Where do I start....and this is about the Blackburn office and inparticular the lettings team. My daughter rented a property that without being particular and detailed was unfit for rental...and this included things that are a legal requirement in rental properties. The whole service from them has been appalling...renting a house to a working single mother that paid a lot of money out for a property that was unfit for the rental market. If I did my job to this sub standard I would be sacked.
Paul, the director of Aisworth Lord Estate, highly recommended a surveyor he used regularly & trusted, for a property we'd offered the full asking price on. When the surveyor's report came through claiming it was not a mortgageable proposition, he instantly changed his mind about him. Paul said we should overlook the opinion & the identified repair work over 75k. Paul advised that we should now fork out for another surveyor for a 2nd opinion. His advice is comical. It gets better!! He took a deposit of 5k from us, explaining at the time that it was just a goodwill gesture to show we were serious buyers. After the report came through, we told Paul on 29th Sept, that we can not proceed, we asked him to return the deposit. Paul was now not forthcoming with communication, so my wife gave him a 1star rating. The communication instantly improved, she received an email threatening her with legal action for rating him. The prison attire is definitely not for her. 😆 Paul claimed on 5th Oct, that he's been in talks with the vendor to prevent us from losing our deposit. My wife has trust issues when it comes to him & insisted we visit the vendor. It pains me to say it, she was right! On 8th Oct, the vendor confirmed her suspicion. We decided to confront Paul in person today. When asked why he still has our money, he said he would be transferring to the vendor this week. 🤔 Paul said he was hoping to negotiate, he could offer us deal so we wouldn't lose our deposit. We asked him what he proposed. He's response "why don't you buy half the premises it would cost less". I can't stomach this man. My wife entertained him & asked for the price. Paul said 75k. Now for simple maths Surveyor valuation = 100k full premises Half premises =50k Paul's DEAL for half premises =75k I wonder if Paul failed maths Now for simple maths: Surveyor = 100k for full premises Half premises = 50k Paul's DEAL for half premises = 75K I wonder if Paul failed maths

Hello.. I'm sorry but we have no record of anyone with this name. Please get in touch so we can discuss why you have left this review? Thanks 01254 760660
Simply criminal what they did with the poor old man, driving around in a fancy Mercedes whilst properties are rotting, riddled with damp and some even having rats reported. Proctors and Hunters 200 yards away and much better
imagine accepting a 90 year old as a guarantor AND THEN when the debtor doesn't pay setting up a go fund me to recoup the cost AND THEN when people kick off (rightly so) you decide the old man can keep the money, and try to take the credit 😂 you should be struck off!
Taking money from pensioners
So let’s get this right... you firstly allowed an 89 year man be a guarantor, you’ve then set him up on a payment plan to collect some arrears knowing full well that will leave him short on other essentials and then even though he’s agreed to a payment plan you’ve then took it upon yourselves to set up a gofundme page on his behalf to collect the money for your own benefit?!? Disgusting behaviour “There was no way Alan could afford to clear this huge debt. Despite this Alan has agreed a payment plan that will take years to pay off. Sadly, this means Alan will have to go without other essentials.”
