After five appraisals of our property, we appointed FF to sell it. Photographs were dreadful. Communication between agents at the branch is appalling. This led to various 'mix-ups' which delayed the sale. Things would have run more smoothly, had we dealt directly with surveyors, agents ...

We were very happy with the service from Freeman Forman, particularly as they had a change of manager during our negotiations. The new manager John Crump ...

Comment on agent fees
Had said that fees were a little higher than others but assured me he could get the best price possible. They got me ‚£20,000 more than any other agent even suggested putting it on the market for. DEFINITELY worth the extra in fees !!!

Freeman Forman's Battle office's service can only be summarized as inefficient, incompetent and ineffective. We have sold six or seven properties in the last 30 years, both in the UK and abroad, and we have never experienced such a disaster as Freeman Forman's "attempt" to sell ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
Call back when you promise Be truthful with advice, the dodgy saleman tactics are clear they're just that Put offers forward to your client when you receive them.... in this instance it was clear there was a lesser offer competing, but the other buyers could complete marginally faster so they got their commission quicker.... it seemed to be all about when they got their commission which drove their behaviour.Attached Filesnbsp;

Appalling staff member using insulting language when he believed telephone call had ended. Would suggest they ensure phone has been hung up before insulting potential customers. Disgusting behaviour. I would never use or indeed recommend using this branch again....
