Reputations are not built overnight
In Referenceline's view, this track record is more important than the ratings. Don't be impressed by a few old reviews which may not be representative.  Look for firms with a commitment to asking for feedback - good or bad - from their customers.  We recommend that you look for a track record of ratings and reviews in at least 9 of the last 12 months and that you should not be too concerned about an isolated negative review.  Ask the firm for their side of the story.
 


 
Code of Practice
Businesses have a legal responsibility to treat you fairly, but it's often hard to know what questions to ask or what standards to expect.  They are the experts and you should be able to rely on them to help you make decisions.  These questions explain the commitments that this business has made to follow a code of practice and they will help you understand what you have a right to expect.

SELLERS Did the firm show you evidence of their membership of an Ombudsman scheme to give you free, independent review of any complaints ? (eg is the Ombudsman logo shown on the sales particulars for your property?)

Buyers: Offer: 100%
BUYERS Did the firm accept your offer without attaching any conditions (such as that you should arrange your mortgage through them)?
You can see how many customers have said "Yes" in answer to each question, but please don't expect 100% in every case.  Nobody's perfect and some customers may not be completely sure about the answer.  It's more important that you understand these questions and discuss them with the business so that you both agree what good service means for you.  A responsible business will be happy to explain the details to you and it's always better to clarify these points upfront to avoid misunderstandings later on.

Ground floor 1 bed flat Acocks Green.
 

"Very high staff turnover, new staff every month I was not made aware of changes. Countrywide conveyancing – appalling very slow, not able to speak to solicitor just the call centre (my solicitor had numerous problems with them). The branch seemed to be more on the side & the buyer because she used car mortgage services. Staff got my mane wrong. Didn’t call me back then requested. Sobbed of at times. All in all horrendous experience."

Detached terrace type was pleasant but has been neglected as I cared for my move. Area not what it was!
 

"Mark Williams was new to this area but dealt with my needs very professionally and in a very friendly and helpful way. My house was really in a bad way and Mark was so helpful and encouraging. I am so grateful to him. A friend recommended Dixons to me & I would use the same."

3 flats ranging in price from £99,400-£105,000. The last flat is currently under offer & due to exchange shortly.
 

"Enthusiastic and polite but co-ordination among colleagues could have been better. Notwithstanding this your firm did manage to secure 3/3 deals as opposed to their joint agents."
