Agent replied · 9 November 2024
Dear David,
You mentioned in your email to the branch that you are a neighbour to a property being marketed by us and that historically the neighbouring property had caused damage to your home. I believe you wanted us to raise this concern with any potential buyers.
We have spoken to the branch and they have informed us that they spoke to you on the 7th September 2022 regarding the issue you raised in your email. Unfortunately as they discussed with you, without a letter from a solicitor regarding the issue, this isn’t something we could convey to potential buyers.
Rest assured, if there were any issues with the property, this would come up in a survey which is a legal matter and would be dealt with by solicitors.
We would appreciate if you could edit/remove your review as we feel this isn’t an accurate representation of our service.

GoogleRMS Amble branch have been faultless in helping me find a home near Amble. Having moved South many years ago, it has always been my intention to return “home” when I retired. Tracey and Hannah have been fantastic in arranging appointments quickly for me and finding matching properties. Throughout our purchase, Tracey has responded to any questions and supported with phone calls to solicitors etc. Thankyou All!

GoogleWe have always used RMS when we have bought and sold in Newcastle. They were kind enough to allow us to access their services in person last year to ease our submission of relevant papers, etc, as Covid restrictions were becoming hard to circumvent and our time in Newcastle was limited.Our purchase was complicated by the resistance of the seller to move on as they promised and I felt ( at times) that I was leading the process to seek clarity. This of course could just be me feeling the stress of a home move from Birmingham to Newcastle. Ellie always responded to my communication and was always available to speak to. I found the team very professional and genuine. Importantly they didn’t just email. They phoned and spoke to you directly. The personal touch makes a big difference. Many thanks. I wish you all the best.

GoogleArranged for a viewing on 20th November, the agents called back and changed this to the 27th November. I stood outside the property for half an hour in the snow, and the agents did not turn up. No message was left on my phone and nobody would answer the phone in the office. There was no forwarding number.
Really disappointed and feel bad for the seller who is completely unaware that they may have had a buyer but because of RMS's no-show they do not.

Hello there, sorry to read this post. We were very surprised to hear this, so carried out investigations immediately. After a discussion with the branch, I can confirm that our accompanied viewer was at the property from 12pm until after 12.40pm, as there were viewings before your time slot at 12.30pm. Due to a no show client before your appointment, our accompanied viewer waited for you outside the front of the property (which is the only entrance to the property) from 12.15pm until after 12.40pm, perhaps there was some confusion regarding your viewing time or the agreed meeting place? While we appreciate that you called the branch at 12.43pm, 12.47pm and again at 12.56pm you did not leave a voicemail message so we couldn't respond, additionally our staff were busy assisting other clients at the time. I can assure you, had you left a voicemail message our Jesmond team would’ve returned your call as soon as someone was available to do so. We’re sorry that you missed your viewing, but if you’d like to rearrange I can confirm the property is still on the market and our Jesmond team would be happy to rearrange this for you.

GoogleZowie, Angela and the RMS team made our house sale a seamless process! Our sale was completed well ahead of time, and this was thanks to their hard work and efforts in ensuring both sides played their part to meet the tasks and targets required to get us completed early and easily.

Sylvia, I have spoken with our Morpeth branch and while we do not have anyone registered under the name of Sylvia Smith on the system, we have been able to potentially link your review to a phone call received by a member of staff at our Morpeth branch a few months ago regarding a similar issue. We are sorry that you are unhappy with your house. However, as our negotiator explained to you on the phone, had we known about the lack of sewage system and tank, we would have been legally obligated to declare this very important information to all interested parties. Furthermore, all buyers are advised to undertake independent searches and enquires in order to proceed with their property purchase comfortably. I have been informed that the buyer of this property did carry out numerous searches when obtaining their mortgage and no alarm bells were raised and nothing regarding the sewage system was mentioned. Again we are sorry that you are unhappy with your property.
