Just done what I should have done in the beginning - read WHB reviews. What a terrible outfit, in particular the Swaffham office and Jessica King - I wouldn't rate them as high as they are - incompetence personified - no wonder Estate Agents have such an abysmal reputation.. We travelled from south coast to North Norfolk to look for a retirment area and to view some properties, all prearranged. Liked one , so when we returned home we put our house on the market and made an offer; this was ac ...

Just read the above comment, this is quite frankly typical cooperate agent twaddle. This is a common ploy used by this type of agent to gain the mortgage business and is not used to protect the sellers at all. As an agent, if you do your job properly and gather all the information in the first place then you will have an understanding on the prospective purchasers buying position. It iw worth pointing out the agent is within their rights to do this. ...
