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: Ombudsman: 65%
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?)

SELLERS Did the firm make clear whether or not they wish to offer other services (such as mortgages) to potential buyers of your property?
 
Sellers: Particulars: 76%

Sellers: Viewing: 83%
SELLERS Did the firm agree the viewing arrangements with you and comply with these arrangements?
 
Sellers: Offers: 94%
SELLERS Did the firm confirm all offers in writing (including email)?
 
Sellers: Marketing: 56%
SELLERS Did the firm ask you whether or not the property should remain on the market after the offer was accepted. (n/a in Scotland)?
 
Buyers: Ombudsman: 40%
BUYERS 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: Marketing: 67%
BUYERS Did the firm tell you if the property was kept on the market after your offer was accepted, or was put back on the market later on. (n/a in Scotland)?
 
Buyers: Accuracy: 67%
BUYERS Did the firm give you accurate (i.e. not misleading) information about properties?
 
Buyers: Offer: 83%
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.

3 bedroom end of terrace in Havant PO9. Large kitchen desired. Loft conversion with en-suite.
 

"Not completely happy with service. Made to feel like a third party rather than clients. Did not return calls. On one occasion they called to ask if someone sitting outside our house could come inside to have a look. Also, after we accepted offer, buyers turned up for a second viewing which they had arranged with Cubitt & West but no-one abvised us."

Bungalow 2 beds downstairs, 1 lounge, 1 kitchen. 1 wetroom (bathroom). 2 beds upstairs in ensuite bathroom detached bungalow & double garage. Very pretty back garden all fittings left in situ incl. All white goods.
 

"Photographs were taken and printed before I had time to reconsider. They were very good. The sale went quickly after several viewings. I didn’t get £240,000 that I really needed. I think the agents fees were excessive. The buyer complained that she couldn’t get through to the office so called me several time."

Sea side walks to the beach apartment/ maisonette.
 

"The service was ok. They sold the property so that was a good outcome. There were not always a lot of people available in the office to do our viewings so sometimes. We did them ourselves. It worked in the end.

3 bed mid terrace, cul-de-sac. Location with integral garage. Asking price 190k.
 

"Very slow with initial marketing and website, phones, for sale board. Most viewings were carried out by ourselves due to staff shortage. All negotiations with final buyer were carried out by myself. The agent had no input."

2 bedroom terraced house 2 off road parking spaces, new bathroom. Perfect starter home or rental property.
 

"Cubbitt & West were more expensive than other estate agents. They did market it well with good pictures. We had to show a few viewings around ourselves as booked by agents for 6 pm. Didn’t make clear fees agreed were less VAT so bit of shock when quote came from solicitors."

Pleasant ground floor apartment in a gated retirement complex.
 

"In original leaflet property was described as having its own private garden. this should have said communal garden. Time was wasted & queries to established true facts & cost money."

Detached 1870 cottage ij a seaside resort.
 

"Rubbish! They were not interested with my concerns. They got me a rubbish price, as they still get the same fees regardless of the price they got fro me. There was no contact with me, only regarding my buyers concerns, as they did not want to lose a sale. I had to ask them to send me my buyers offer in writing.

Customer Review
 
Three bedroom detached bungalow twenty minutes outside town centre no forward chain.
 

"It took at least five attempts to get a correct description written and agreed. The property was empty as we were selling it following my mother’s death. On one occasion a light was left on after the estate agent left the property and on another occasion an overhead fan was also left on for at least 24 hours before this was discovered. Both we and our buyers were keen to exchange and complete as soon as possible after their offer was accepted. Unfortunately the estate agent gave our solicitor the wrong details for the buyers solicitor name and address and it then took just over a month to establish what had happened. This despite numerous phone calls from us and our solicitor. Our sale was therefore delayed by at least a month and during the first."

4 bed detached house, recently refurbished.
 

"Cubitt & West were terrible to deal with, made trying to agree things with buyer a nightmare. I complained to their head group Arun estates after finding the Havant branch manager rude & unresponsive. She never returned calls & would not reply to emails. I was on the varge of complaining to yourselves. I still feel I should have received a discount from the 1.5% I was charged for such awful service."
