I visited Ward with my elderly father who wished to sell his house to purchase a bungalow. We told the staff that all communication was to be through me his daughter he did not want to have one agent as he had chosen another on his high street to be joint agents. A valuation was booked with the agent Ann to contact me after to see how we wanted to proceed. The agent visited my Dads house told him he had a lovely house and he needed to sign a form for some photos to be taken. The form was actually a contract for single agency at a massive fee. They marketed the house the next day nearly 20k under a previous valuation a year previous. When I found this out I rang to complain the agent screamed at me down the phone. No effort was made to contact us after this and my father lost the bungalow he was after following stall after stall from Wards and their buyer. At one stage they told the agents selling the bungalow the delay was because my dads house has subsidence which it didn't as the survey had already shown. The manager of the branch Tarkan when I told him they had lost the bungalow said he would go straight to the sellers and sort it out. The sellers branch is in the same street as his he didn't bother. When after untold stress on my father I rang to say we would no longer let them sell our house I was told stick in writing bye. The most incompetent rude agents I have ever dealt with I shall be taken my complaint further though to be honest I don't think they would care less.
What agent could do to change your mind?
The agent could have taken on board what we as the customer actually wanted and when questioned not to resort to shouting at me the customer but actually try to rectify things. The branch manager if he tells me he is walking a hundred yards down the street to another agents to try and rescue a property that we are losing down to his staffs actions could actually do that.
