I arranged over 1 week ago to have my house valued by John Shepherd Solihull and provided a guide on the expected valuation based on good local knowledge of similar property values and market activity in the local area. I am flabbergasted that, after rearranging various commitments to ensure I am able to be present for the valuation, I received a call from the agent at 4pm the day before our meeting to essentially advise me that the ‘compares’ they have done would likely result in the valuation being significantly apart from my own expectations. When I asked about the compares, the properties used had no relevance to my own. They were not detached houses, different number of bedrooms / bathrooms etc. clearly John Shepherd do not want to take on the listing of my property, nor do they want to actually look at relevant market data and, what’s more, they have no appreciation for anyone else’s time and the logistics in ensuring you can be present for a valuation in the working week. A terrible experience. I strongly advise anyone looking at estate agents in Solihull (seller / buyer / leasing) to avoid at all costs
