I bought a house through ferndown Estate agents , I dealt with Sam Dunne, the history of the house was a murder had happened here , the case was high profile and was covered by all the media, ie, television ,radio, the newspapers , the house is less than 1 mile from Ferndown estate agents offices, ferndown Estate agents and Sam Dunne knew about it , and never ever mentioned it to me ,I believe the reason is ,I would have been in a better negotiation place , or I wouldn't have purchased it, i wouldn't recommend anyone use these people for anything , they are dishonest and deceitful. Thank you Ian , owner of ferndown Estate agents , for your reply to my review ,if you are suggesting I'm lying , when you say unfounded allegations ? I suggest you and your staff , including John who showed me round the house and who also never said a word about the murder ? we should all take polygraph tests , otherwise known as lie detectors , they are 98 % infallible, and when the tests show who is a liar ? the liar pays for the tests , I don't mind a wager on the side either , just let me know when you want to take the lie detector tests ? Im available anytime , my conveyancing solicitors was never told about the murder either ?, but a solicitor and a Barrister told me , the seller nor the estate agent has to tell you about the murder , and if you don't ask the question ? (has a murder happened at a house or any property ) they are not duty bound to tell you , as ridiculous as it sounds , thats the law, but I think you knew that .
