Misleading Practices and Breach of Regulations I'm extremely disappointed with Balgores- Hornchurch's handling of a property we intended to purchase . Despite being told to sign the agreement by Arif the property was sold to someone else by Bradley. This wasted our time and caused significant stress, especially since the property was meant to be our first marital home before our wedding in August. The agent created a bidding war despite Bradley mentioning on the first viewing, they don’t want bidding wars and gave the ‘golden number’ of what offer we should place. This placed undue pressure on us, and breached the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008. Their actions were unfair and misleading. It was disheartening as the day we came to sign the documents our expectations completely changed. With no prior warning to the viewing after being spoken to, we were not notified until we arrived at the property. It was deeply saddening and frustrating to myself and my fiancée. I have contacted Balgores regarding this issue but it is best to share my experience with the public. Avoid Balgores Hornchurch if you want a smooth and honest transaction.
