I tried to give two stars; however, we are very disappointed in the way Perry Bishop managed a situation with us as potential buyers.
We were allowed to view a property that had had a chain come back together just two days prior, and despite knowing this was the case, we were not told ahead of time nor whilst there for the viewing.
We received a call from the estate agent on the Monday after our Saturday viewing explaining the situation, without apology, and saying that if we wanted to make an offer we would need to do so by 4pm the same day. We did and were told it was not high enough to break the chain that had just come back together. We offered again - asking price and were told we could have until Wednesday to finalise the bottom of our chain. We did this all whilst trying to manage a full work day for both of us.
Wednesday comes - there is no call. But we had been negotiating lowering our price for our buyers to accept on their house to meet these incredible, last minute demands. Which they would have known should they have bothered to check in with the actual potential buyers. I call midday on Thursday to check in as hadn't heard from Perry Bishop. Oh yes - the agent was on holiday Wednesday afternoon and had her colleague filling in. We were bluntly told that the vendors had decided to stick with the original chain as we hadn't tied ours up yet.
We truly believe that we were just used to drive up the other buyers' offer and they had no intention of switching chains.
Terribly unimpressed and left with a bad taste in our mouths.
We definitely will not be working with Perry Bishop in any capacity in the future.
