Hunters Estate Agents - Bridlington

Rude + untrustworthy

Accepted our offer on a house and told us they wouldn't take any more viewings, we where made up as it was the house of our dreams only to receive a call later that day to tell us they let someone else view (a chain) and they put in a higher bid and they have accepted that one, in a word disgusting!

We had a previous offer rejected as we where just short of the asking price so we went away and borrowed and sold assets to be able to meet the buyers price only a week later! To be told its ours and be overjoyed then have it ripped away from us just five hours later is outrageous.It has gone to a mortgage chain rather than a young family!

This practice is scheduled to be debated in the Houses of commons and could soon be made illegal, regulation of property agents has been proposed by mp's to protect first time buyers (like us) and to also enable young people/family's (like us) to get on the property ladder. My advice would be go with and estate agent that practices a good moral code before waiting for the law to step in, the extra couple of % in commission was obviously of more importance to Hunters Estate agents than been a moral practice and shattering a young family's dreams

Simply additional viewings should have been cancelled once the offer was accepted by the seller

AVOID AVOID AVOID

I bought my first house in December through Hunters and I was really pleased with the service and help I received. We bought a repossession property which had to go ahead quickly and efficiently. We received all the relevant information we needed and was able to get the house we wanted after much fighting off other interested buyers!!

Thanks
