As per the review by "Alan". I too had a terrible experience with Morris Dibben.
I had to supply them with pictures I had taken approximately 6 years ago of various rooms as their "sales staff" couldnt be bothered to go round and take fresh pictures.
The pictures they took were terrible and out of focus, and after 6 weeks of hardly any interest I went to another Agent "Goadsby" who took fantastic pictures and were most helpful.
Once Morris Dibben were told I was going to use another Agent as well surprisingly I had five viewings that week and also a couple of offers. Now isnt that strange that until that point I had received very little interest in the property (still with their pictures im not surprised).
Also, beware they use a third party for all of their admin regarding selling and purchasing of properties, which was a nightmare as no one in the branch had a clue what was going on.
I have now received THREE customer surveys to complete on how wonderful their service was, and explained all of the above and MORE I even gave them my name address and contact details but no one bothered to call me.... says it all really.
All in all DO NOT USE THIS PEOPLE left a very bad taste in my mouth.

Very Unprofessional Agency and its agents.
There's plenty more agents who will provide a proper service in this industry.
Choose wisely or you will be disappointed.
Anais is one particular very rude agent.
