After struggling to sell our property…

After struggling to sell our property for over a year, we turned to Springbok to help us with this. Despite it taking longer than expected to secure a sale, and sometimes it being difficult to get hold of Springbok, we managed to secure a sale thanks to Ernest using his experience to help us.

Excellent service at Springbok.

All that I dealt with at Springbok are honest, truthful and were quick to reply and respond to any queries I had. Alex, Matt and Anna I had dealings with and I would recommend them to anyone. Thomas at Latimer Lee was also excellent and processed quickly and efficiently.

Springbok properties is a rogue estate…

Springbok properties estate agent, take deposit from buyers and when your mortgage is not through your deposit will be forfeited. From day 1 of my transaction with them I told them I was not a cash buyer. I paid for an admin fee that I will not be gazumped. However my mortgage lender tried to book valuation and they informed the property is no longer available and they will not pay me back my deposit. My deposit of £3k. They explained it will be used to offset on the house purchase on completion, now they have withhold my money saying I have forfeited my deposit. I found this ridiculous. Mark, Sam, Mia at Springbok you have done no good. Please return my money.You asked that I should speak to my solicitors which I did and searches was carried out. From the date I was given. November 15th my lender has been trying to book valuation with springbok and they failed to book the valuation. If the seller pulled out then the transaction did not go ahead and my money is due back. What I was told is my deposit is meant to pay for the property not for my money to be forfeited to spingbok. I am dissatisfied. I was gazumped even when the admin fee reason is not to be.

Dear Mo, thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you’re unhappy with your experience. After reviewing your case, we can see that once you agreed to purchase the property and entered into the exclusivity agreement with both ourselves and the seller, there was a period of two months during which no action was taken from your side. Unfortunately, due to the extended timescales, the seller ultimately decided to withdraw from the sale. Throughout this period, we made several attempts to contact you, including our final communication informing you of the sale falling through. Unfortunately, we did not receive a response. When we heard from you recently regarding whether the purchase was still possible, we explained that the opportunity had passed due to the elapsed time. The terms and conditions regarding deposit refunds are clearly outlined in the agreement you entered into back in September, and we are obligated to adhere to these for all parties involved. If you would like any further assistance or clarification regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Best regards, Springbok Customer Services

It's been over a year

It's been over a year. I'm still pursing my claim for a refund of my deposit that was taken from me. Springbok gave me a contract but refused to negotiate with the vendor when the boiler broke. They didn't communicate with me for over a week ignoring my emails texts and phone call. The property ombudsman have taken a year to investigate and its still not concluded. When they asked Springbok for all correspondence they provided nothing. Hence my previous review a bunch of cowboys. Don't waste your time by trying to respond Springbok. I am very unhappy about everything. You've offered no assistance. Shoddy poor and Not to be trusted!! I note that Springbok have responded below. This isn't to do with the agreement it's about their none existent method of communicating,rather tactic not to communicate/negotiate so that you eventually give up trying to contact them (after a week) and pull out so they can keep your deposit and use the contractual agreement as an excuse/scapegoat. It's manipulative and dishonest. Don't give them your deposit. They will find any excuse under the sun to keep it! They also got the information incorrect. The property ombudsman are still investigating my initial complaint to which they tell me you have no record of communication with me. I hasten to say I kept copies of all my texts and messages to you and have given it to them. Ps. This is not defamatory comment as you tried to suggest. Unfortunately for you it's the truth.

Agent replied · 25 October 2024

Dear Debbie, we appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns, and I want to assure you that we take your feedback seriously. We understand that the recent developments with the property transaction have been disappointing, and we are disheartened to learn that your house purchase did not end positively. In response to your concerns about the deposit refund, we would like to provide some clarification based on the terms outlined in the agreement you signed. As you are aware, the agreement specifies certain conditions for a refund, and after careful review, we can confirm that the issues raised do not meet the criteria outlined in the agreement. The issues are not structural, and would have been able to be addressed. You also confirmed that your funding is no longer available which would also not constitute a refund. The buyer deposit scheme is in place to protect the vendors from wasted marketing time, whilst in turn protecting buyers from the risk of gazumping. We regret that we couldn't salvage the transaction in the advanced stages it had progressed to and wish you all the best with your buying journey. Best regards, Springbok Customer Services

Awful communication and customer service

Communication is something staff members at Springbok severely lack. I have had to chase every step of the way and they have still not been able to sell my property even at a reduced market rate. I have left multiple messages for Hayden and Craig and not heard back. I’ve sent emails that haven’t been responded to, most recently trying to serve notice so I can take my property back. If you are considering selling your property through Springbok I would seriously reconsider.Edit 16/12. Still no response

