“- They are a scam company. Read my experience with them.
- They sold me a property with tenants in situ.
- They did not reveal the fact most of tenants are defaulters and trouble makers. Some of them are served with eviction notice.
- They allegedly had an arrangement with the previous landlord to hide all these facts.
- Their broker (from Michael Financials) took 3 months to get the mortgage offer. Applied 4th Aug and offer cam on 11th November.
- They started pushing me for the exchange the moment their broker got the mortgage offer.
- Once the exchange happened, the sale negotiator who has is impatient like a child till now stopped replying to my emails.
- They have a poor code of practice when it comes to selling the property.
- I have raised a formal complaint with them and will keep updating here on the review page.
- The made me learn that ideally you should not be taking the mortgage if the broker is part of agency company. This way you will be pushed hard on your purchase.
- They are trying to be polite in the reply to this feedback which is just their hypocrisy.
If you are planning to buy any property through Michael property Consultants think twice, thrice or rather....!”
“Michael Bickmore misled me by inaccurately describing a Colchester property I bought through Michaels Property Consultants.
Their Rightmove listing and property brochure claimed an integrated kitchen appliance was included in the sale and he repeated the claim in my viewing. I based my offer on that information. Unfortunately for me that information turned out to be inaccurate and misleading. The day I moved in, I was shocked to discover that the integrated appliance had been removed, leaving a large gap between kitchen units and damage to the neighbouring kitchen unit. I would not have bought a property with an unfinished kitchen.
When I raised the issue, Michael told me that their property listings don’t form part of the contract and that the matter was not under his control.
As a result, I have been forced to raise a formal complaint involving the Property Ombudsman and to initiate legal action to try to resolve the matter.
The Michaels Property website says they “strive to provide people with a customer service well beyond their expectations” but I feel badly let down.
Given the very poor experience I’ve had with Michaels Property Consultants, I wouldn’t believe anything they say again and would urge potential sellers, buyers, landlords and tenants to steer well clear of Michaels Property Consultants.”
