Your move made me a counter offer. I accepted. They agreed to take the property off the market. They induced me into acting fast and withheld vital inforation about the property. After i had spent fees, i found out that the property was still being marketed and that it had been put onto auction before my completion date agreed. They only sent my memorandum of sale after i had paid fees and instructed solicitors. I ended up being gazumped but it was ok for them to gamble a commission using my non refundable fees. I kept calling the branch and got no replies. I emailed and got no replies. I made an official complaint over a week ago and have had no acknowledgement or reply. I threatened going to the ombudsman but was told that they are founders of the tpos implying i cannot do much. If you do use this agency - get everything in writting upfront. Find out who is the seller and get them to commit in writting everything about a property. I complained about your move on social media. The replied instantly saying they will investigate. A few days later they deleted the profile and i have still not heard from anyone at your move.
What agent could do to change your mind?
they could have saved the deal or taken me seriously. they could have returned my calls and accepted that they gambled with my money. their staff could have been nicer to talk to and not so patronising and dissmissive.
they could have acted faster and offered to repay my fees because they knew that they lost me the property.
