**FALSE / MISLEADING REVIEW ALERT**
**Posting fake reviews is prohibited under UK consumer protection legislation**
The statements made in this review are false and misleading.
OPA provides a comprehensive Buyer Information Pack for every property we market, containing all material information available relating to the property. Relevant information is also clearly stated within the property advertisement.
Where a property is operated as a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO), a copy of the HMO licence will be made available for prospective purchasers to inspect prior to proceeding. Where planning permission or a HMO licence is required, this information is disclosed. Conversely, where planning permission or a HMO licence is not required, no such documentation will exist and therefore cannot be provided.
OPA takes compliance and transparency extremely seriously and encourages all purchasers to carry out their own due diligence, supported by their solicitor and professional advisers, before committing to any purchase.
If you are a genuine customer and believe any information provided by OPA was inaccurate, please contact us directly so that we can investigate your concerns.
If this review has been posted by an individual who has not had any dealings with OPA, we would remind them that publishing false and damaging statements about a business may constitute defamation and/or malicious falsehood. Furthermore, posting fake reviews is prohibited under UK consumer protection legislation.

TrustpilotThe Best Estate Agent I've Ever Used - Thoroughly Recommended
I can't express enough how fantastic my experience with The OPA has been throughout the buying and selling process of my property. From start to finish, they have proven to be the epitome of professionalism and expertise. If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would do it in a heartbeat.
From the very beginning, The OPA demonstrated an unparalleled level of dedication and commitment. They made what could have been a daunting process remarkably smooth and stress-free. What truly stood out was the incredible team, and one person, in particular, deserves a special mention, Zara... what a superstar!
She guided me through every step of the journey with a genuine and warm approach. Her dedication to ensuring that I got the best deal possible was truly commendable. Zara was always available to answer my questions, address my concerns, and provide valuable insights that made me feel confident in my decisions.
The OPA's attention to detail and their ability to match buyers and sellers effectively is unmatched. They provided me with expert advice on preparing my property for sale, and their marketing strategies ensured that it reached a wide and interested audience. Their negotiation skills secured the best possible deal for me as a seller.
Overall, The OPA is a testament to what an online estate agency should be. They are efficient, trustworthy, and highly effective in what they do. Zara and the entire team at The OPA deserve all the accolades for their dedication and hard work.
If you're in search of an estate agency that will handle your buying and selling process with utmost care and expertise, look no further than The OPA. I can confidently say that they are the gold standard in the industry. Thank you, OPA, for making this experience truly exceptional!

Zara is the most ignorant individual I have ever come across in my life. She is rude and very unprofessional. It’s almost impossible to get hold of her… The business needs to shut down!

TrustpilotIf you've also been scammed, get legal advice
I put an offer in on a property advertised by the OPA which was accepted. I then had to pay an upfront fee to secure the property.
After the fee was paid, the property layout was changed and was no longer what was originally advertised. I reached out to the OPA stating what the property was no longer what I paid for, having been ignored I eventually had to take legal action against the OPA to get my money back.
This process took MONTHS and cost me THOUSANDS in the initial solicitors fee's when initiating the purchase and the legal costs of reclaiming the fee paid to the OPA.
Having read other reviews it seems there is a theme and I've noticed responses from the OPA claiming these are fake reviews with false statements. Based on my personal experience I am highly confident they are not, as I made multiple attempts to handle the issue directly with the OPA where I was ignored, I assume in the hopes I would just go away.
I would encourage anyone and everyone to stay away from engaging with the OPA and if anyone else has been scammed by the OPA I encourage you to seek legal advice to get your money back.

TrustpilotToo good to be true
Everyone's on the lookout for the best deals these days, right? Well, let me tell you, if something seems too good to be true, it definitely is and this company is a perfect example of that. I have no idea how they're even allowed to operate. Everything looks perfect, until you find out they don't do any due diligence before a property purchase. That means there's no guarantee that what you're buying is actually a sound property. To me, that represents a HUGE RISK for any buyer (in particular ones that don't have a lot of experience) as you stand to lose thousands.
Save your money and go to a reputable company, otherwise you'll just end up stressed and out of pocket by using these cowboys.
Listen to the genuine reviews, not the "textbook" ones - isn't it strange that they mainly reply to the negative reviews and very short and dry "thank you" to some of the positive ones?
If my review can help even one person avoid getting "tricked", then I've done my bit.

TrustpilotAVOID this company at all costs
AVOID this company at all costs. All seems great with them until they tell you they want a NONE REFUNDABLE fee prior to even having a valuation. They basically offer deals that really do look superb to hook you in & then take their fee before you find out if the property has any defects or not - Basically they are scamming you just for their fee!
Take the time to look at earlier reviews & you will see lots of others like this one. You will then see lots of other 5 Star reviews that push the multiple one star reviews down the list. Please take note of the dates of all these 'great' 5 star reviews ie 6 on the 19th Aug, 5 on the 20th Aug etc. Isn't it strange how all these 5 Star reviews all came in on the same days? I'm going to correct myself here, its not strange, its dodgy!

Used OPA to purchase a couple of investment properties. Both were tricky purchases, but Zara was at hand to help us out, Zara even pointed me to a financial advisor who helped me get mortgages and close off the purchase. I highly recommend OPA for any investment property purchases.
