    Disadvantages Disadvantages Their costs

    ~~*~~*~~ Bairstow Eves ~~*~~*~~ Being in the midst of a real move (the last one only involved buying a house and moving all my stuff in the back of me dad's extra large Volvo) whereby I've had to market the ghetto property, comply with all the ridiculous rules and plan my 'Moving Weekend', I feel that although I may be jinxing the entire sale by writing this review, I've experienced just about enough of the estate agent world to write my ever-so-exciting review. ~*~ I want to move ~*~ Oh, what a mistake. For anyone about to purchase a property, let me impart one piece of advice - buy one ... more

    Advantages Advantages nationwide advertising on web site

    Disadvantages Disadvantages don't have own web-site- only rightmove.co.uk

    We put our house on the market early last year by sticking a home-made sign in the garden. We got repeated phone calls from Bairstow Eves saying they had buyers waiting. We were putty in their hands having never before sold a property. We knew our private sale sign was annoying them- they were desperate to get their sign put in our road where few houses ever come on the market. The man from Bairstow Eves who came to measure up and take photos was well versed, personable and mature- not a whizz kid with a filofax, and he didn't smell of sweat as a previous agent we'd checked out had. The agent ... more

    I have recently moved, NO THANKS to Bairstow Eves! Started off well, Called into a local office, and they was all so polite, I invited them around to give me an estimate of my house, (along with a few others) Anyways, this really nice man from Bairstow Eves came round, told me how well there company sells houses, and what a great advertising job they do, He spent about a hour and a half with me going through everything. He really sold the company to me, I had someone coming the next day, so I told the really nice man at bairstow eves I'd let him know by the weekend. They wasnt the cheapest ... more

    Advantages Advantages Fast promotion of property.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Slow to respond, never ever return your calls, Empty Promises

    Well here is my story... I have a one bedroom ex local authority flat in london. It was first put on the market in June 2003 for £130K. The first estate agent was crap and did not really do anything to try and sell our flat and then eventually we realised that the selling price was way too high. Left them and put on market with a few other agencies at the same time. Had a few second viewings but no offers. As we are looking for move, we try a famous agent and decided to pay a higher estate agent fees if we want a quick sale. It was 1.5% of the selling price..not a lot to some of you but if the ... more

    Advantages Advantages They seem to have a number of good properties...

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Poor customer service, pushy staff, disorganised.

    Ok. My experience of estate agents up until now has been pretty good- but what a comedown. The staff at BE were pushy and abrupt over the phone, "I don't know if you're qualified" (for a mortgage) the Agent said huffily, and put me down for an appointment with their advisors. Well, I wouldn't be flathunting if I wasn't 'qualified'!! She also complained about customers she had taken to view the property I was interested in, which I thought was unprofessional. Anyway, I cancelled the appointment the following day: "can I ask WHY" said the Agent, rather sharply, and I simply stated that I didn't ... more
