Good afternoon Sarah,
We have read your review in full and would like to extend our deepest apologies for the level of customer service you experienced whilst purchasing through us.
We are saddened that what should have been such a beautiful time was stressful and far from exciting for you, as this certainly is not the Strike way. Our aim is to make moving home simple, and free, and we apologise that this may not have been the case in relation to the property you were involved with.
Your feedback is duly noted and we hope you are happily settled in your home.
Best wishes,
The team at Strike

GoogleIf I could give less than 1 star then I would. We originally advertised when Strike was House Simple and then with only 2 days notice they changed the name. We were sold a pipe dream from the beginning, all sounded so great, "we will sell your house for free whether it takes 2 weeks, 2 years etc." Absolutely brilliant we thought, so we decided to take out the additional packages of hosted viewings and professional photography with premium listing.
The photographs were taken within a few days and we was ready to go live but had to delay due to the first lockdown being introduced. Once the lockdown was relaxed we had to contact them to go live as they didn't bother contacting us. We also had to write our own narrative as they only did a very brief 4 lines of non-descript text.
The house was advertised through the usual channels and we had a handful of viewings but nothing concrete. Communicating with our rep was a constant source of frustration, the only number you get is a switchboard, every time I rung I had to leave message after message to be contacted back only to never receive a call back.
This is were is starts to unfold, 5 months into being advertised, we were left a voicemail from a member of the team to say we need to drop our price to sell and that they wouldn't be marketing us in 30 days. Thought it was a bit strange so I rang the team, having to go through the woeful switch board service only to have to leave a message to be contacted back, did not receive a call back until I rang again and pestered. Although we paid to advertise professionally, they was going to cease advertising us on any channels, even their own website unless we paid to extend. This was not explained at any part of the process and the salesman stated they'd market us for as long as it takes as stated above. The only time limit we was told was on the hosted viewings which was 6 months. They desperately wanted us to drop the price but we'd already dropped it 3 times to drum up interest during a global pandemic!
I lodged a complaint during this call stating how they'd lied and "sold us up the river with a pipe dream".
A week or so later we had another viewing request, luckily this went well and we had an offer come through. This is were it gets even more frustrating, communication with the woeful switchboard was just horrendous, could never get through to who we wanted to speak to and would never get a call back. And we wasn't alone in this, our buyer had exactly the same experience, in the end we dealt directly with our buyer as it was just unbearable.
Once we accepted our offer, it was displayed as legitimate through the online account, we decided to place an offer on another house. The estate agent for the new house rang Strike to verify that we were in a legitimate position, they eventually got through only to get someone completely unconnected to our sale to say our buyer were not in a viable position which they actually was. Our offer was rejected and the house sold to someone else, back to square one!
We stopped all correspondence with Strike as we were just passed from pillar to post, never having a direct contact number with anyone who was supposedly dealing with our sale. We communicated directly with the buyer and through our solicitors which was far easier. Strike actually updated us via email the day before completion (having had no contact for a week or 2) to say we are completing on that date even though we'd already exchanged contracts, absolutely hilarious.
We wish we'd never used this awful, deceitful service and just used a high street agent who you can actually communicate with

GoogleThe process of buying a house hasn't exactly been a straight forward one for me due to many factors but Kirsty and Allie at Strike were always on hand to guide me and today I finally completed on my purchase. They were extremely responsive to any queries I had, answering any and all matter of questions I posed as a first time buyer, and I felt they were really dedicated in ensuring I got the best deal possible in the midst of a global pandemic. Cannot fault them in anyway, absolute super stars and I will have no hesitation in using their services again in the future.

GoogleI was a first-time buyer, and the agents from Housesimple/Strike made the whole process really easy and straightforward for me. Apart from suggesting the best solicitors and explaining the steps I had to undertake to buy the property, they also offered mortgage advice which resulted in getting the best possible deal on the market, free of charge and without any additional stress related to the arduous process of bank interviews to obtain the agreement in principle and money. I was very happy with the process as a whole, and 4.5 months later I became a homeowner!
