Sadly, an agency that is dishonest and not necessarily ethical in its dealings. I happened to deal with this agency a few months ago, and made an offer to purchase a house, which was then accepted by the vendor. I then set in motion my conveyancing and mortgaging arrangements, but had to go overseas just for a few days, with the full knowledge of the vendor and the real estate agency. In the meantime however (just a couple of days later), the estate agency persuaded the vendor to accept an alternative offer from another buyer (presumably because the alternative offer did not involve any mortgage and the agency personnel could make their commission more quickly?). This was despite the fact the vendor was still keen to sell the house to me due to the commitment they had given me, but they were pretty much browbeaten into reneging on the agreement. This is not an estate agent that respects agreements (regardless of whether it is verbal or written), and it is certainly not one I will want to deal with in the future.

Shut down. After seeing the reviews above, I think its common for this company to fall short of providing a good service. If the good reviews are from genuine people, then I believe the odd good worker exists in their ranks.
