I made an offer of the full asking price a garage on Westway Court in Preston Lancashire, The property was advertised as freehold, and i asked the agent to confirm of which she said it was freehold, My offer was accepted and i started to look a solicitor to complete as fast as possible , whilst waiting i did a quick land registry search, and the property come up leasehold and with a freehold, i phoned the agents and over the phone the agent asked another lady working there what was the title, and she said definatly freehold, so i instructed my solicitor to proceed , but telling him what i found out at land registery, im very lucky to have used a local firm i have dealt with in the past, to cut story short this property was leasehold, with the estate managment company holding the freehold, and that there was that many clauses in the lease it is not worth buying, the upkeep would have been a proportion amount the whole estate, also the person selling was not the legal registered owner, when i phoned and spoke to the agent Mrs Fowler she said " i told you that you have to do your own checks confirm " on my mothers life she never said this, the truth was twisted and that they are not bothered the mislead with the advertising , i therefore sent them my solicitors cost througth mis repesentaion , and give a due date of which is up, i could proceed through small claims but this company are really not worth my time, this review is more value than £140 of which was very cheap and lucky that my solicitor found the info out on the first day, not only do this company mislead what they are selling, they then add a clause in there contract that take what they tell you with a pinch of salt, totally unprofessional , and to top it all they try and twist what they have said to make you look the nasty one, they have now changed the garage to leashold at my expense doing there job them, they was not sure of the title they should have said they dont know, trust this company at your own risk, dreadful service from Mrs Fowler of Dewhurst Homes
