I used Gascoigne Pees to sell my elderly mothers house & to purchase a flat. We agreed an asking price for my mothers three bedroom house & the agent went away to start sale proceedings, before the house had even gone on the market the agent rang me & said that we should drop the price by £50,000 I'm sure he suggested this because the people who's flat mum was buying were looking for a 3 bedroom house & had they requested a viewing of mums house the agent wanted us to drop the price so that they may put in an offer, we didn't drop the price & the house was sold to someone else for £5,000 less than the asking price. When my mother went to view the flat, she like it & the agent told her to put an offer in of £10,000 over the asking price, which she did, what they didn't tell her was that the flat had been on the market for over six months & they had reduced the price because it was not selling. They took advantage of a 92 year old lady which is appaling. I would never ever use Gascogine Pees again, or the solicitors that they instructed to handle the sale & purchase as they are all totally incompetent.
Comment on agent fees
I have no idea how much the agents fees are because the solicitor that Gasgoine Pees instructed will not send my mother the balance for the sale of her house & we have not received a break down of the fees, despite requesting them several times,
