Lesley and Musrat worked hard to provide a smooth, professional approach throughout. There were a few complications due to another member of the chain but communication was good during each step of the process. It was definitely the best choice to have a local office where face to face meetings were possible. Lesley was also available for telephone conversations which were very helpful. Can definitely recommend GloverPriest and thankyou to everyone involved.

A long process

3

Unfortunately we didn’t have the best experience selling our property and buying a new property.
We were sent many forms to complete, that weren’t even needed for the sale of our property, which made everything super stressful.
The buyer of our property hadn’t even started the searches for our properly, despite 6 weeks passing! We were both using the same solicitors, Gloverpriest and Gloverpriest didn’t even notify us that this issue was happening. You can imagine the disappointment from the people we were buying off when this all came to light.
Once our buyer instructed the solicitor, we had to support him the whole way, as he was unsure of the process! We notified Gloverpriest of this issue and they advised that he did understand.. and that they do not call people, but instead contact via email. It was all very old school, and actually more needs to be done to ensure that people feel supported and reassured about the process, especially if you are a first time buyer and unsure how the process works. Despite this, Musrat was approachable.

I recently sold my house and purchased a bungalow using Glover Priest. Special thanks to Musrat, who kept me informed and answered my many questions during the process

Poor communication from start to finish

What should have been a straightforward sale dragged on and on. Very frustrating at the lack of communication throughout

This process went through well although there were times when I think communication could have been improved and things chased a bit more swiftly.

I have used both Lesley and Tracy on various occasions, when I purchased and sold my property portfolio & everything I received was first class service and speedy replies. I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for speed and customer service to use either Lesley or Tracy at the Quinton branch of Glover Priest.
