AVOID like the plague! On trying to purchase a flat through them, we were constantly chasing for information, told different things each time and eventually had to cancel the sale because the property didn't have allocated parking as advertised. We found out one week before the completion date. The worst thing is that despite telling us they would not allow the property to be sold again with parking considering this information from the seller, they put it back on the market with 'communal parking' straight away. It's as if they were trying to trick us in to buying it and it seems they did the same to the next buyer straight after. In a property to be purchased, 'communal parking' does not exist. You either legally own the space or you don't. When I talked to the Agent and Manager to clarify the situation, both were rude, unhelpful and didn't care about the stress caused, clearly just thinking about how they can trick the next person in to buying it.
We were warned about them and they lived up to the poor expectations- even succeeding that. It's a shame I had to give them one star because they really don't deserve that. Absolute cowboys giving estate agents a bad name.

This is possibly the worst estate agents I've ever come across, namely Duncan Fleming, who lies to you and landlord alike.

What agent could do to change your mind?
If they actually just spoke to us about the issues we had, and actually phoned us back when they said they would. We were left without hot water for 2 weeks as we didn't know how to work the boiler, and we only worked it out from switching different switches all over the house. They're a professional estate agent, not a bad boyfriend, good customer service is NOT hard! We are currently looking to buy a property and they will not be having our custom.Attached Filesnbsp;
