Would you trust a company where the own Director's moral compass doesn't point due north? Wastes time and money of first time buyers?? Well this is what happened to us.... We discovered a property which we loved. Like all first time buyers we had a budget and negotiated until we finally reached an agreed price for the property (£5k under the asking price as it needed some minor work). The house was taken off the market and proceedings started. We discovered at this point that the Seller was infact the Director of Sanderson James. We thought on hearing this it would make for a swift and easy transaction.....far from it!. We managed to get our mortgage application accepted and searches (nearly completed) all within 4 weeks (so that we could meet the deadline for review of Stamp Duty). We were asked to provide proof of our mortgage application, which we did. Whilst everything was moving well on our side we found ourselves constantly chasing as the Director's Solicitors had not been forthcoming with any documentation. With only around 4 weeks to go until completion we received a call from Dougie advising that the Director now believes he can get more money for the property after speaking to "Neighbours" so the house was to be put back on the market for £10k more than we agreed on. This was a mere 6-8 weeks from when it was first put on the market....so why all of a sudden was the property worth £10k more?? We asked for 24 hours grace before putting it back on the market to see if we could get another viewing of the property with Parents for a second opinion. We were granted this. We were then told that there was another buyer interested who the Director knows and they had offered £235k so we'd have to beat that offer. Dougie had confirmed at this time that they had not had direct contact with this supposed other buyer - the Director was dealing with them directly. Though devastated and needing to raise more money out of a tight budget, we agreed to match the offer of £235k as we were already so close to completion. This was put back to the Vendor and in the meantime ,whilst he was reviewing these two generous offers, the property was put back on the market. You do have to question at this point why would you put a property back on the market when you have two potential buyers? Seems a little suspicious does it not? To put a long story short we are fully aware that what he has done is technically not illegal however it is highly immoral and rarely done. We have no idea whether this other buyer exists or not but either way we were disgusted in how we were treated and how this company conducts their business. We bent over backwards to try to get a swift sale pushed through and even offered the new asking price (£10k more than we agreed!) which STILL wasn't good enough. Now, I will say that we have nothing bad to say about Dougie who kept us informed the whole way through however this is a company who we'd be reluctant to ever deal with again.
