Unprofessional incompetent Agents

I tried contacting Jones & Chapman (Allerton Rd) on 28th and 29th March on a number of occasions only for the call to ring out to voicemail. After numerous attempts I finally got through to somebody on the 30th who advised that he was in the lettings department and couldn't assist but would pass my details on to the sales team to return my call. Having had no return call I called back on 1st April and spoke to a representative in the Sales department who was unable to answer any of my basic questions about the property. He advised that he was new and would obtain further information and return my call to advise further and also an appointment date to view the property. Having had no return call I called back again on 6th April and got through to the same person after several attempts. I was told the exact same information and it was apparent that no attempt had been made to contact the Vendor to arrange an appointment. He advised that he would now treat this as urgent and also escalate the viewing. Having still had no response I called back again on 11th April on 3 occasions reaching answer machine every time. I left an urgent message on their voicemail on the last occasion asking for the Manager to return my call. Needless to say 3 days later no response from anybody. I appreciate that I am not a Client and they have no obligation to me in terms of customer service but if this is how they are operating their business I would not instruct them to sell a property on my behalf. I am now contacting the Vendor direct.

I’d give no stars if I could

I’d give no stars if I could. I’m a cash buyer and have left numerous voicemails ( no one ever answers) emails, emails through right move and in fact right move themselves emailed them with my details too when I told them I can’t get through. I messaged their face book page- still nothing ! This has gone on for over a month. I’d never try and sell through them. There’s a property I’ve been trying to view for over a month !!

Disgusting and Dishonest service

Tried FOUR TIMES to meet with one of their mortgage advisors just so we could get a viewing and they flaked out EVERY TIME, what a complete waste of time not to mention money we spent on travelling to their office. Then they have the nerve to send us adverts for other properties that 'we may be interested in', making this whole experience reek of a bait and switch. If you, reading this right now are the said mortgage advisor or had any part to play in this then I hope you are ashamed of yourself for brazenly messing us around and the absolute least you could do is compensate us for the time and money wasted.

I'm trying to buy a property in Liverpool

I'm trying to buy a property in Liverpool. I had agreed to meet a mortgage advisor with J&C but, having had three similar quotes, decided one more wasn't necessary. I didn't hear from J&C again despite calling and emailing about properties. I finally got a response. This was after a week of a few attempts to make contact. I was told the property I wanted to view had been sold already to a priority buyer - meaning someone who had met with the J&C mortgage advisor. I explained that I didn't need a mortgage. It became clear the mortgage advisor is considered a necessity if wanting to purchase through J&C. I have never been sent a property by J&C and have not managed to arrange a viewing with them. It's clearly a waste of my time (as a first time buyer with a mortgage in principle in place) to use this estate agent. I just want to buy a property from an estate agent and I don't need a mortgage. TL;DR J&C isn't interested in you as a buyer unless you see their mortgage advisor

Avoid

Avoid. I would never use them again. There must be a reason that only a few people using this estate agent. Sold our house 15k less than the asking price and they said to me we have sold our house at a 'good price'. I didn't get my money back for marketing package cost as promised. Very lay back estate agent, offer accepted and I didn't receive the letter confirmation until 2 weeks after. They didn't do the ID check of the buyer until days after. From my experience, I would not believe whatever they said.

Jones & Chapman Little Sutton, a thoroughly professional agency. The sales brochure with photos brought many viewers and I was kept informed at all times. All staff are friendly, with special thanks to Ben, Grace and Marie.

I received poor service from west kirby office

Rang and arranged for evaluation. To begin with a member of staff from west kirby office arrived late. Then rather than give me the evaluation said he would let me know. 24 hours later ive heard nothing. By the way we are selling 2 houses at same time . I rang again and was told they would get back to me , which they didnt. My experience has been no communication and poor service and due to this jc have lost sale of two houses

Absolutely horrible

Absolutely horrible! They show absolutely no care in the world for their tenants! They forget whay they speak to you, they ignore you, and they don't seem to want to respect their contracts. Just for reference, I reported some relatively easy to fix maintentance issues 2 months ago and they still haven't been solved. They are just the worst! Stay away from them if you value your sanity

Bebington branch.

