Richard James estate agents, failed to do the most basic checks on the property that I was purchasing, the lease had 26 years missing, advertising that the property had 137 years but only 111 years . The sale fell through as the owners pulled out of the sale. The whole buying process was a nightmare, I was lied to many times and kept getting emails and phone calls stating the I was falling behind with the sale off my current property which wasn’t the case . I was told that we was looking to complete on the 22nd off June and that if this didn’t happen by this date , then it would be in mid July. Again not true , I sold my place and moved back home with my parents thinking it would only be a week or two, But July came and went, I kept asking what’s going on as with the sale . The lady that was dealing with me was on leave and they had no record off the 22nd of June as a moving date , even tho I sent emails back to them showing the conversation, I explained to them that I am now homeless and why can’t the person living in my new place move out like I’ve had too , answer I was given was that , if you own a property then your not proceed able in renting, again more lies anyone can rent a property. The whole buying process was stressful and unpleasant experience, I even told them to leave me alone and stop ringing me and emailing me . Luckily I’ve found another property with Connells estate agent , and the experience is brilliant. So in summary Richard James left me homeless, Nearly two grand out of pocket in solicitors fees Stressed the hell out of me Lied to me many timesNegativeProfessionalism
