.

I found out about ALE in the local paper and they did seem to know the area very well and also knew about my type of property and its value and so on. They were helpful and did all they could do to get it sold. ALE did arrange for quite a few people to come round to view my home which was because ALE knew people who were looking and obviously they knew about all the marketing and so on . ALE advised me honestly about the price we could expect so it did go on the market properly and so had a good chance to be sold - and it has been, which is excellent. I would recommend ALE as an estate agent because they obviously know the area and what needs to be done. They have the right approach. Moving is not easy and you need the right support and ALE certainly helped get things sorted out for me so I could make my move to my new home.

I used ALE when moving up to Blackburn last year and the relationship got over to an excellent start when they were the only company to take time to actually show you around the property properly. After that, combined with the quality of the property, convinced me that this was the right company for me to use. Over the next year I had an excellent experience with ALE, they have excellent opening times, allowing people who work until late to still phone and try and get an issue sorted, and every email I sent was responded to, usually with a small day or so delay, but I didn't once send an email that wasn't responded to. Every time I made a complaint, they did what they could to resolve the issue if possible and they were very flexible with regards to some of my more unusual requests. Also with about four months to go I was interested in moving to another property and they were very flexible with regards to my existing contract. Had I not moved away then I would have continued using ALE, and should I move back I will be using them again.

Straight forward

Having recently sold one and rented a further 2 properties with Ainsworth Lord all within 3 months Deb's, Anthony & Verity have shown great customer focus and a wealth of local knowledge. The sale (full asking price) went through in 24 hours whilst the rentals were bang on the suggested figures and turned over within a month of refurb completion. Definitely a market savvy and customer centric team and, critically, well recommended to others.
