GoogleI will never invest another penny in buying a house from someone that is represented by this agency. The way that we’ve been treated stinks of underhand, immoral and dishonourable practices. Days away from exchanging after investing thousands of pounds and tens of hours of effort on a purchase, the transaction, without notice or introduction to the person concerned, was handed to a ‘partner’ who told us a third party has offered a “significant” amount more than us (when in fact it was a fraction of the agreed price). The facts are: 1. We’d agreed a purchase about 2.5 months before and were ready to exchange having just days before received a local search that we’d be waiting almost the whole time for; 2. I had shared the local search with the agent as confirmation that it had been received. Upon being aware a day or two after that there was a third party involved, I immediately emailed the individual the search had been shared with asking for confirmation it would not be shared with anyone else. Confirmation was deliberately withheld and I was told simply that the file had been handed to a ‘partner’; 3. The ‘partner’ initially introduced the third party as someone who’d previously viewed the house and now having sold their house was in a position to proceed with cash. Subsequently, I was told the third party was actually a builder when I queried whether they were aware of the condition of the house (which was a big project). Why wasn’t the third party described as a builder from the outset? If it’s a builder’s business to buy, destroy/rebuild/renovate homes of the value we are taking about (c£1m+ just for the plot) it makes no sense to me that they wouldn’t have financial arrangements in place that would facilitate the purchase just a few months before the making of this new offer. 4. As above, I was told the third party made an offer that was a “substantial” increase but it was in fact just 1.78% more than the amount we’d agreed to pay and we were ready to exchange! My understanding was that the vendors were actually inheriting the proceeds from a deceased father and in real terms, less IHT I think they’d have been about £5k better off per person. I spent more than that getting to the point of exchange! 5. In reality the agents knew I could never really compete by increasing my offer given the timeframes. The bank had already valued it at the agreed purchase price and any variations would have all needed to be agreed with the bank who would have taken days to respond and approve it. As for the vendor concerned, I can only hope that one day someone treats you the way you have treated us.

8 Aug 2018 Dear Mr Harper I am sorry not to have replied to your review earlier, it arrived in my absence. The practice of gazumping is undesirable. As a firm we do our absolute best to avoid it but as a solicitor, you will know we act as a third party and take our clients instructions, ever mindful of fair play and most importantly, the law which states all offers must be submitted. Dealing with your points in order: 1. Agreed. 2. Agreed, I have not and will not share the local search with the new purchaser and I have assured you of that verbally and here again in writing. 3. Agreed. The significant point here is that it is a personal purchase with another agent having sold their home, I am not involved in their sale. The reason I explained their occupation was that you had raised the question over the condition likely revealed on survey. 4. Without openly disclosing too much, the sum was well into five figures. I disclosed the exact amount to you. 5. You had previously re-negotiated the original purchase price and then reinstated this offer upon news of the increased offer. That coupled with you changing your solicitor, and my client made the decision to change purchasers based on this and the amount of the new offer. As you know I am duty-bound, by law, to submit an offer to our client. I apologised profusely on behalf of the firm, gave you opportunity to increase your offer, but our clients decided that they wanted to sell to somebody else, only when you decided not to match the new offer. Gazumping is certainly not encouraged, this wasn’t a new viewer pushed forward by ourselves, a deal done in the background and a cowardly email to say that you were no longer the buyer. This was an explanation of the situation, a transparency on the level of the new offer, an assurance from me not to sell the property to the new party before giving you that opportunity and you eventually declining to increase based on the condition of the property and your ability to refinance it as you state here now. My instructions from our clients were clear; they wanted to sell to the new party at the new price. The reason I got involved as “the partner” was to hope to show the matter was taken very seriously and I didn’t expect anyone else to deliver the news. I hope the foregoing helps everyone to understand our position but again, I apologise profusely for the inconvenience and expense caused, and the disappointment of you not being able to buy the property. It is excruciating to deliver the news but it is the system which allows re-negotiation, which happened on both sides, that needs overhauling. If you would let me assist in any way in future I would, very happily, to try and make some amends. Michael Hawkins

GoogleI am an executor who instructed Peter Clarke and Co in the sale of a house in Stratford upon Avon. They found a buyer within a reasonable time back in April 2018. However, there were many complications with the house which was leasehold and not freehold and had not ever been registered with the Land Registry! The buyer was extremely patient and waited for me to correct these issues. The sale was finally completed in January 2019. Throughout this time, Peter Clarke and Co and especially Melanie Griffiths, their 'progress chaser', were unfailing in their patience and commitment to keeping me fully informed at all times.Moreover Melanie kept both sides' solicitors constantly on alert to speed things up throughout this time. Peter Clarke and Co did a brilliant job and I would always be happy to recommend them to future buyers and sellers. Peter Lightfoot Leamington Spa 11 January 2019

TrustpilotExcellent
We initially had an awful experience with another agent but Peter Clarke were nothing like our previous agents. From start to finish the staff at Leamington Spa were really professional, knowledgable and honest. We sold our house and purchased our new house through them. Renée is brilliant, she works so incredibly hard and nothing seems too much for her. She’s always so helpful and replies to calls and emails really quickly. Matthew has been excellent and gave us help when we really needed it and pointed us in the right direction. We can not thank the staff enough for everything they did to help us in the sale and purchase of our homes. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone and if we required an estate agent in the future I wouldn’t hesitate to return.
