I had my house up for sale with Keith Pattinsons for a good year and a half with every sale falling through, it failed to sell at auction. After moving to another agents, it sold within 24 hours and was completed within 4 weeks.
Keith Pattinsons threatened legal action and charged £1.5k for the sale, despite it being sold through another agent as the couple who bought were introduced by them but refused to see it through with them due to their incompetence. They paid 10k more through the second agent than they offered through Pattinsons. The staff over the telephone at head office lied continuously and encouraged me to lie to mortgage lenders and insurance companies which I refused to do whilst threatenting legal action immediately with no compassion or understanding. If I could go back in time, I would and NEVER use them - I suggest you avoid at all costs.

I knew how stressful selling a house could be so when Michael came out to my house I decided to take their "all inclusive" package for £2750.00 + VAT therefore £3300.00 as this was inclusive of solicitor fees and most other costs incurred when selling your property.

Their job and helped in the fact that they had taken full payment and also the solicitor had charged me as well, instead of telling me it's not their problem.Attached Filesnbsp;
Comment on agent fees
Highway robbery, I would have been happy to pay if they had did what they said they would do. In reality they got paid for very little work or effort by them.

No fees information available
Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
Complaints Procedure
No procedure available.
I further note your comments made with regards to mortgage lenders and insurance companies? I can confirm that as agent we do not have any involvement in these particular areas and would refute your accusations made.
It is unfortunate that you have decided to air your grievances in the public domain rather than opting to use our formal complaints procedure/Ombudsman Scheme as every complaint is reviewed individually.
