We wanted to a propert there was another interested. Buyer (an investor a regular buyer with them) he had put in several low offers we only had the chance to put in one offer but it was a serious on and we thought the winning bid as advised the level by estate agent. The manager took our bid and then the investor added a further bid significantly above ours to put to the vendor, guess what we were not asked for best and final offers , we were not communicated with.
After chasing the agent 2 days later we were told from the manager that the house was sold and there was a gentlemans agreement in place as of the day we submitted, our bid was lower because the investor was allowed to put a final offer in and We were not ! uNFAIR and very dodgy !! The vendor has lost out, and so I would never use this agent to buy or sell ever again . Unethical!

What agent could do to change your mind?
The agent should have informed us there was another offer going in from the investor so we had the chance of Best and Final, --- they did not . They should have advised their client of our serious interest and allowed dialogue - they did not . They should have served their vendor better and allowed free enterprise, the investor put in 4 offer 3 rejected we put in one and were ever given the option to rebid on the same day! They did not communicate with us we chased them ! The junior member of staff was brilliant but unavailable and did not make the final decisions very poorly managed !Attached Filesnbsp;

Awful. Awful. Awful. We constantly had to chase the agent for information relating to the property and they ignored questions relating to work promised to be done by the landlord, which was not done. They provided us with an inventory that was wholly incorrect and ...

Manners cost nothing - politeness over the telephone is a must and many in the office require re-training at bridgfords. They believe their client to be the landlord, which is a misnoma. Both tenant and landlord are their client and they should treat them with equal respect.Attached Filesnbsp;
