I wouldn't recommend JP Brimlow in Chorlton. I found them to be unprofessional and for a paid service - I have genuinely never had such a poor experience with an estate agent. We were strongly advised to go with a buyer's offer, because her finances were incredibly secure. A completion date was agreed, however the buyer didn't have a mortgage in place. The sale was agreed in February and after delays and then the completion date falling through we moved at the end of August. During this time we had limited communication, we had to continuously chase for updates. We received more information from our vendor’s sale team. We were forwarded our buyers emails, instead of any professional reassurance - our buyer was clearly very stressed, we could have been shielded from this, as we also felt stressed. We complained twice - the first time Danny replied telling us to back off, a rude and unprofessional response in the circumstances. A second email to Danny and Eddie was ignored - which just said it all at the time. They have a complaints procedure which the management doesn't follow. We were moving out of Manchester with a school age child - to not have a sense of this sale being urgently pushed through (we didn't) caused lots of problems. At one point our sellers were advised to pull out due to the delay and lack of clarity, but even their estate agent couldn't get through to anyone and she was stonewalled. I'm surprised by this, looking at all the good reviews and I think this is a huge shame. I get the feeling things are going well in the sale of your home - these guys are great to work with and will highly complement themselves on this. You can feel the defensiveness or the sheer lack of response when you call out unprofessionalism. You are not faced with a customer first approach if you are trying to complain. Some of what happened with the sale couldn't have been prevented - buying a house in this country is difficult. Although I'm not sure how a completion date can be agreed with all parties without all the proper financial checks. But for an agency that claims to be enthusiastic, who the experts and who put the customer first, I didn't experience this, maybe if I was selling a more expensive house, I would have received the top tier service. I regret choosing them - please look at other agents when selling your house.
I have genuinely never had such a poor experience with an estate agent. We put an offer in that was accepted in October 2023 and it’s now March 2024 and nothing has progressed. Furthermore, my contact as this agency is not answering nor returning my calls or emails. Excuses are made every time I call and someone else answers. I have been patient, I have sent a number of polite emails and my solicitor has even tried to push for responses - but nothing but ignorance. Unfortunately for them, I have other options. I wish we were all in a position to lose out on commission for a £750k cash sale.
Had a really strange interaction with someone called Ryan in the chorlton branch a few months back. We let him know that we lived in London and told him that we'd be getting the train up for viewings (just in casual conversation) and he said that wasn't his problem and he would advise sellers not to sell to us because we're not local 😂😭
I had an incredibly disappointing experience with this estate agent. Their communication was abysmal, as they failed to respond to my emails and provided false information about viewings. What's worse, they accepted an offer on my property without consulting me, demonstrating a complete lack of professionalism and disregard for my wishes. I would strongly advise against using their services, as their actions were untrustworthy and disrespectful which leads to questionable integrity !
Had valuation on house, agent from JP & Brimelow was rude about my dogs Clegg and Swinson. Avoid at all costs.
Recently, a leaflet from JP & Brimelow came to our attention. This South Manchester estate agent suggested that COVID-19 may be a 'blessing in disguise' because house prices in the area are booming. As a result of the pandemic over 800,000 are in rent debt and facing eviction, and almost 100,000 have lost their lives.NegativeQuality, Professionalism
Unbelievably crass.
