I would like to sincerely thank Michelle Murphy at Perry Bishop for her support, kindness, and quick responses throughout my buying journey. Michelle was always extremely helpful, answering all my questions within days and keeping me informed at every stage, which I truly appreciated. That said, I do have mixed feelings about the overall experience. The seller accepted our offer in mid-March, and by the end of May both my solicitor and I were ready to exchange. However, the process extended until late August, and when we were finally ready to complete, my solicitor’s firm was unfortunately intervened. This caused further delays, though in the end I only took one week extra to complete from the originally agreed date after the intervention. During this period, I went through a lot of stress and panic, particularly as I had already paid my deposit to the solicitor. Thankfully, I did receive my deposit back before completion, and everything was sorted in the end. I do not place blame on Perry Bishop for these circumstances, but I do feel that if the agents had been a little more assertive or clearer about timeframes with the seller, it might have reduced the stress and uncertainty I experienced. As a first-time buyer, I have certainly experienced the worst in this process, but I am grateful that Michelle ensured information was passed on to me promptly and always before any deadlines. For that reason, I would still recommend Perry Bishop, with the advice to give clear deadlines to sellers early on.
