Hi John Smith, I would love the opportunity to discuss this with you. I have checked our database and I cannot find a John Smith in the SN1 area. Please be assured that we would never share any of our clients data with any third party without their explicit and written permission. We are always happy to talk to our clients, past and present and it is disappointing when we only hear of someone feeling dissatisfied with our service through a review. Please do contact us directly as we would ...

I had similar situation with them as well, i made a offer of 241k for the house the cost 230k, after 2 days i received the confirmation of my offer but the amount was 230k, when called they said that was a mistake and even if for that moment my offer was the highest they said that owner decided to go with the other offer. I just belive that they passed wrong amount, or the other option is that that house was sold to their cousins or other relatives. Not serios agency Avoid! ...
