Horrific company. Actively encourage & facilitate gazumping with their policies. Many other local agents are much more professional and guide their vendors - to act with a level of fairness & decency at least! It’s 2020 not the 90s where this agency are very firmly stuck!
I viewed a property hours before the property was even marketed or ‘live’ online. Assured I was ‘first to see it.’ I made an offer BEFORE I HAD EVEN COMPLETED THE VIEWING!!! The next morning my offer was accepted by vendor, I submitted mortgage offer in principle , all my details, solicitor details , etc. Basically jumped through the hoops & demands this agent requested. I took a day off work to do this. BUT they still continued to accept viewings! Even though they knew I’d dropped all other properties I was interested in, to focus on this one. A mortgage lender will only offer on ONE property at a time. So these agents knew I was 100% motivated, committed & genuine!
All my information was submitted within 18hrs of viewing property. Yet *5 DAYS* later they accepted another (higher) offer. Which I then matched.
BUT somehow this mysterious new buyer apparently has a confirmed mortgage offer within 18hrs of their offer, and I’m then informed I’m out of running as ‘this buyer will match ANY offer you make.’ How strange?! How does this buyer or agent know the limit of what I COULD OFFER! :))))
So I wasn’t even given any option and as I was speaking to the ‘manager’ I logged in online on my phone to check the property - it was was already displaying ‘sold STC.’ ... very suspicious, underhand and lacking ethics!
Avoid the heartache DO NOT even waste your time with this unethical bunch! There are so many better and more ethical agents in the area! Avoid !
