I met Ricky in Feb 2023, when I was still considering my options. Ricky is a lovely guy, he listened and helped me understand the process. He visited me in the evening, meaning I did not need to take time off work and communication via WhatsApp suited my needs (I have hearing impairment)....until he started using voice notes! The property listing was different to others in that he did a video walk through and drone view. But it still missed one of the bedrooms and initially didn't include the solar panels....surely a major selling point as that's what is different from all the other similar properties! Viewings worked well, Ricky managed these and there was plenty of time for me to plan to be out of the way. Ricky did seem to be always overly optimistic, perhaps not quite in the same reality, although housing market is an ever changing picture. I got a buyer in May, they then pulled out a couple of weeks later, with reasoning that never felt right (not sure if that was them or Ricky relating it). Having already put an offer on my buying property (which Ricky helped brilliantly with the negotiations/ offers) I was restricted to selling price when my home went back on the market. I felt that Ricky did not listen to me, or acknowledge the circumstances I was in. Again he was overly optimistic. Wanting to lower the price when I would have been in negative numbers due to the offer on my buying property. I looked around for a new estate agent (in June), but despite being in contract since Feb I was not free to exit. I had served notice but before this time was up Ricky did find me a buyer. When the seller of my property pulled out, Ricky was very helpful in making contact with estate agents, providing additional detail to the property listings and eventually securing a better price for me on my chosen property, which is much appreciated. Everything worked out in the end, but my overwhelming memories are not all good, I still think Ricky is a nice guy but his optimism a bit off the scale.

Why so hard to just simply book a viewing! I avoid properties being sold by Avocado

Why so hard to just simply book a viewing! I avoid properties being sold by Avocado

Avoid at all costs If you're looking for a condescending, Rolex wearing, arrogant and snide Estate Agent, pick Avocado. If you want your home improvements choices to be ridiculed and belittled, pick Avocado. If you want an Estate Agent to turn up at your property with zero collateral, having done no research to patronise you and undervalue your property, pick Avocado. If you want a serious valuation, pick anyone else but Avocado. Matt should not be in the job, he knows nothing about properties and is quite obviously only in it for the money. Shameful service and company

I’m extremely disappointed with the dishonest and unprofessional conduct of this estate agent (Stuart Bock from Maidenhead). I was seriously interested in purchasing a property and was told by the agent that the seller had decided not to sell. However, I later found out that the property was in fact sold to someone else. This misleading information wasted my time and eroded my trust completely. Transparency and honesty are the bare minimum in this industry, and unfortunately, this agent failed on both counts. I would not recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable or trustworthy experience.

Sadly, our experience was no where near as positive as that of others. We contacted the agent, registers as requested, asked to review a property via phone - chased up twice but neer heard from him again..........

I've been dealing with Avocado Property, specifically with a lady named Lauren for properties in and around Reading, and it's been an incredibly frustrating experience. Lauren has been extremely slow to respond to inquiries, often not …

They need to improve on their communication skills, it started off great in the beginning once they got the business but later on I couldn't get hold of them and would have to follow / chase few times. …
