Very disappointing experience with this estate agent. We enquired about a property in M9 that we were interested in purchasing, but our emails were ignored and we received no reply or call back. When I eventually called them, the person who answered came across as extremely arrogant and unhelpful. We asked a reasonable question regarding the lease, as we have previously purchased similar leasehold properties within the same estate and are familiar with some of the mortgage lending issues that can arise. In particular, many leasehold properties in that estate have a ground rent review every 10 years, which can be problematic for many mortgage lenders unless a deed of variation is agreed. We simply wanted to know whether the seller may be open to resolving this issue by doing a deed of variation before we spent time and money progressing with viewings, surveys, legal work, and mortgage applications. Instead of listening properly or offering to check with the seller, the agent immediately dismissed the question and repeatedly told us to speak to our solicitor. The tone throughout the conversation was rude and unprofessional. As experienced property investors who have dealt with hundreds of agents over the years, this was one of the worst interactions we have had with an estate agent. Potential buyers should be treated with professionalism and basic courtesy. Very poor communication and a disappointing experience overall.
