Dear Michelle, It is regrettable that your opinion of our service did not match the high standards which we at HDG strive to maintain. Whilst we fully appreciate the frustration at the lack of dialog with HDG post valuation, we must reiterate that we were acting for our lender client, to whom we report directly. We are contractually obliged to report to them and them only in these situations, hence why we advised to submit any queries direct to them for our attention. We hope the above ...

Comment on agent fees
The agent was more expensive than alternatives. I used them on recommendation from my Estste Agent. In retrospect I made a mistake and should have used an agent of my own choosing.

He assured me that this was standard procedure and that we would get a feeding frenzy and go to a closing date (which we did not as COVID had hit the area really bad as it is mainly buy to let for student accommodation. A similar property in my area without gas central heating and on the top floor got a £10k increase ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
In the current housing market all help and assistance should be made readily available from all parties who provide services especially on simple aspects. If you treat clients and customers well then your company and services will develop positively. Unfortunately this company are not customer driven and I have nothing but negative comments to make about the services. Very poor indeed.
