The main issues were;
Advising to put the property on the market at £10,000 less than (we achieved OUR asking price in 6 days). With a flat rate, I assume a quick sale is in the estate agents best interest.

Failing to communicate with both selling parties (who were separated) via email. Despite being reminded on numerous occasions.

Contacting (only one of us) via telephone to tell us we have failed to complete documents (these documents had not actually been posted yet by the solicitors).

Despite paying out £1200 for the services being spoken to unprofessionally.

Overall disappointed in their service, with a lack of customer care, when it came to the sellers, poor communication and poor valuation advice I would NOT recommend this estate agent.
Comment on agent fees
For the lack of service and ill-advised valuation, the service is overpriced.

What agent could do to change your mind?
The agent could have simply laid out every cost and delay to us in written form at the very start of the process and that way we woudl have been prepared for all this.

Martin & Co Leicester does not normally respond to comments on internet forums. We have a formal written complaints process, and anyone remaining dissatisfied once this is exhausted may take their complaint to the Property Ombudsman (www.tpos.co.uk) who will independently investigate it and offer an opinion which is binding upon us. We believe that where genuine complaints are concerned this is far more professional and productive for both parties. However in light of the unauthorised commen ...
