We had trouble dealing with Alex and Akbar from the word go. We found a property that we were interested in however had great difficulty getting in contact with either of them as they would not return our phone calls. We eventually viewed and offered on a property which was accepted, and we proceeded with getting a survey completed. Alex included the wrong information in the sale agreement which held up proceedings with our solicitor.
I became concerned when another agent started advertising the property which we already had a sale agreed upon. When I finally managed to speak to the office they knew nothing about it and claimed they had sole agent rights over the property. After weeks of not hearing anything we received an email from our solicitor saying the vendor's solicitor had been in contact and pulled out of the sale. They had sold the property to someone else. Again, Bairstow Eves claimed to know nothing about it and said they would look into it.
We didn't hear from them for more than a month until Alex had the gall to phone and ask if we were still looking for a property. No explanation, no anything. He then proceeded to be rude to my wife who asked him if he could explain what was going on.
Avoid these shysters at all costs. They don't know what they're doing and due to their fumbling mishandling of our purchase we lost a property plus all the money we'd already spent on the process.

What agent could do to change your mind?
Not made a complete and utter mess of our sale. And, more simply, returned our calls when we were potential customers.Attached Filesnbsp;

Terrible agency. Not that I was aware at the beginning of it but they were racist and incapable of talking to their customers. I have talked to the bank several times about mortgage advising and they wanted a mortgage in principle which I have given them, the bank said they should not have refused us but they did. I have talked to my lawyer and it has said they should of not refused us. when we put an offer we got accepted got send papers and everything at least they could of done helped us but ...

I would strongly advise prospective buyers to avoid Bairstow Eves at all costs due to their incessant lying, incompetence and lack of principle.
We asked questions with regards to the structure of the property we were buying, which were incremental to our decision to purchase ...

We have been unable to view any properties with this agent as they will not make any appointments with us unless we agree to meet with their financial advisor. This is a waste of time for us as we already have a mortgage agreed in ...

Very unprofessional and uncourteous. Did not have the courtesy and professionalism to keep me informed till the last moment. I wasted my time and effort in dealing with this agency and would recommend caution in dealing with them. I would say Avoid them if possible!Attached Filesnbsp;
