As a buyer, dealing with Kings wasn't particularly pleasant.
Having been in the property market for a number of months it appeared that Kings overvalue property by some margin. We tried to purchase one property off them that our RICS valuer confirmed was not worth anywhere near what the asking price was, and similarly we've seen a house with another agent that was listed with Kings immediately prior for a considerable amount more. I assume this is a tactic to hook vendors in promising them a quick sale at a high price with a low commission.
During the sale process the (I presume inexperienced) agent was very patronising, telling me all sorts of fairytales and doing everything possible to get an increased price for the vendor. This in itself isn't unusual but it was the manner in which it was done that told me all I needed to know about this outfit, especially compared to another local estate agent who were the complete opposite and didn't make my skin crawl.
When we, as responsible buyers, got a survey done and subsequently found lots of issues that meant the asking price needed to be renegotiated, kings responded with lots of excuses as to why this was a bad idea and eventually our sale fell through.
After this I stopped wasting my time viewing properties with Kings and took my business to a proper estate agent and am now happily looking forward to a new home. I will actively avoid this agent in future based on my experience.
