Reputations are not built overnight
In Referenceline's view, this track record is more important than the ratings. Don't be impressed by a few old reviews which may not be representative.  Look for firms with a commitment to asking for feedback - good or bad - from their customers.  We recommend that you look for a track record of ratings and reviews in at least 9 of the last 12 months and that you should not be too concerned about an isolated negative review.  Ask the firm for their side of the story.
 


 
Code of Practice
Businesses have a legal responsibility to treat you fairly, but it's often hard to know what questions to ask or what standards to expect.  They are the experts and you should be able to rely on them to help you make decisions.  These questions explain the commitments that this business has made to follow a code of practice and they will help you understand what you have a right to expect.

You can see how many customers have said "Yes" in answer to each question, but please don't expect 100% in every case.  Nobody's perfect and some customers may not be completely sure about the answer.  It's more important that you understand these questions and discuss them with the business so that you both agree what good service means for you.  A responsible business will be happy to explain the details to you and it's always better to clarify these points upfront to avoid misunderstandings later on.

Customer Review
 
The property was a semi detached house with two bedroom in a quite Cul-de-Sac. It was in need of major modernisation and refurbishment, but it’s location is lovely.
 

"I found the agent to be very professional and organised, helpful and very approachable. They organised all the viewing as the property was empty, and made the process of the sale run smoothly and stress free. I would recommend Greenwood James and definitely use them again."

Bungalow in the next street to where we lived. Renovated by builders so no interesting features remained.

Edwardian semi in Bolton. Very large rooms with original features. Large well – stocked gardens.
 

"They kept us well – informed. Liaised with buyers solicitors who was proving to be difficult. Promoted property on internet as opposed to local press."
