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.

Buyers: Offer: 97%
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.

2 bed detached bungalow.
Close to all amenities(beach, shops, bus/train routes)
 

"I had seen this property up with an agent & totally discounted it, as I viewed one 6 houses away which I thought met my needs perfectly.
Neil rang me when the owner changed agents.
I almost skipped up to meet him one evening.
It was perfect! Neil had taken on board my requirements and used his extensive knowledge of this lovely town (my home town) to earmark it for me."

New build detached 3/4 bedroom house in a quiet location, yet close to town center, sea.
 

"Neil enabled me to buy this, the perfect house for my needs in the perfect location for me, from the very 1st viewing, he patiently helped me through the initial stages, subsequent viewings, coordinating meetings with the developers. He was always willing to help and advise in this prolonged transaction due to the problems resulting from the difficulties in the sale of my previous property. He helped in many ways, by listening and understanding, with patience. "

Semi detached 3-4 bedroomed house previously a local authority and police house. Residential road 10 mins from town Whitstable Kent.
 

"Our house was under offer from past April early May. Everything went well at first we were very pleased with the service. All went quiet and by August we hardly heard a thing in fact the only up-date was when we phoned the office and were told everything was going along. We had 2 false starts in September. If only we had had regular updates we would have coped better with the whole business and now are very glad it "may" be over."
