I'm a chain free buyer and was interested in a property : half cash , half mortgage. The property I was interested in was listed by Church hawes Burnham office but they and the sellers kept it secret that another party had put in an offer which was accepted but the estate agent and sellers kept the property on the market due to the accepted offer was in a chain and not gone to sold subject to contract I viewed , put in a reasonable offer to be immediately told of the other party who by this time had gone sold subject to contract. the estate agent then immediately stated it's going to higher offer in so now going to best and final. I went full price and was outbid. The estate agent then contacted my broker and I stating we can bid again , despite the best and final , which I declined , I'm ok about losing out as not over paying a property and estate agent valued it at. The property then about 3 weeks later went back on the market. I made an enquiry first thing Monday morning at 9.30am . Church hawes Burnham on crouch , on the same property informed me the same person wanted it again. I said that's ok they can have it . I was pushed by church hawes to place an offer 4 times during the phone conversation. Each time I said no..they can have it. About 30 mins later I got a voicemail to call their office. In the afternoon I got a voicemail to call them. At 3.15 I called them to why 2 voicemails to which got told the person had just pulled out If just pulled out then why voicemails earlier in morning to call them , just pressure selling and I feel lies, dishonesty (FOMO : fear of missing out ) Seem very suspicious of church hawes tactics by church and hawes especially the manager Nathan. The property was on the market on 06062025 yet funnily went back on the market on right move at the date which is not under the removal from right move to rejoin under a date within a certain time frame. The property has now been pulled from the market not selling from being on the market original date of 06062025 ....6 months and guess what no sale because of greedy sellers and estate agents and lack of transparency, trust , dishonesty Church hawes Burnham are aware as I sent them an email . I will never deal as a buyer on any property ever from church hawes Burnham branch. Due to the lies, deceipt, dishonest low level tactics& lack of transparency And from looking at sites about this branch ...it's not the 1st time either.
