From start to finish, pure disappointment and frustration.
- 4 days to get the house online. I asked for Thursday, the house was released Friday after 4pm
- Pictures were very amateur and didn't bring the best of my house. I am an amateur photographer and could have done a better job. During their valuation, I was told they would bring a photographer and showed me some glossy leaflet. The reality was different !
- I asked for some pictures to be replaced which they did - appointment was at 11am, got delayed by more than an hour.
- The description of the house was awful - language and spelling mistakes, with no commercial tone to it. My first language is not English and I could spot the errors. Total lack of diligence.
- No room dimensions included, not even in the floor plan. God knows how people can judge space with that.
- I sent the updated description and provided all the dimensions so the websites could be updated. That took another few days to get amended, dropping altogether the whole section on the room dimensions I had issued. Up to this point I still didn't see the handouts.
- After a month and no viewing arranged, the branch manager offered to provide professional pictures and an updated floor plans, this time with dimensions. His excuse for not having much interest was the market being slow. I very much doubted it was the case. I reminded him I hadn't received a copy of the house handouts...
- A week later, a viewing was organised which resulted in an offer. Declined as too low.
- A house with a similar layout but with only 1 off road parking space + car port ( I have two and carport) and no front garden came on the market and got sold within 10 days and after the first viewing. Two more in the same development also had offers on them.
So I very much doubt there was an issue with the market, but more with their lack of ability to go and look for potential buyers and I don't think they reach far enough as they don't have much media coverage to spread their reach further out.
I decided to take my house off the market before the end of the contract and still never saw sight of those handouts !
Don't waste your time with them. I have now to postpone my plans to move after Easter to perhaps the summer once I put my house back on the market ... And with another agent !
