This is the same review your partner put on Google. I explained on that review. That we were not conducting the viewing as it was arranged with the vendor. As agents we have done nothing at all wrong. We can’t be held responsible if a vendor does not answer the door. The office was closed when you said you were ringing, no messages were left on our answerphone, and no e mails were received from you. The first we knew about the viewing was on Tuesday when my staff called you for feedback. Thi ...

I am surprised by your slanderous comments regarding my company. My staff were both polite and professional in all dealings with you. You made an offer on a property which was put forward to the seller. The seller accepted your offer before deciding to reject it in favour of a higher offer from another party who had viewed the property previously. We did not at any time have any legal contract in place with you. As agents we work on behalf of the vendor and are duty bound to put all offer ...

Hi Kerry as explained on the phone, the viewing was being carried out by the vendor not ourselves. The vendor confirmed the appointment with us, we even called on the day to make sure it was still going ahead which was again confirmed. When you initially called to view the property my staff said they would get back to you once we had spoken to the vendor. The reason It took a couple of days to get back to you was we were waiting on a call from the vendor to confirm the appointment. We di ...

I am sorry to hear that your staff is either not capable of handling information correctly or to cowardly to convey information to you, but the price you were trying to sell my property at was not only deemed as appropriate by your staff initially, but was also not set by me, but a independant party surveyor who is a member of the RICS, the Royal Institution of Charter Surveyors. Since you are not a member of the RICS you are actually less qualified to rate the price of the property than the ...

Dali, we paid your rent to you in full every month, It was explained to you that the tenant paid every four weeks which meant over 12 months you would have received 13 payments so would have received the full years rent. I hope you are now clear on this. We manage hundreds of properties on behalf of landlords and have never not paid what is due. ...
