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: 100%
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: Fees: 100%

Sellers: Viewing: 100%
SELLERS Did the firm agree the viewing arrangements with you and comply with these arrangements?
 
Sellers: Offers: 100%
SELLERS Did the firm confirm all offers in writing (including email)?
 
Sellers: Marketing: 80%

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.

One bedroom city centre flat.
 

"The agent was not helpful. He made it clear that he was friends with the seller and at all times was acting in their interests. He tried to put pressure on me to increase my offer. He was not helpful and as a result I will avoid Shepherd Gilmour in future."

The apartment is located in an apartment complex just outside the city centre of Manchester. Easy access into Manchester and to motorways. Nicely maintained central communal gardens, which the apartment over looks.
 

"I have dealt with Shepherd Gilmour for a number of years now. Stuart Davids and Major Gons are very professional and knowledgeable in the industry and I feel being kept informed of the purchase process at all times. They are also very proactive. I never had to chase them for an update. Their friendliness and quality of service is the best I have experienced from the many agencies in Manchester."
