I had applied for a 2 bedroom house and was shortlisted for it, they asked me to provide financial documents to prove if I can afford it which I did. But instead they offered it to someone else with no clear reason. I realised that they offered it to someone else because they noticed my background which not fair. WHG is not worth even 1* as they are bias and racist housing association.

TrustpilotOvercharged for a flat!
You get charged more for a 2 bed 2nd floor flat!!! When their houses rent is cheaper!! I got a daughter who has additional needs and needs a garden to run around to have an outlet for her energy as she can't do it in a top floor flat!! The flat is too small for two of us and I've changed my circumstances and told them my daughter has a disability and they don't care!

GoogleWe have tried many agents, all have failed us. Viewings only started when we appointed FreeAgent247.com. Suddenly, they became regular. However, there were only a few ones needed. Already, the first offer could be accepted and went through. Our agent Linda Rimmel accompanied the whole process. Each time when something was stuck, she could resolve it. Instead of the typical 12 weeks, it only took 10 to exchange contracts.
Our experience tells us that it is a very good decision to take FreeAgent247.com.PositiveQuality

GoogleThe stand out difference between FreeAgent247 and other estate agents is their communication. FreeAgent247 keep you up-to-date with frequent and informative messages. Everything from general housing market updates, to advisories on marketing strategies and behind the scenes marketing tweeks, as well as direct and specific reports on movements with your own property. We actually felt as though we were part of the team, and a valued part at that.
They hit the bases on all the general compliance and legal requirements without any drama or complication, then delivered an enviable level of customer service. We never felt isolated, ignored or taken for granted. We felt special.
Their business model will not meet everyone's needs, until that model is adopted by more 'mainstream' estate agents. It makes perfect sense to me, as a seller and a buyer.
I will be recommending FreeAgent247 without hesitation.

GoogleI have no heistation in providing you with a glowing reference. Dan has always impressed me with his market knowledge and creativity and that is why I used FreeAgent247. Love the business model. My big bug bear with property agents is lack of communication and follow up. This agency works refreshingly closely with prespective buyers and communication is excellent. The photos, presentation and marketing of my property has been excellent. I have throughout felt that they are working hard for me and ultimately acheived a sale bang on the advice they gave but worked hard to exceed expectations. All the FreeAgent staff I have had the pleasure of working with have been committed and delightful even to the point of sorting my washing up prior to a viewing ! The extra mile.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleWe received awful service from this company and in particular, Linda. Very similar experience to the other 1/2 star reviews on Google. We don't believe our offer was ever sent to the seller. The company ethos seems to be hard sales tactics over service. We eventually pulled an offer after being told it was too low (although virtually asking price) and other buyers were more competitive... to find the property still on the market 6 weeks later - rubbish! The only consideration given is 'how much can we make on our 1% fee'. We don't dispute the 1% fee, it was mentioned during the viewing and I understand the model. However, we got the impression that sales agents are trying to create fake interested in houses in order to increase the offers/value and therefore, increase their fee. The market is already vastly over valued.
We were also pestered about our proceedability and our sales agent was contacted to ensure we had sold our house (without prior consent or comms to us), but when we had enquiries about the house we wanted to buy the sales rep, Linda, seemed shocked at the notion, how dare we ask...
Other than being pestered to offer higher, we had no other communication, we weren't informed throughout the process.
Awful service. Would not recommended.

Dear Jacob
I write to you as Compliance & Complaints Officer for FreeAgent247.com.
I refer to your Google review relating to your interest in the property 6 Somme Crescent, Kempsey, Worcestershire, where sadly you were not successful in purchasing amidst other multiple higher bids. I am sorry.
For the sake of good order and reference, I enclose your Google review below.
I have naturally investigated your complaint as a priority in order to respond to you with appropriate urgency.
My response is in the form of a statement by Linda, my FreeAgent servicing this region. I hope and believe her statement replies to your various points.
Please kindly note that the Directors of FreeAgent247.com are both Agents who were formerly in the highest positions of professional service and trust within two of Worcestershire’s previously leading Estate Agencys. They would not stand for any conduct from their FreeAgent team that was not of complete excellence. I personally have worked with Linda for some 15 years. Respectfully to you, I have always admired her diligence, dedication and duty of care.
I am sorry again that your experience with FreeAgent247.com was not a positive one. I apologise unhesitatingly for any upset and distress you experienced with us.
I would be pleased if you would like to discuss this matter further with me personally, I am available to you and indeed any client/purchaser at any time on 07854217036
I wish you all the best in your continued search for a new home and thank you sincerely for taking the time and trouble to post a Google review.
FreeAgent247.com welcomes all and any feedback on our service so that we may continually strive to improve our systems and procedures.
Response Statement from FreeAgent Linda:
“I met Jacob on the 10th April, one of six sets of viewers that day with more to follow the following day and weekend. As always I discussed our OCP (Offer Confirmation Process) and our buyers fee. Jacob expressed his intention to offer and I sent him an OCF (Offer Confirmation Form) that evening. Over the next 6 days I exchanged 10 emails with Jacob’s partner, Naomi and several phone calls. I received an offer from them which was naturally put forward in the best possible light, however as discussed with our client I had three other offers in excess of theirs. In accordance with due diligence and standard, accepted practice, I called their own selling Estate Agent to get confirmation of buying position - that they has sold to a first time buyer. I spoke with Jacob’s partner to ask if they could increase their offer, she did initially but after discussion they decided they could not go any more. Unfortunately, another buyer had cash and outbid all other parties. I cannot account for the suggestion that they were pestered, rather I was just trying to assist their interest, albeit in a very fast-moving situation.
Unfortunately on 24th May those agreed buyers pulled out due to poor health, we returned to the market and instantly agreed a further sale and at a significantly higher figure. There was no fake interest, extensive communication and complete transparency. I am very sad and very sorry that Jacob was dissatisfied with his experience with me.”

When it comes to selling my property there won’t be anyone else I’d rather use.

TrustpilotMaintenance Charge SCAM
Make sure that you check and ensure that if you are paying a monthly maintenance charge that this is being paid to the estate company.
We have lived on a new build estate for 6 years and been charged this fee as has everyone else to only be told now we are moving a company does not currently operate and this charge is not required.
WHG claim to provide affordable housing but happy to SCAM residents for costs they dont pay.
The estate company if and when appointed also cannot claim for any past unpaid charges as they were not in operation for that period so WHG are using this as additional funds.
This should only be paid when an estate company is appointed.
Make sure your new build estate has one and that it is in operation as its likely you are paying WHG extra and should be reinbursed to you.
