Just another greedy estate agency
Just another greedy estate agency. Wanted to book a viewing for a house for sale at 1 Redland Close, Ilkeston. After not receiving any reply decided to call the agency and ask what's going on. The agent was obviously acting dumb and after eventually ''finding'' my inquiry started emailing me with offers for other houses and asked if I would like to speak to their mortgage adviser. She said she had called the seller but the call had gone straight to voicemail. Obviously that seller doesn't wanna sell his house, cause I never got back from them. After refusing to go and meet their mortgage adviser I was of not importance for them. So obviously there are two options here. Either the advert is a bogus one keeping it for attracting potential clients, or they are in breach of the Code of Practice for Estate agencies. Whatever the reason for my experience with them I would not recommend them to my worst enemy. The seller will waste time and money using them, the buyer will lose money and nerves. Your move is to NOT use YOUR MOVE!!!
Update: I went to see the house without arranged viewing today, cause it's still on the market. Guess what, there is no sign of this house being for sale! No sign whatsoever that the owner have a slight intention of selling it ever! No news from the agency about my request for a viewing too. The house can be clearly seen to be inhabited. I didn't knock on the door cause whoever lives there, from my point of view, doesn't want to sell the house. Nevertheless, the owner must be in this game with the agents if he keeps his house on the market at such a price for so long and never bother to show it to anyone. So as I said earlier this advert is not real and would not recommend this agency to my worst enemy!
