Ignorance at the highest level. Further to viewing a property for sale In Burton yesterday I rand and spoke to Annie. The purpose of my call was to make an offer to purchase the house. I started my conversation saying just this I would like to make an offer but the offer will be based on the following ................. This is when the conversation spiralled out of control due to Annie disagreeing with everything I was saying and challenging me at every opportunity. I consistently requested I be allowed to finish my sentence. Eventually we reached a point of no return on this phone call WHY? Because the phone was put down on me. Two minutes later my phone rang Annie was not sure what happened on the last call? I know exactly what happened, you hung up on me you unprofessional individual. Anyhow keen to get my offer in to this unbelievable estate agent I continued with the previous conversation. Trying to explain the reasons for my offer not being the asking price ( I had not at this stage managed to get to informing Annie of my figure) sadly I never did get my figure across because I was constantly interrupted, challenged, informed how it was Annie's job to get the highest figure for her client. Of course I am of the intelligence level to know all of this, I also understand that the negotiation of selling/ purchasing a property is or should be a two way process. The communication I was experiencing was never going to become that so without putting my offer forward Iinformed Annie that I would be taking my money elsewhere. I have two more viewings this coming week on houses in the same area as the one being discussed. How unfortunate that the vendors of my original property chose Nicolous Humphries to sell their house. They are not being given the opportunity to consider offers for themselves . Annie is making the decision for them or in this case scuppering potential offers by acting in such an unprofessional manner. Please may I suggest you listen to potential purchasers regardless of whether or not you agree with what they are saying. The buyer has a right to dictate their agenda regardless of the fact that the seller may not accept it. Certainly in this case you acted inappropriately. You still. Do not know what my offer was. It may have resulted in a sale but we will never know. My advice to anyone selling their property AVOID NICOLOUS HUMPHRIES and choose a more professional agent where the staff are trained in the art of actually listening to them and furthering potential purchasing offers by negotiation and not dictation.

1 star is too many. No support for tennets whatsoever. They don't do inspections, they lie, they screw over tenents and let landlords do the same. Staff pretend to care, but couldn't care less. Very bad way to run a business. Be very careful if you consider renting through this... Read Full Review
