TrustpilotI recently contacted by an agent from…
Please think twice before putting your moneyI recently contacted by an agent from Flambard Williams(FB) and informed about the paragon house in Manchester and reported that it has got huge potential and promised about number of good prospects on buying this property in Manchester. I paid 1000 pounds as a booking fee, 1500 for the solicitor and 250 for the mortgage. The staff from FB were nice and they encouraged to make the initial contract for 15 percent of the property. but i waited for the mortgage to go through. high street lenders came out with lot of 'negative stuff' about paragon house and declined. I have contacted FB and asked for refund at least the booking fee, since the lenders have given lot of negative things about the property. Jack from FB has kindly agreed for speaking to the developer and contact me back. its been more than a month i haven't received a call.i am glad that i havent made another 15 percent to initiate my exchange of contract otherwise i would have lost more money. so please be careful in buying an apartment, they make lot of false promises about the apartment , but the reality is different, but Kelly from FB is great, she is vey good in responding to messages.hope i will get a call back from FBthank you for the mail, THE BROKER (LENDER /MORTGAGE) WAS ORGANIZED THROUGH FLAMBARD - WILLIAMS(Winston)negative stuff-1)the property is not suitable for lending2)property unsuitable for security due to flat located on the 3rd floor of 9 storey block3)no EPC rating/exemption available4)property is outside policy, would not attract owner occupiers due to development being investors led5)external wall system/cladding for which a MHCLG compliant statement not provided and so on.

Hi So in regards to the 'negative stuff' from the high street lenders can you elaborate please? Feel free to email info@flambardwilliams.co.uk.In regards to the reservation fee, as per the form you signed, this is non-refundable. We do not keep this fee this is kept by the developer.There were no false promises, you simply approached the wrong lender as there are many clients who have had valuations and have come back no problem, so the issue is more to do with your broker and the lender chosen.In regards to your points1) It is suitable as clients have mortgages in there2) Not secure? The apartment is on the 3rd floor. The apartment is 20 metres high, you have to jump pretty high to get in through the window or have a long lader.3) You purchased off plan, EPC can only be granted on competion4) Outside the policy of your mortgage is again down to the wrong lender being chosen.5) EWS1 form was in your contract to be granted upon completion. Again this can only be the case, they can't grant an EWS1 without completing the build.All the best.

I have just exchanged contracts on my first two investment properties. Charleigh Cooper, who was my first point of contact at FW, was helpful, knowledgeable & friendly. Nothing was too much trouble & she was always available to answer any questions that I had both out of hours or over the weekend.I would highly recommend Charleigh & the team at FW especially if, like me, you are a novice in the world of buy to let / property investment.

GoogleBuying your first property is a very stressful process and after speaking to so many real estate agents, choosing Flambard Williams was the best decision I made. They were very informative from start to end, amazing follow up and assistance all the way, and so much more. I love that they are always checking in and making sure everything is going smoothly.

GoogleThey proposed buy a property at The Block liverpool apartments. We trusted this agency for this property to buy. But they informed the builder went to Administration. All the investors lost their money bcos of this. Don't trust this company please use some other agency for your money safety. This agency only gave +ve about the builder and they showed builder website.
Stalin · 27 December 2023
Agent replied · 22 October 2024
Dear Stalin
Totally understand your frustration and we of course can only apologise. We have to take credit when we get the great reviews and be humble when the negative ones come too so please read below in regards to the reasons.
You mention that this is our fault as an agency, however, there were 17 agents selling the same development and we have not taken a penny of your money. The developer were the ones that had your deposit.
When doing our due diligence the developer had assets of £60m and this refurb was only costing just over £4m so there was plenty of assets spare but COVID put a stop to the refurb and the new regulation with EWS1 forms/Cladding meant that the main lending bank revalued their assets.
This pushed their LTV to a point which the bank was not happy with and in turn they went into liquidation.
There were numerous sites around the UK which went into liquidation due to a combination of factors at the time not just this one, however, I understand your main focus is this project and you are left frustrated.
I can assure you that we have done everything we can to chase and pursue this for you. We have kept you updated throughout the last 5 years but it has not gone our way for which we are sorry for.

TrustpilotGreat Experience
Being an ex-pat in Spain I needed to do something with my savings. I have been looking for almost a year for an ideal Buy to Let in the UK. After speaking with several agents in the UK I plumped for Flambard Williams.I have to say the service from start to finish was 10 out of 10. I dealt with Scott who walked me through the whole process and once the deal was done Alicia assisted me with all of the paperwork and chased up the lawyers on my behalf I did not have to lift a finger.I now have a great property which is completed and I have just received my first instalment of income.Thanks again to all the team at Flambard Williams

Monika · 8 January 2026
Agent replied · 27 December 2024
Hi Monika
Unfortunately, again, you have not read things clearly, meaning you have misinterpreted the finding. It is important to note that at not point have you lost money due to the property price decreasing or you not getting in rented out. You have lost money due to you miscalculating how much money you had, therefore you had to pull out of purchases after you had paid the developer, which is no fault of ours. Secondly, when we advise that you furnish a property and you don't, then you are going to get decreased rental income.
In regards to your statement above, at no point did the findings state that we failed to provide clear information to a first time investor. Nor did it state that we did not demonstrate the rental was projected, not guaranteed. In fact, 7.5 of the findings stated the following:-
7.5 The Complainant was making a business decision and must take some
responsibility for that; she was expected to carry out her own research and make
sure that, at the very least, she understood the UK house buying process (and
what was expected of her, including what fees she would be liable for) before
committing to any purchases.
Whilst we are open to say that there were findings to state there were minor shortcomings (which we have put procedures in place to rectify) 7.6 stated:-
7.6 Whilst I have identified some minor shortcomings in FW’s service, I am not
persuaded that the Complainant would have acted any differently had they
provided clearer information, or therefore that the situation which arose could have
been avoided.
In fact, the findings did show at 7.7 that we did provide warnings and suggest that you seek independent financial advice, which you ignored. You can see this below from the statement:-
7.7 However, this is mitigated by the fact that they [FW] did provide warnings about seeking
independent advice which the Complainant ignored. I do not consider that FW can
be held responsible for any financial loss the Complainant believes she has
experienced, as it was her decision to proceed.

GoogleMy wife and I had been looking for our first BTL property and after spoken to many property agents we thought it is not going to be easy to have our first BTL property until we met Flambard Williams. Shannice from sales made it so easy from the time she spoke to us and throughout the whole process. She wasn't pushy and more interested in understanding our needs. She took her time to find the best property for us base on our needs and affordability and with in few weeks we have exchanged the contracts. Kelly from client care was also very helpful in their after sale process. I would love to work with them in future and highly recommend them to new or experienced landlords.
