This company is weird as they have not bothered to contact me regarding a house viewing request and the property I was interested in is still on the market. Now I have spotted a second property and no one can tell me anything about the property because the sales team are out of the office! this is no way to run a business. A house purchase is stressful enough without this sort of nonsense.
