They carried out our Home report. Not only is it full of standard clauses which don't refer to my property, they never completed the amended survey.

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 ...

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.
