Haart Enfield is the worst estate agent I have ever been with. When we decided to go with them to sell our property, we were trying to reed the contract but the agent opened it out and was blagging through it so we signed. When she left we realized we signed a sole selling rights contract. I rang the agent asked her if she could change it to sole agents she said yes she came round and wrote on the front you can't sell through any other agent or yourself. I asked her to cross out sole selling rights and put sole agency witch she did on 1 bit of the contract.
We had a few viewings I had to show the people round then they said someone wants to come 8pm at night to view property then changed to 9pm. I was told it would be a man and he's son. At 9:30pm at night get knock on the door - it was three young big men they came in asked many questions and we felt intimidated. I said to my husband what are we paying this agent for, they're sending people round in the middle of the night not even showing them round, no feedback...
As I was still unhappy with the contract I spoke to the manager and told him e that we asked for sole agency he said we don't do sole agent contracts but he would see if they could do us one if not they would cancel the agreement. I went in next day the agent said the manager had spoken to her and she had a sole agent agreement ready. I looked through it thoroughly this time and then signed. She handed a copy to my husband, then we left. When I got home I saw it was a multy agency agreement. With my signature on it. I am 100% sure that I signed a sole agency agreement in the office. The agent told me I didn't. I spoke to the manager and he said I have a copy of the one you signed, it had my signature on it. What I realized she had done was to signed the one in the office but she gave me another agreement with my signature on it and made out I signed that on that day. I was so angry, told them I want them to terminate the agreement. The manager wrote out a letter saying that he releases us from the agreement but he conveniently put the wrong date that the agreement was signed. I rang up the office and was told manager is conveniently on annual leave for 2 weeks and the agent who was dealing with us is constantly busy and avoiding my call.
All I can say the stress it has put us through is immense now we are scarred to go with another agent in case we get same problem. Also because we signed sole selling rights agreement we can't sell it even 6 months after the agreement has finished because they would still be entitled to there fees. We signed a 16 week contract. My advice to anybody wanting to sell your property do not go with haarts. Reed through the agreement thoroughly. And never do more than 4 weeks contract with them in case you're not happy. I think maybe in the future we will try and sell ourselves.
