Terrible experience
*Originally, i posted this review on Bellway's page, but was told that even though my issue was with them, i needed to move my review to LSL Properties page, despite them only being the messenger.*
Recently had an accepted offer on a property where the seller had part exchanged and the house was now being sold by Bellway who were using LSL Properties as an intermediary.
We were fully aware that the current owners new build house would be ready in December and therefor the current owners would keep occupancy of the house that we were purchasing until then, which was fine.
Massive red flags came a few days later when we were asked for a £17k non refundable deposit immediately before any surveys had taken place of the property and almost 6 months before we were due to exchange contracts.
Further red flags came when Katie, the sales advisor told us that we needed to find a solicitor that "wasn't difficult" and "who would work to Bellways terms" in response to ours telling us to avoid the company and to not agree to anything until nearer the move in date.
I've found reviews on Trustpilot where these new builds have been delayed by up to 6 months, meaning we would definitely have lost our money, or had an infinite wait for the owners of the house we're buying to get their new Bellway home.
Cash upfront, a very pushy sales tactics and homes delayed all stinks of cashflow problems, and it's even worse that they hide behind LSL.
