WOOD LANE COTTAGE SOWERBY I tried to find out information on this property after speaking to the owner of the estate agent, who contradicted herself several times and other colleagues. The line was cut off; we called back straight away to be told an offer had been put in; they weren't accepting any other offers for the property! I must say your customer service is dreadful. Update. My comment has now been hidden on the Facebook Post. They have now returned asking me to put an offer in on the property!

Do not rent from VG estate agents, as tenants they do not have your back at all. Worst estate agents we've ever rented from. Glad to not have to deal with them anymore.

Would highly recommend VG- I have rented, bought and eventually sold property through them and all staff were always responsive, friendly and supportive at all times. Most recently I have sold a house through VG and whilst selling a house is never easy, Nicola made the journey was always so lovely and helpful, kept me informed and helped to move things along.

Unfortunately i certainly would not recommend this estate agent. Very unprofessional and confrontational. Not interested in selling properties unless they are the higher price points on file. Never inform potential buyers about viewings or discuss offers. Stay away.

Never get back to you as promised. Asked twice for a viewing for 1 property 2 hrs after it was listed and they ignored me and then 2 days later it had gone and they said 'you've missed out this time' and they just never bothered to ring me back regarding a 2nd viewing after speaking to them on the phone
