Overall, Gascoigne Pees have been approachable and supportive during my house purchase. They were particularly strong with helping me submit and negotiate my offer. I would like to commend Sophie Major for her flexibility when visiting the flat, responding to queries etc and her transparency - I always knew she was telling me everything she knew and she kept me updated.

My journey has not been easy and one thing I would say Gascoigne Pees could have been better at was taking lead on managing the 6 different parties involved with my shared ownership purchase (solicitors, HA, Barratts, Home Ground etc). I felt like I was the one coordinating it all and using initiative to get things moving. For example, I contacted the council and used their contacts to chase the HA which sped things up.

I really like Gascoigne Pees and the people (Sophie and Chris!) who work there as I could tell they cared and would help me if I needed them. However, because I want you guys to do well I feel I need to say that as an Estate Agent you need to ensure your role is central throughout. At times, I felt I was keeping you in the loop out of courtesy and it felt like, after the offer was accepted, it was a case of everyone else liaising directly with each other with you guys being left out. This by no means a criticism of Gascoigne Pees specifically but I wanted to share this view to help you.

One final thing would be that perhaps you could have a stronger relationship with the housing association - Key Workers. I certainly understand that Key Workers were a huge challenge for you (!) but I think there was a lot of confusion and unknowns which added to the delays and complications. It seemed like you struggled to get hold of them and didn't have many contacts. You didn't seem to know their processes and even little things like the keys were confusion. Again, I'm not criticising here because I know the HA were a nightmare to work with but these relationships could be improved.
