GoogleShowed interest in a property for sale, with board outside only after we put a bid in we were told it was auction of which lovelle agency pocketed 5k through their auction front Patinsons. No way will I accept a change to auction again like this it is not the behaviour one expects. Very poor.
Having reviewed the response from lovelle director i can now confirm that the 5000 pound plus 1000 pound vat were real as shown on the invoice sent to me and copied to them by their pattinsons colleagues.
However if this is incorrect as they say send the money back to me.
Their brochure and listing mention nothing about auction neither does it inform of potential extra fees. Only in their contract received after our bid shows this .
The orginal bid was outbid by 500.00 i asked where did this bid come from the answer was from another site. Which I found spurious. Not enough transparency. When i stated that if by 12noon on day of close our bid was not accepted or outbid we would not bid again. Full stop . The mysterious counter bidder suddenly vanished. Again warning bells. Their auction process is not for me it rings to many warning bells. Not enough transparency.
Further to this the property transaction was lacking a document to make it a clean sale. So how can you sell a property which is not in a package ready to be sold if it was an oversight, why? This reeks of amatuerism if not bad practice.
Further to Lovelles response of using my email to Bayley dated at a very early stage, in the process and was pre the problems that were realised using this email as a form of defence is a very poor and now i realise typical form by Lovelles response to a credible complaint.

Thank you for your feedback. I would like to clarify some details regarding our listing and the auction process.
Our listing for the property clearly states that it is being sold by secure sale through an online auction, with a starting bid of £40,000. The details specify that this is a transparent online auction, allowing potential buyers to make informed decisions. Additionally, our partner, Pattinsons, reaches out to interested parties to provide a legal pack and thoroughly explain the process, including the requirements before any commitment is made.
As for the fees, Pattinsons takes a non-refundable reservation fee, of which we do receive a portion, but it is not £5,000 as you mentioned. This fee structure is part of our collaboration with Pattinsons to offer sellers an effective sale method. We apologise if there was any misunderstanding, and we appreciate the chance to clarify.
We will be in touch today to discuss this further. Please feel free to reach out if you have additional questions, and we’d be happy to assist.
Update - We have attempted to contact you on a couple occasions now to discuss this further. However i am aware that the following email was sent by yourself to one of the staff members in branch:
Bayley
Thank you for showing us around the property at 15 High Street, you are probably aware by now that we were successful with the auction.
To that end and with a view to the future and further aquisitions in and around Gainsborough, would it be possible to have a meet for coffee to discuss a working relationship has we found your honesty refreshing.best times for us are Friday after 4.00pm or Saturdays anytime or any evening for a drink.
Best regards
Royston and James Matthews.

GoogleThank you for your help and support during the sale of our property, and purchase of our new property. Nothing was too much trouble and I loved knowing I would be getting an update every Tuesday.
Our property sold within a week of marketing and Bayley was proactive in helping us to find our next property.
Thank you to Naomi for your hard work over the last few weeks too, and for still getting us to completion despite the complications thrown at us due to covid-19.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lovelle, who couldn’t do enough for us, especially after compared to our experience of trying to sell with another agent last year.

FacebookBayley who works here at the Gainsborough Branch has shown myself and my disabled mum around a house a few days ago!
Although she was struggling he was so supportive and helped both of us to see the house and look round at ease! He told us so much information when asking questions and Lovelle even followed up with a call to see if everything was okay.
It was a very top customer service and I cannot fault them in anyway!
We both want to thank Bayley for his help and his kind actions in the viewing!
Highly recommend!!

GoogleLovelle are AMAZING!! They strived to sell our property and made us stick with it when we considered coming off the market. Then they helped find us our beautiful new home.
We had an awful experience with solicitors trying to complete our purchase and the Lovelle staff worked tirelessly to push the purchase to completion. We cannot thank them enough. A special thanks to Katie for all you did to find our new home and make sure we got it!

Direct reviewsFrom beginning to end the team at Lovelle in Gainsborough were fantastic. As first time buyers the process can be quite overwhelming at times however the team at Lovelle made the move really straightforward and quick. Kept us in the loop with what was happening on a regular basis and made sure we were always kept informed towards the end of the process in regards to exchange and completion. Special mention to Georgia, Bayley and Molly who were all super helpful whether it was viewing the property or keeping us informed couldn???t have been more friendly and professional. Will definitely be looking to use Lovelle in the future when we come to sell. Big thank you to the team.

GoogleFrom the time I requested various estate agents to value my property to the final completion of my sale, Lovelle's have been efficient, knowledgeable, professional and kept me up to date at every stage.

Direct reviewsI have been in the property industry for over 35 years as a Chartered Surveyor so have dealt with 100's of estate agents. Recently I asked Lovelle's Gainsborough office to assist in the disposal of a former rented house in Gainsborough. Right from the start the team acted kindly, professionally and courteously and went the extra mile throughout the process. A special thanks to Bayley, Naomi and Georgie and off late Molly. Absolute stars - all of them.

Direct reviewsLovelle have been really helpful throughout the process of selling our house. Bayley was prompt and personable when he came to make the initial valuation and took time to answer all of our questions in a friendly and professional way. We were really pleased with the materials produced to market our house, and were thrilled when it sold much quicker than we'd thought it would - thankyou to Lovelle Estate Agency!

Direct reviewsNaomi made everything clear and very easy to understand the whole time we were dealing with her. She contacted us on a weekly basis without fail, even if there was not much to report, also contacted us in between these time's if needed to. When she needed results she certainly went the extra mile to get her ansrew. Naomi is very professional as well as being extremely friendly with a caring attitude. Naomi has been our rock these past few weeks and really don't know what we would have done without her constant help and advice. We feel she is a total credit to Lovelle. Also would like to thank Bailey for always being there for us from day one. He is very helpful and again his personality is outstanding.

Direct reviewsGeorgia has been an excellent agent during our tenancy with a property, always replies back to emails and visits your home when you have an issue that you cannot describe via the fixflo app. It is sad that we have moved homes not with Lovelle anymore as we couldn't have asked for a better agent.

When I had issues with communication up and down the chain, Naomi Smith was an immense help in chasing and communicating with the chain to ensure things got sorted. I am super thankful!
