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 market this property (Winner takes all). He clearly didn't appreciate being picked up on this. Secondly he denied valuing the inital sale value and stipulated that it should sell 8 months later at £35k below the original amount that he wrote on the contract! Thirdly DO NOT BUY THE HOME SELLERS PACK FOR £99 + VAT. Amanda Smith informed me that it would boost right move figures. In fact it was mis sold as I had to drive all potential sales myself through my own FACEBOOK!!! It is unclear if this is down to apathy, lack of training or the fact that Amanda needed to lie about how the product / service marketed your home (incidentally that you have to do). They are so trusting in there selling tactics that NOTHING is via email. Its all telephone conversations and Estate Agent double speak. I'm pleased to say that I no longer market my property with this deceitful and distrustful agent. I will add my name for transparency should FH senior management decide to contact me

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

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 ...

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 ...
