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.

Sellers: Offers: 100%
SELLERS Did the firm confirm all offers in writing (including email)?

Buyers: Offer: 100%
BUYERS Did the firm accept your offer without attaching any conditions (such as that you should arrange your mortgage through them)?
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.

3 bed bungalow, quiet location in Rippe.
 

"Offer made by first people to view, prior to sales details being finalized, who offered full asking price if taken off the market. Therefore agent had little work to do – thought this may have been reflected in their charges but obviously not!"

Semi detached property

"Throughout the process chess moves were very eager to help. They kept us updated on the latest properties to the market that met our needs.
Being first time buyers we found their knowledge and assistance to be very valuable.
Everything was explained clearly and the whole process was stress free.

Over all it was a pleasure to deal with the company."

1980,s detached properties in Bredon

"Initially we purchased a property through Chess Moves and we soon realised what a professional and helpful bunch they were.

As a consequence we have since sold 2 properties through them and again have been totally delighted with their service. We felt they will do their utmost to provide the best they can, to get the right sale at the right price for optimum results.

Totally happy to recommend them, and have done to friends ."

Customer Review
 

"Having used Chess Moves before in what was a very quick and uncomplicated process, I was keen to use them again for this sale, due to unforeseen problems arising that were outside of the control of Chess Moves, the sale became extremely problematic. Chess Moves continued to offer nothing short of first class service and went far beyond their contractual obligations to assist the process and keep me informed I would have no reservations in recommending Chess Moves after their excellent service provided."
