Would most definitely not recommend. I am actually quite shocked at how badly they treated me as a prospective buyer. I viewed a property which was being sold by a company. When I viewed it, I was told that the company had a figure in mind & would most likely reject any offer other than the asking price. The agent, Stephen, told me that they had an offer on the flat but it was lower than the asking price so would probably be rejected. The next day I put in an asking price offer. I got my mortgage approved in principle for the property, got a letter from my lawyer confirming the availability of my deposit and took in all my documents. Jumped through all the hoops as quickly as possible. I was then constantly chasing them to find out if my offer had been accepted. Two weeks later, I noticed that the advert has been adjusted to say they are proceeding with an offer lower than the asking price. Turns out they had a lower accepted offer on the property and had been proceeding with it, despite my higher offer and without telling me anything. They were obviously just keeping me on the back burner in case anything fell through, as the previous sale fell through which is why it was back on the market. When I asked why my higher offer wasn't put forward, I was told they just hadn't managed to get hold of the company selling it. In two weeks? When I asked how they were managing to progress a sale if they can't speak to the company, he couldn't give me an answer. When I asked what he was going to do next, he said the company wouldn't really be interested in another offer just for a couple of grand more. He basically being lazy and couldn't be bothered to do his job properly or do anymore work processing another application and this means I've missed out on a property I fell in love with. And when I asked to withdraw my offer, he didn't even seem fussed. Didn't even apologise or try to make amends. Simply didn't care. Absolutely terrible agency. I would make a complaint with his manager if I thought that would do any good, but considering the quality of staff responsible for property sales, I'm assuming management wouldn't be any better. I've since gone to another agency, who let me know the bad reputation of Burchell Edwards & that they were losing properties left, right and centre because of their poor service.
