Poor overall experience trying to sell my property with Whitegates over the course of 6 months. Started off well when initially instructing to sell, but once passed over to another colleague in the sales team everything went downhill. Inadequate communication, various attempts to call the person handling my property who never called back the same day resulting in me chasing, some viewings didn’t go through as the person conducting viewings “couldn’t unlock the door”, rejected a potential offer without consulting me first as it was below asking price... just a complete waste of time. Happily paid a £250 fee to be able to go with a much more proactive, professional, and friendly estate agent, who have garnered more interest and offers than Whitegates in just 3 days, with speedy and effective communication via phone and email. Wish I never signed with Whitegates!

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are genuinely sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction with the service you received, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to express your concerns. In regards to the offer below the asking price, we want to clarify that the buyer ultimately decided to withdraw their offer the very next day after it was submitted. They informed us that they had chosen to pursue a different property. In addition, they did not provide the necessary proof of funds, which, in line with our policy, meant they were not financially verified. We always ensure that all potential buyers are financially checked before we proceed with any offers, as this is a key part of our process to ensure the best possible outcome for our clients. We were also informed that you planned to carry out some renovations on the property, which led to the decision to withdraw it from the market temporarily. However, we were surprised to later find out that you had decided to proceed with another estate agent instead, especially as we had not had a prior discussion indicating that you were considering leaving us. We had been under the impression that you would potentially return to market with us once the renovations were complete. As outlined in our terms and conditions, we do apply a withdrawal fee in these cases, as we had dedicated considerable time, resources, and effort to managing the sale of your property. We understand that situations can change, but we always aim to act in the best interest of our clients, and we were prepared to continue supporting you through the process, whether or not the property was to be renovated. We fully understand how frustrating this situation has been, and we truly regret that the experience didn’t meet your expectations. We take all feedback seriously and are committed to learning from it to improve our processes. We will be reviewing our communication procedures internally to ensure we provide better and more consistent service in the future. If you would like to discuss this further or if there is anything else we can do to address your concerns, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We truly value your business and hope we might have the opportunity to work with you again in the future.
