“Disappointing and unprofessional...”

I appointed Your Move after they had managed to sell another property on my street relatively quickly but after appointing them I found them unprofessional and regret not undertaking further research prior to appointing an agent.

On my few visits to their Dudley office the radio was playing loudly, desks were a mess, and the staff were drinking cans of pop. I felt rushed to sign the contracts and leave without being given the opportunity to talk or read through the extensive contracts.

I informed them repeatedly that I was not able to undertake daytime viewings in the week as I work full time 9-5, and yet almost everytime I was contacted regarding a potential viewing they had suggested a mid-afternoon mid-week viewing.

I asked them if they could provide my mobile number to potential viewers so I could be contacted should there be any issues, particularly given that most of my viewings were outside of office hours. This obviously never happened and on a few occasions I had no shows. It was nearly a 3 hour round trip from my new property (I had moved out) so this was obviously extremely frustrating and a waste of my time that could potentially have been easily avoided. I ultimately gave the agent a key to allow them to undertake viewings (once the contract changed so I would not have to pay per viewing). I provided detailed instructions of the procedure to deactivate the house alarm alongside other things. Prior to the first viewing I received a call asking how to deacitvate the alarm. I had a similar call for at least one subsequent viewing.

I had people turning up for veiwings asking basic questions that they should have been informed about initially. In one instance the viewer hadn't been told the property was leasehold and was immediately no longer interested. On a couple of other occasions the viewer had not been informed the property was being sold (at that time) through the modern method of auction and how that works from a buyers perspective. These were fundamental elements of the sale of the property and should have been conveyed to interested parties before anything else. I basically wasted a lot of time travelling to do viewings for people who would not have been interested if they had been given the proper information, or travelling for viewings where people had just not turned up.

As part of the marketing package I had paid for I was meant to have a for sale board erected outside my property. After a couple of weeks this still hadn't been installed so I called the branch who confirmed they'd chase this. After another couple of weeks still no board so I called again and was told they were ordering a board as we spoke. Still no board appeared. Only once I actually next had an opportunity to visit the branch and was sitting face to face, which was a few months into the sale, did they actually resolve this.

I had one sale fall through (no fault of the agent) and asked the agent to give me a few days to think over my next steps with regards to marketing the property. Despite this instruction the agent went ahead to show a new interested party around the property. This person ultimately put in an offer (and has since completed purchase of the property) but I felt rushed into accepting it at the time due to the actions of the agents.

The property had been vacant for a number of months during the sale process. On one of my visits to check up on the property I found the alarm had been deactivated. I spoke to the neighbour and found out the alarm had been going off, and they had rung the agent who had attended to turn off the alarm. I was not contacted at any point to be told this had occured or that there was an issue with the alarm that needed resolving.

In early May 2020 we were suddenly chased by the agent stating there was a desire to complete the sale within a couple of weeks. This was despite restrictions being in place at the time relating to the Coronavirus pandemic meaning that it was extremely unlikely any party could move house unless there were exceptional circumstances. My solicitor asked for clarity regarding this as there were still several enquiries outstanding at the time and we received a response from the agent stating the reasons for the pressure to complete were none of our concern. Frankly both rude and extremely unhelpful.

I am obviously pleased that my property is now sold but I will definitely be researching agents more thoroughly the next time I move.

For the amount I paid you expect the agent to take on board the information you provide them. They made life more difficult for themselves by not doing so, and in the process made the the whole process more stressful and frustrating than it needed to be.

And it's easy to read my review as being ungrateful for them finding another buyer, but that is without any context. The original sale fell through due to issues outside of my control relating to the landlord and the lease and there was a high chance any subsequent sale would follow the same path. I made it clear I wanted a little time to assess my options as I had to decide whether to pull the sale completely and take the landlord to court, or potentially waste another few months pursuing another sale that had a high change of falling through. (I genuinely believe it would have if not for the lack of scrutiny afforded by delays caused by the Coronavirus lockdown). And I wouldn't class throwing hundreds of pounds at an empty property every month as simply "counting pennies".

The agents were the one's breathing down my neck in pursuit of their fee. I did not once complain about their service throughout the sale. They've got their fee now and I have every right to air my complaints.

To be quite frank with you Rob, having read this review in its entirety it sounds as if you went above and beyond to make Your Moves life a living hell... no viewings in normal house, refused to give them a key to do viewings because you wanted to count pennies and then berate them for finding another buyer quickly when they no doubt already had this persons details on record, having previously turned them away due to the original sale?

You realise Agents work a lot smoother when they don't have clients breathe down their necks to the point they can't even sell your house without you wanting to complain and put in a 1 star review, reflecting poorly on them for literally doing the job their paid to do...

Shame on you.
