From the outset the experience I had with eMoov was extremely positive. I did deal with several members of staff but from my first telephone enquiry when my call was answered Karun, my fears (I had a few, using an unconventional estate agent was a bit of a leap of faith) were allayed. Karun spent time to talk me through the entire process and then gave me time to think it all through before committing to using the Service. It was so refreshing to deal with an Estate Agent, who did do exactly what they said they would do, when they were asked to do it, without the usual arrogance I had experienced with those of the High Street. I was made to feel throughout the process, that I was in charge and that eMoov were actually working for me rather than me working to get the Estate Agent their commission. During viewings I made a point of talking to my prospective purchasers about the experience they had had with eMoov and they were extremely impressed also. eMoov, whilst not actually carrying out the viewings (they don't do that and I would always do my own viewings anyway) made a point of carefully booking all viewings, emailing purchasers, and texting them to remind them of where to be and when, they were also knowledgeable about my property, gave great feedback and took time to prepare excellent photographs and a very thorough write up. Most impressive was that every time I called eMoov, no matter who answered the phone, they knew who I was and all about where I was in my sales process, I never had to remind or explain a thing. The file on me must have been extremely comprehensive and always up to date. I have to admit, using eMoov made me pretty unpopular with the Estate Agents dealing with my new purchase, apparently (as I was actually told by one very large high street agent) that I would not be viewed as a viable or reliable purchaser and that they would not work hard for me in order to make properties available for me to view! An interesting attitude, considering it would be my money that got them their %, but one that didn't actually surprise me...It sounded a bit like fear to me?! I would not hesitate to use eMoov again, and I recommend them to everyone I speak to.

I'm fascinated by your very helpful insight into the attitude of our high street competitors. To, in effect, obstruct your onward purchase because of their concerns over our growing popularity is really telling. Not to mention rather unprofessional (and indeed this approach by them falls foul of the Property Ombudsman Code of Practice and the Estate Agents Act). Very informative though in terms of the self-protection that is currently evident in the traditional industry. Thanks again. Best wishes in your new home.
