Horrible, horrible experience with this agency. DO NOT RENT out of them. 8 weeks and still deposit not returned, excess rent not paid back. No communication, not responding to emails. Be very careful with this agency....

Unfortunately I have no option but to give a poor feedback on the recent sale of my property.
Firstly numerous pairs of feet walked through my property & feedback was all similar, stating lack of outside space/parking/bedrooms in basement being an issue, if indeed ...

Comment on agent fees
I received a token reduction when buyer number two pulled out however the fees that were finally exchanged were in my view disgustingly high for the amount of actual work that was done to get me to a completed sale. Most of the info I sought myself and informed the branch and solicitors

If you are looking for an agent to mis-manage your letting property, * your tenants about and be generally ** at everything then these are your people. Typical disorganised corporate rubbish. Go with an independent and save yourselves a fortune in money and stress....

If you put yourselves in the shoes of the owner of the house, if someone has an offer accepted on a property and then immediately comes back with another offer of £2,000 less would you sell your property to them? How long until they again reduce their offer later on down the line?
Sounds to me like another buyer who thinks they are gold dust and that everyone should bow down to their demands.
I would see that ward and partners was acting for the owner of the home and trying to get the b ...
