YOPA Reviews

"Let down by saying I was outside 14 day cooling period the buyer pulled out my health couldn't cope."

"I marketed my property with Yopa in May 2021 and thought I signed up to no sale no fee but accidentally signed up to a 10 month contract. This was all done online and was sent a contract but no price was attached to the document so naturally I assumed(wrongly) that I had signed up to a no sale no fee. Yesterday I received a bill for \u00a31,584.00 to my surprise. I tried to argue it but no joy Yopa stated that all the fees were clearly displayed but I still can\u2019t see them on the attached document"

"WARNING DON'T USE IF YOU ARE A BUYER. \n\nThe only good thing about using them is that signing up is very easy and sending any details which they need too is very easy too. The estate agent Simon whom showed us around the house we want to buy was pleasant enough to start off with. \n\nAbout 3 days or so after putting in our offer though he called like once a week asking how we were getting on and trying to push us along with the whole process. They also called our advisors too and tried to hurry them along with it all as well. Simon also said that the sellers lawyers hadn't heard from our lawyers which was totally untrue! I understand that this is his job but as first time buyers it is incredibly stressful. Filling out forms and actually getting mortgage does actually take time. The whole process takes a couple of months on average not a couple of weeks like they seem to think it should. Not everyone has thousands of pounds ready to go and a Mortgage offer with a click of their fingers. We and our advisors also kept\/keep being told and messaged that the buyers want to pull out of the sale \"because it is taking too long\" or put the house back on the market because its \"taking too long.\" We and our advisors have said multiple times that everything is in hand. They only put the house on the market back in May 2020 so its not like the house has been on forever and we made the offer back at the end of July. Recievening messages and calls like this is highly unprofessional in my opinion. It has also caused a lot of extra stress on us which we could do without right now. I would avoid using them as a buyer and wish the sellers had a different estate agent. The harassment is unreal. YOPA word of advice don't promise your sellers a quick sale and stop harassing the buyers its very off putting. \n\n"

"\"\"Watch ALAN PARKER in South Wales\/West...Owes thousands of pounds to people, using false driving licence and thoroughly disgusting individual. Tried to warn YOPA Directors but they were not interested. Also stay away from ALAN PARKER ESTATES and TRISH PARKER ESTATE AGENTS. Owe landlords a fortune."

I took the full package including viewings. In the sales pitch they make false promises about how flexible they are and can do next day and weekend viewings but none of it is true. My house was on the market with them for 2 months in which the agent failed to turn up for 2 viewings wasting time for potential buyers one of whom travelled for more than 100 miles. Had 3 different agents in the 2 months period which shows they have a high staff turnover and seemed like the agents have no clue about the areas. They agreed to refund me £150 out of the £1100 I paid to them, this was more than 3 months ago and after constant reminders I still have not received the agreed compensation.
