Be warned. Starts with a very energetic sales pitch and committed approach to market and sell the property. However it very quickly turns into a situation where you feel you are being lied to, excuses given that counter the actual market position and naturally from there the relationship turns to distrust very quickly. Notable issues: 1) Advised that initially 4 + buyers qualified off the books with views set up for one day. The day comes, house clean and prepared, Family moved out so the viewings can take place, activity in the house (sensor). Great. Two days go by with no initial feedback or potential buyer feedback, so when i eventually have chase Mann & Co for feedback i was told there were no visits that day. Confused and concerned; No clear explanation ever given as to why the situation panned out as it did. This set the standard for the rest of the 12 weeks with Mann & Co…. 2) Immediately felt a sense of distrust and lack of commitment from the Ashford team, to the point i was made to feel like i was the one at fault. it was down to me to constantly chase and manage the Estate agent, where i would have hoped they would have been a bit more pro-active with me…maybe a weekly call would have been nice…it was promised. When the feedback came it was short and incorrect, important detail missed giving the wrong impression was the norm. As always the detail is so important. Mann & Co didn't seem to care about the detail. 3) Sure enough it came to a head when they introduced an unqualified Buyer, i accepted the offer however this led to the collapse of the sale. No real comfort or support from the Estate agent, i had one brief VM the day after i found out (from my solicitor). From there radio silence from Mann & Co for 2 weeks. 4) To rub salt in the wounds two weeks later Maria and her team did a leaflet drop on my estate, even posting a flyer through my own door stating my house was sold stc. Despite me having to deal with the significant impact of a sale falling through it was clear to see my own estate agent was trying to profiteer from this misfortune and lie to its new prospective customers. 5) After exiting the contract they continued to market my property despite several polite requests to stop. thus undermining my sale with a new estate agent. 6) My house key was stored in Branch with my name and address on it. Overall i would say this branch is an operational concern. When i went in to collect my keys i tried to address the points above but as per the norm i was responded to with Vague and shouty statements, The Manager Maria lied around trying to contact me when the sale fell through. (there is always an excuse btw) The culture in this office is lies and chaos, then inevitably when something goes wrong; they run. Considering the importance of a house sale and how it can affect peoples lives i would suggest you avoid Maria and the Ashford Team at all costs
