Avoid these at all costs. Just look at the other reviews. Unfortunately I have a lifetime membership with this pathetic excuse of a company .
Initially, I took out a mortgage using one of their advisors at their subsidiary William H Brown/Sequence. I was misled by the advisor into what I was purchasing and once she was paid, had no interest in me (more interested in you taking their insurances out - also watch put for the whole 'free' lifetime membership, you have to pay a £99 admin charge). I stulidly gave them a second chance when I remortgaged which resulted in me paying a higher tariff with my lender because Connolls Group missed the deadline set. Apparently this wasn't their fault despite being employed by me to manage the process (the amount of time I spent chasing progress, I should have just sorted the mortgage myself). I spent numerous times calling to chase progress but surprisingly none of this was logged when I put a complaint in(which was brushed aside). I've never come across a company that has such little interest in its customers. If you're considering using this pathetic excuse of a company I would highly advise you to reconsider - I have cut up my lifetime membership and will never be using these con artists again.

Good morning Paul,
I have looked at our system here as we are the residential sales office and I cannot find any details so I can only assume your comments are with regards to the Survey & Valuations Team at our Head Office function, and not our office.
Please give me a call on 01525372588 option 1 to discuss this further so we may rectify this issue and get you into contact with the correct office & department.
Many thanks,
Robbie ...
