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.

Buyers: Offer: 86%
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.

Customer Review
 

"Our request to see the garage of the house we were to buy was not done I had to go to agent 4 weeks after viewing the house & to find out which garage went with our house. The agent left messages to the sellers on my answer phone so I was able to hear what he was saying about me. What kind of agent does not know the phone number of buyer & sellers. Can was an easy cash buy no hold up any problem was with the sellers solicitors but this was not explained to the sellers. Very poor rubbish."

Customer Review
 

"I bought my house through them which made me choose wanting to sell my house through them. I have found them very helpful; they kept me informed at all times with viewing arrangements. Dealt with the surveyor for the purchasers and let them in so I did not have to take time off work. Chased things up with purchasers’ solicitors and kept me informed. Time keeping was always prompt. Generally overall very pleased with the service I received. I would certainly recommend them and if ever I moved back into the area would use them again."
