I was approached by Taylors Estate agents to purchase a property in Luton. I was originally looking for a nice apartment for myself. I was looking at different options but then Taylors showed me 2 bed apartment that was repossesed by the bank and currently on sale at a very attractive price. I never dealt with repossession houses before but estate agent convinced me that it's "almost the same" as usual sale and all will be fine. So I put forward the price and applied for a mortgage. After my offer was accepted, I was informed by Taylors that we have only 24 days to exchange the contracts! So all should be done ASAP. Guess what? I have arranged for conveyancing, and mortgage and bank valuation in less than 3 weeks, by paiyng higher fees for the speed. 4 days before valuation I've got a call from agents saying that seller has raised the price! But they are confident I will get this apartment if I can give a bit higher price. I raised it by £2k. 1 day later they said that another buyer is paying more.And then another 2k, & again 2k... No one cared that my offer was accepted earlier, solicitors instructed and mortgage approved. I was never told before thag the agent has no exclusivity over selling if this property. In 4 days, asking price went up by £10,000!! I was shocked. 1 day before banks valuation, I was left with no final offer confirmed by the agents and taylors offered me to go ahead with valuation, pay extra £350, and wait if my final price is accepted. §×-x? They never mentioned that my credit rating will go down should the sale fall through after banks valuation , and buyer ends up loosing credit rating! I wasted so much time, money and efforts for something which was rather auction advertised by tailors as '"standard easy sale". Almost lost my credit rating and lost £800 on legal fees. Never ever go with them. They would tell yiu anything to secure the deal, but would never care about what was initially agreed. They would change terms and never explain the risks involved. Don't use them! Save your time and money!

Terrible Experience – Poor Communication & Unprofessionalism! I had an extremely disappointing experience with Tailors Estate Agents.

I have moved several times and Taylor's proved to be, by far, the worst agent I have used. A staff member made an offer on my house, well below asking price, and a buyer who went in to the office within 24hours of the staff offer to say he would pay the full asking price was told...

Comments on Agent Fees
Outrageous. Communucation was rare enough but on those ocassions when someone did contact me to keep informed of progress they were always at least four hours behind my solicitor.

When we spoke to Ashley we asked for some additional terms to be added to the tenancy agreement. We were told we cannot change the agreement but we can add additional terms which they would get the tenant to sign before they move in. They didn't do this. And now according to their manger Lucinda... Read Full Review
What agent could do to change your mind?
After complaining they offered a tiny amount of compensation and took over 6 months to get back to us. They have out right lied on their response.
Comments on Agent Fees
Not worth it. They charge the same as the other local estate agents however their services are pathetic.

Branch dealing with sales run by John Cyganek is a complete joke. Unprofessional, unorganised and out of compliance with FSCA (awaiting FSCA letter). The manner in which customers were spoken to was an absolute disgrace, rude and undermining. An offer was not put forward to the... Read Full Review
