Avoid at all costs, Minors and Brady are the most dishonest and untrustworthy company I have ever come across.
Selling our house through them and the list of issues is endless, here are some highlights;
1. Lost our house keys and didn’t tell us for almost two weeks. Acted like this was no big deal, and just offered to get a new key cut. They did replace the locks but only when we insisted on this. A huge security issue and when questioned about the procedure for keeping keys safe it was made clear they do not have one.
2. House was continually left unlocked after viewings, often for the whole day until we returned from work in the evening. Again they acted like this wasn’t an issue as “there was no break in reported”.
3. Made additional copies of our keys without our knowledge or consent. When we questioned why the copies had been made they could not / would not give us a reason why. If it was for a honest reason I’m sure they would have just told us. We had to get our locks changed AGAIN this time at our own expense.
4. On two separate occasions they reduced the asking price of our house without our permission. The first we knew of it was when we saw the change on Rightmove! They changed it back as soon as we requested but it should never have happened in the first place.
5. They arranged a meeting between our buyer and their mortgage advisor to take place at our house, without our knowledge. Just turned up on the doorstep and seemed very offended when we would not let them use our house as a meeting space.
6. Items in our house were damaged and moved. Whilst this could have been cause by a client viewing it, it is the agent’s responsibility to ensure this does not happen.
7. Communication throughout has been absolutely dire and we are either told bare face lies or they just flat out refuse to answer our questions. Jamie Minors, the owner, would not even discuss the issues with me, clearly they can’t even come up with an excuse for their unprofessionalism.
8. Funny how they continually pressured us to reduce, and then when we took the house off the market we suddenly got an offer from someone who had never even viewed the house but happened to be friends with staff at Minors & Brady, what a strange coincidence.
9. One of their agents visited our property without our knowledge when we weren’t there and was looking in the windows and entered the garden. We then received a very strange phone call from them where they admitted to being there. This was 6 months after we had stopped viewings with them and they no longer had a key or any reason to be there. When questioned why they were there, they refused to answer.
We are currently taking legal advice and speaking with the property ombudsman regarding an even more serious issue than the above but have been advised not to publicly discuss this matter whilst taking legal action.
Jamie, I would love to discuss these issues with you, as I have been trying to for several months now. If you can man up enough to have a mature, professional conversation then you have my contact details, hope to hear from you soon!