I recently sold my house using Springbok Properties

I recently sold my house using Springbok Properties. While the representatives I dealt with were friendly and professional, I had significant concerns about the business model and transparency.Springbok initially presented themselves as having access to a network of domestic and international buyers. However, their process involved listing my property on platforms like Zoopla and Rightmove and vetting inquiries to ensure buyers were in a "proceedable" position, A service that any estate agents could provide.When it came to pricing, Springbok offered a fixed fee contract. Initially, they proposed paying me £210,000 for my property (valued at £220,000) for a "quick sale." After I expressed dissatisfaction, this was revised to £215,000, along with the promise of covering legal fees. However, the phrase "standard legal fees" turned out to be misleading and didn’t cover all aspects of conveyancing that could have occurred which would have left me out of pocket had any additional work occurred.Springbok ultimately sold my house for £230,000, meaning they retained the £15,000 difference as their fee. While this arrangement was part of the contract I signed, I feel their marketing could have been clearer about how this works. Comparing this to traditional estate agents in my area who typically charge around 0.75% commission which would have been around £1,725, the cost feels disproportionately high.While the staff were professional and easy to work with, I wouldn’t use Springbok Properties again due to the lack of transparency and in my case the extremely high cost of their service.I’m sure their front facing media trained representatives will soon be along to debunk what I have said where they can, but this is my opinion and experience with using springbok. Would I personally use them again or advise anyone else to? Certainly not.Edit- Score reduced from 2 star to 1 star after you tried and failed to have my accurate and honest review removed under the guise of defamation.

Dear Simon, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we're sorry to hear that you were concerned about transparency regarding our services. We take such concerns seriously and appreciate the opportunity to clarify a few points.You are correct in noting that we have access to a wide network of buyers of whom we often sell properties to. As part of this, we advertise on several platforms, including Rightmove and Zoopla, to ensure exposure of your property is maximised, along with other strategies that differs from traditional estate agents.Regarding the conveyancing fees, you are right in that the "standard" legal fees covered in your agreement do not include all possible costs, such as disbursements or additional conveyancing services that may arise during the process. We make every effort to ensure this is clear, hence we state that we cover standard conveyancing costs. As for our marketing and pricing approach, everything is outlined in the contract and discussed during our communication with sellers. We offer several tailored fast sale options based on individual circumstances and preferences. It’s important to note that, rather than promoting a one-size-fits-all approach, we determine the best strategy through conversations with our clients to meet their specific needs and cater our services to each individual seller.We want to assure you that our response is solely intended to address your concerns and provide clarification, additionally, we would like to note that businesses do not have control over what Trustpilot removes, as they operate independently with their own guidelines that we, like other businesses, must adhere to.We appreciate your feedback and hope this helps to clear up some of the points you raised.

Awful experience

Awful experience. Nothing but issues from day one. Severe lack of communication and total time wasters. My original review was removed as Springbok did not like me speaking the truth so I put that on Google review. I do not recommend using this company. They are more interested in making a profit than selling your home. I do not believe the high rated reviews because when a bad review is printed, within days, a few good ones follow. Very suspicious. EDIT Your reply is false as I had contact via email as soon as the negative review was posted.

Do not recommend

If I could give 0 stars I would. They insisted I change my review as it was defamatory. But I have nothing nice to say about the company. Not a nice experience. Even had the audacity to ask me to recommend them after completion, which is not going to happen ever. They do not like negative feedback. They will have your reviews removed. They try to sound fair and compassionate during the transaction but they are anything but because right at the end they will lower their offer. But they are the ones to complain when you highlight this to others and they get you to change your review. That says it all.

I wouldn't use them or recommend them

If you want to have nice to see so many great reviews. Thats why we went with Springbok.Never, ever again. Different agent promising the earth when in reality it was nothing compared to our experience.Right from start promising 8 to 10 weeks from start to finish, when it was almost 12months. (The reason they didn't get 1 star is our house did eventually sell)From offer accepted to completion was around 6 months and there was no chain, the family that purchased were in rental and we have gone into rental. I am aware that it was a little complicated, but it could have been so much less stressful for us and our buyers if there wasn't so many different Springbok personnel involved at different times.We even went with their recommended solicitor, which got changed a fee weeks in after offer accepted.The replacement solicitor were even worse than springbok themselves, If you want /like sleepless nights and worrying with massive amounts of stress, with a threat of buyer constantly threatening to pull out then go with this COMPANY. AND ..... letting the solicitor overcharge you by £900.... thankfully my wife kept all emails and we now have that back Springbok is the choice for you

Agent replied · 28 December 2024

Dear Adrian & Sharon, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear that your property sale was successfully completed, but we’re sorry to learn about the frustrations you experienced during the process. Property transactions can sometimes be more complex than anticipated, especially when additional factors arise. In this case, the sale was significantly impacted by multiple charges registered against the property that originated outside of Springbok and the requirement for legal undertakings from various parties. These complexities unfortunately extended the timeline and added to the challenges for everyone involved. We understand your concerns about the solicitor, however, the change in personnel was outside of our control. We can assure you that all parties involved worked tirelessly to resolve the issues and ensure the sale progressed, despite several unexpected changes and complications. Regarding your concerns about stress and communication, we always strive to provide consistent support. though with transactions as intricate as this one, there are occasions when multiple team members may be required to assist to keep things moving, We apologise if this gave the impression of inconsistency. We appreciate your patience throughout the process and understand that it wasn’t as seamless as we had hoped. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts, and we wish you all the best in the future. Best regards, Springbok Customer Services
