We recently purchased our first house which was up for sale with Manning Stainton. The communication throughout the whole process was appalling, leaving us constantly chasing and calling, waiting on responses. Our move manager, Fiona, was somewhat argumentative with myself and my partner over the phone regarding legal issues. She was unhelpful in resolving issues which emerged during the process, taking four days to get us no further forward. However, we spoke to Debbie on the fifth day who managed to help us with the same issue within half an hour. The handling of our case caused added stress to the situation, and ultimately took away the excitement of buying our first home.
