Listed a property with access to a loft space, which I required. After paying a solictor to do their searches, it became apparent that the loft was not part of the property they were selling. I wouldn't have even enquired about the property had I known there was no loft. This cost me £400 in solicitors fees. No apology, just pleaded ignorance that they didn't know.....but quite happily detailed the loft space and how well it was boarded out up there. Be aware!!

Dear Mr Matlock, as you can see from the high number of 5 star reviews that we have received through Google we are not used to receiving a 1 star review. Therefore we were disappointed to read that you were unhappy with the experience of buying a flat. From reviewing the file notes and reading about the property it would appear that although it does have a boarded loft, as well as direct access from the property, there are restrictions in the lease on storage. As the property had been acquired and was now being sold, by a part exchange company, this information was not highlighted to us. Naturally, we too are frustrated that you have incurred costs and did try to offer a solution to mitigate this. However, we are also keen to learn from any customer, so would welcome the opportunity to discuss this with you. I will look to make contact, but otherwise please call 01403 272022 and ask to speak to Peter.Otherwise we wish you every success in the future.
