Informatie afkomstig van verschillende externe bronnen

Clarkes was formed in 2006 by Paul Clarke, after some years working for a large ‘corporate’ estate agency chain. It was clear to Paul that there was a better way of providing great service to customers, that put the customer first and was truly an estate agent you could recommend to your friends and family. Clarkes offers its clients the very best of both worlds. A locally based company with highly experienced staff plus a state of the art on-line system – My Property File. Providing our clients with total transparency and convenience, 24/7. You don’t have to choose between an old fashioned ‘High Street’ agent and an anonymous ‘On-line agent’ who might promise the earth but won’t deliver it – with Clarkes you get tremendous service, the very best local expertise and 21st century technology.

purchasing a property

Purchase went through well in the end but felt we had to keep chasing to get answers. The start was very good got a viewing within a couple of days. Nice touch though the box with useful items thank you.

Thank you for your comments Angie. Your original hope for the completion date was always somewhat ambitious and I am not surprised you found yourself chasing solicitors.

Extremely helpful

Very helpful regarding options available to us following a long term when the property was rented. The whole process was undertaken faultlessly despite difficult circumstances

My partner and I are first time buyers…

My partner and I are first time buyers and we have dealt with many estate agents during our property hunt who have always shown the upmost respect and courtesy. After all, we’re the customers.

Our first dealing with Clarkes has resulted in absolutely disgraceful customer service, not to mention that we are dealing with a Director of this company who should be showing an example to many employees and customers alike.

The person in question was rude from the start. Extremely pushy, trying to manipulate my partner as if she’s an easy target and ultimately disrespecting us. We are young first time buyers, we’re not experts in the field, we are the ones with your pay check and ultimately, you need us to keep your job (customers).

He sounded desperate and scared, and in such unknown times in which the property market is clearly unstable, I would expect a little more care to be taken with customers, especially first time buyers.

From a Director of a reputable Estate Agents I did not expect such immaturity and arrogance. Plus the audacity to claim that the property market is, and I quote, “exploding”.

We are looking to get in multiple years of debt so that we can land our dream home and start a our lives together and all you are concerned about is a sale.

As I can’t attach photos, here is the transcript of the email:

“[Partners name] this is ok with me, however I now have concerns about both your intentions and if we arrange this, your viewing being cancelled when the property is sold to another party. Is this really what you want to do? ... you want to push it off by somewhere between 2-4 weeks? Right when market activity is exploding?
This seems somewhat at odds with an excited purchaser who wants to buy a property.

Please just level with me [Partners name] …. Do you want to take this further? If so, you need to find a way to be viewing it in the next day or so, placing and offer and getting solicitors working on a purchase early next week. Pushing this off until June is somewhat pointless.



What’s the picture please?

Paul”

Antwoord van Clarkes Estates

I am sorry that you feel the way that you do. I have re-watched the zoom recording of the online viewing that you attended with your partner, re-read my e-mail and disagree with your comments; Strongly, fully and entirely.

As an estate agent I am engaged and paid by the seller who is my client. As a prospective buyer you are not my client and do not pay me a fee. I do have a duty of care towards you and of course, today's buyers are my clients tomorrow. Nevertheless, my obligation is to act in the best interests of the vendor. Whilst we operate under lockdown, I have an extra obligation to establish which viewers are serious buyers and which ones are not.

Accordingly, following the virtual viewing, you have been actively encouraged to physically view the property. You subsequently booked to do so, via email. You then requested to delay that viewing. None of this is unusual.

What is unusual, is that having told me that you are serious buyers, who are ready to go, your dates to rebook the viewing are 3 and 4 weeks away. For the avoidance of any doubt, I have interpreted this as a lack of strong interest in the property. My email to you sought to bring clarity to your intentions.

I have no problem with you not wishing to physically view and/or having concerns about Covid19. However, my job is to find my vendor a buyer and to establish if you have a genuine interest in the property.

When I stated in my email that market activity is 'exploding' since lockdown was partly lifted, that has been my personal experience. It is borne out by these independent reports from the highly respected Knight Frank (https://www.landlordtoday.co.uk/breaking-news/2020/5/knight-frank-sees-online-property-enquiries-hit-12-month-high) and this weeks' industry survey data (https://propertyindustryeye.com/home-mover-demand-explodes-as-lockdown-eases-sentiment-tracker/). The word 'exploding is used by both.

If you wish to view when the time is ready, and the property remains unsold and available, feel free to contact one of my colleagues 4 or 5 days beforehand to re-book.

You have publicly called me out as pushy, manipulative, disrespectful, desperate, scared, and immature. These are mighty strong words, simply because I have asked you for clarity of your intentions. This is just completely inappropriate conduct and I call upon you to withdraw them and delete your 'review'.

Thank you for your kind words David. I know that you have previously had a poor experience in the Agency sector and that all Estate Agents are somewhat on a 'back foot' in your eyes. Regardless, I have found you to be a personable buyer to deal with and I thank you for taking the time to write a positive review.

I was very satisfied with Clarkes friendly and professional approach to selling my house. Plenty of viewings from the start meant that I sold the house very quickly. Thank you.

Sold our bungalow with Clarke's

We put our bungalow on with Clarke's in August to have a first buyer making an offer in October. Which unfortunately fell through .and to our amazement Marcus then sold it for us again 5 days later so the stress was over.
They have given us an amazing service all the way through and i would highly recommend them especially marcus. thank you very much to all the staff at Clarke's .

Great Letting Agents

Clarkes have been my letting agent, coming up to year now and I cannot fault them. They processed papers quickly to get me in my property and once in they have always answered emails fast and got things sorted for me whenever an issue came about.
Fantastic letting agent and would highly recommend!

Thank you so much for your kind words, they are really appreciated.
I will ensure all of my lettings team are aware of your feedback, as I am certain they too will be very pleased.
With all of the legislative changes over the last few years, it is good to see we can still deliver the high levels of service we have always wanted to..
Many Thanks

Highly recommend!

Very professional estate agency, easy to communicate with, always ready to answer questions. Quick in response if there’s any problems and even quicker with a check back if we’re happy. Been with Clarkes 3 years now and couldn’t be happier. Well done!

Easy, relaxed experience.

Very relaxed experience buying with Clarkes. Any question we had was answered quickly and there was never any pressure on any part during the process. We enjoyed viewings at our own pace and in our own time, and the agent was incredibly friendly, easy going and approachable with any questions we had. A great experience buying!
