Romans - Farnham Arvostelua 6

our experience with the Farnham office wasn’t good. They valued our house and tied us into a 21-week contract only to tell us 2 months later that based on viewer feedback and current market, they believe our house is worth 35k less then originally marketed, and 15k less then the reduction in price we’d already made. We have a 3 bed semi detached, and they tried telling me we should price to that of a 2 bed property, or another area such as church crookham, which made no sense to me as were a 3 bed in Farnham. At the same time charters advertised an identical property to ours (as we’re a new build development) at the same price as the original valuation price, something which Romans advised made no sense as they won’t sell it, which they did sell. I had 2 other agents value the property and provide market report and confirmed the price they were pushing us towards didn’t match that of a 3 bed semi in Farnham so didn’t understand the logic. When we requested to get out the contract as they no longer believe in their own valuation and therefore are not the right agents for us, we had some very unprofessional and heated conversations telling us we’re going to have to just take it off the market. At the time these conversations were happening we did receive an offer, one that they agreed to a sale price of 7k more then that of the price Romans wanted us to reduce to, only confirming they were incorrect. They then went and advertised our neighbouring property, also a 3 bed semi, only marginally bigger which was originally 30k more when sold by the developer, at 140k more then the price they told me mine was worth. This further confirmed to me they value properties at a much higher price to win business, before pushing you to reduce the price in order to sell it. We also found out from our buyers they lied and stated I was pregnant with another due imminently and needed a swift sale, I’m not pregnant nor had we yet found anywhere to go, but they failed to communicate to us our buyers required a quick move and therefore the sale has now fallen through because they can’t wait any longer, both us and our buyers are dissatisfied with their service.
I would just be careful with the time they tie you into sole agency as we aren’t the only ones on our estate they did this to.

Everyone on the team that we interacted with at Romans (Matt Monk, Jack Bowden, Samm Hooker & Hannah Russell) were pleasant, professional and efficient.

Jack went above & beyond trying to help resolve a fence issue with a neighbouring homeowner.

The service we have received to sell out home has been outstanding. We received regular communication to be kept up to date with where we are and what’s needed next. Letting me know when things are not moving so we can work more efficiently with the Solicitor. Jack has been awesome to work with, very patient, competent and professional in his role. Would highly recommend using Romans.

Fantastic service from Farnham Branch. Staff really helpful, efficient and professional. I would definitely recommend for selling a property. Special thanks to Hannah, Luke and Jack on helping me so much through what was a very stressful time.

All the members of staff I have worked with are very professional, helpful and prompt at responding and updating me on progress or issues. I would definately recommend Romans.