Bebington branch. Went to view a property with Jones and Chapman at a prearranged time to have the door shut in my face as agent had other viewers. Attempts to escalate to senior managers met with resistance Poor communication and customer service Reluctant to return.

I am writing this review as a potential Frustrated Purchaser

I am writing this review as a potential purchaser of a house on their site, the house was setup on a “modern auction”, which is short for “estate agent gets a lot of money and everyone else involved either gets less or pays more”. However my feedback is not based on that it’s about the complete lack of transparency of the purchase process or aspect of it.. The property sale page mentions it being sold under “modern auction” and refers to T&C.. and that where it ends with a reference, I searched the site there is no mention of “modern auction” anywhere about from the page where it’s, not what this means including..When the sale isWhat the terms of the sale areLegal pack availability (if any)The cost of the process...Nothing zip zero.. lack of transparency... just a bit but here is the kicker we were told twice VERBALLY only. That the fee was £6k... ( this is on a house with a “guide price of 63k ) no details on whether this was including or excluding VAT. However since it not written down anywhere on the site It could be a arbitrary figure.The “modern auction” is a rip off at the best of times and is under investigation by trading standards, due to lack of transparency. However Jones and Chapman if you are reading this please not there is a huge difference between lack of transparency, and no transparency with no supporting information available on you primary sales portal.

Out of several estate agents in the area my Mum chose to sell her house through Jones & Chapman based on reviews/recommendations. Outstanding service from the get go. Very professional, yet very friendly. Put my Mum at ease and made her feel very comfortable dealing with them. Sold my Mums house very quick, with everything explained clearly. Would highly recommend and wouldn't hesitate to use them again when needed. Only names I can remember are Ben and Grace (I think that's right), but all staff are very lovely. Thank you all for a great service! From Maureen and Katie x

Put house on the market and paid for the overpriced package.Signed contract , monies handed over then that was that. 3 viewings all carried out by me. I was promised an open house, booked a weekend away, never did i hear nor see sales man again once monies exchanged his words were " it's in our interest to find you somewhere to move to" , not even one contact , suggestion or follow up. Put in a complaint it was ignored. Took house off the market. Them some months later received a glossy brochure through the door with my house plastered all over the front as sold subject to terms. All my photos were on leaflet and these were distributed throughout the neighbourhood with no authorisation from me.They offered £50 , they breached their own contract.I didn't take the £50. I would not recommend them.

After interviewing a couple of local estate agents J&C sold their marketing strategy well and won our business. The process from taking professional photographs to creating a premium listing online was swift and communication was fine. Thereafter, feedback from viewings was pretty good although ocassional prompting was necessary. The final sales process was a little elongated although this was not due to lack of action on J&Cs part, rather a poor choice of solicitor from the buying party. Interations with the J&C staff were all positive, friendly and professional Overall: satisfied with experience and would use again

Jones & Chapman - Little Sutton, are a fabulous Estate Agent Team. From Ben visiting to take all the information, Valuation, and Pictures of your home, to Grace and Marie visiting with potential buyers. They are always mindful it is your home, and do their best to draw the best features of your home to the buyers attention. They were very good value for money. I would sell with them again.

No stars

I’d give no stars if I could. I tried to arrange a viewing but no-one returned my numerous voicemail messages or replied to e-mails. I then discovered that someone who works at the estate agent had put an offer in on the property. Maybe this is why they weren’t keen to contact me, despite the seller still wanting viewings to take place.

Would NEVER recommend...

We were recommended a solicitor by J&C Heswall - who was based in Leeds ?? This solicitor was beyond useless and provided an appauling service resulting in unnecessary and unacceptable delays and expense. I found out that J&C received a commission in excess of £400 from this solicitor; perhaps this motivated J&C more than looking after their customers....

Really p*s*ing me off with their incessant marketing calls, even though I have never sold a house with them or even used their services!! Told them numerous times to stop yet they don't listen. So here is a review for you stick in your pipe and smoke. AVOID unless you want to hear off them for years to come! They clearly don't listen.
