In August 2018 I inquired about a property I found on Rightmove that was being sold through Mark Ashley and Company. A colleague at the estate agent advised me that this property had been sold, however they had just released a new property to the market, in a similar location and condition, which was not yet listed on their website and Rightmove etc. I asked to book a visit to the property and they advised they would get hold of the vendor to arrange.
After hearing nothing for several days I contacted Mark Ashley again to chase, only to find that they 'couldn't get hold of the vendor'. After a few more days of waiting and chasing, Mark Ashley stopped replying to my emails and calls. I finally went over to the property to find that not only was it vacant, it had been sold by Purplebricks... in JANUARY 2018! After looking back on Rightmove on their sold history I found the original listing with Purplebricks - Mark Ashley had stolen their photos and used them to create their own, fake listing. When I emailed and confronted Mark Ashley about it they said 'the vendor didn't tell us that they had sold the property through another agent - but here's another house we have!' So the vendor hadn't been in contact with them since January 2018 and they hadn't questioned it? or contacted the vendor? Complete rubbish. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
