Today my wife and I had the misfortune to try and view a property advertised for sale in Southport by Farrell and Heyworth. we made a formal appointment, and even received a text message at 11.15am, confirming the date and time of the appointment at 11.30am!!
We waited until 11.45, then decided to phone the local office. my wife spoke to someone in the office, who could not explain what had happened, and proceeded to accidentally cut the connection with my wife. He did fotunately phone back and apologised, and then told us that they no longer had the keys to the property, as the keys had been given to the other estate agent, whose sale board was also displayed at the property!!
I cannot begin to think why this would happen - could incompetence have something to do with it?????

If this is normal practice, then whatever they charge it's too much.

From the outset there was a deceitful undertone with this Estate Agent. Initially when Dewi Caughter drafted the contract he left in the the inital 16 week sale period. I was explicit in that no period would be needed as they were the second agent to ...

Dear Mrs Rimmer,
Thank you for taking the time to draw to our attention that some of our historic marketing material is still in circulation. We closed our Birkdale branch some years ago and operate in the area from our branch in Southport. You are also quite correct that we have 18 branches in our network rather than 21. We're sorry you have experienced any inconvenience.
We would recommend that anyone wishing to check the address or opening hours for one our branches goes to www.farrellhe ...

Incompetent team.
Spoke to Chris regarding a viewing. I had earlier sent a request for a viewing and received a reply back saying they would speak to the vendor and get back to me. They didn't. Clearly didn't want my business. I had left it ...

Dear Mrs Henderson,
We are sorry if any inconvenience has been caused to your self due to your difficulties in attending our open house viewing.
As per our clients instructions we held an open house and asked all interested parties to contact the office prior to the viewing to register and book their time slot.
All pre-registrants were called that morning to confirm their viewing and time slot. 7 Viewings took place and were conducted by myself as branch manager.
I have been unab ...
