TrustpilotForcing to see their mortgage advisor
I wanted to share my recent experience with Balgores, Dagenham . I am a prospective buyer and have personal mortgage advisor . I made an offer with valid AIP (Agreement in Principle from Bank) + source of funds, They forced me to see thier own mortgage advisor irrespective citing that it is thier norm to ask all the buyer to go through thier mortgae advisor for financial verification . I asked to send their policy document relating to this but never recieved reply . Also they confirmed that offer has been forwarded but the seller confimed that they did not inform them when i went for 2nd viewing. I have dealt with other high street Estate Agents and nobody have asked to see thier mortgage advisior if i declined to . May i suggest 1. Please dont force prospective buyers to see your mortgae advisor if they dont want to and have Valid AIP + source of funds document 2. If it is your policy make it more transparent by mentioning in the Brochure whilst advertising a property .
