Complete rogues, I would never use Romans again for selling. They will give you the highest valuation so that you obviously sign up with them, then a week later call you to say that you need to drop the price - surely that amounts to ...

Every customer would expect polite professional behaviour. When dealing with the Bracknell Romans Sales Team one receives rude, condescending and dismissive behaviour. Contradicting content/feedback on queries depending with whom you are speaking with. There is a clear drop of customer focus once a 'deal' ...
