I have never had such unprofessional service. They allocate a member of their team to manage your sale but you can never get hold of them. You leave messages and they never call u back.

I used mov8 as they are a fixed price estate agent. From the beginning the schedule was showing my neighbours rotting carport and my front door. They did not offer to reprint this.

For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
