Worstmove for me .

Worstmove for me .. My listing lasted 30 days which is the minimum, I had one viewing and one other viewing where no one turned up , I was then encouraged to reduce the price by £10k on an already very reasonable selling price , the existing net yield was 8% , so basically it was a waste of time , I am not giving the property away when it successfully rents out , so whilst some people say they have a positive experience mine was not , they claimed they had hundreds of investors lined up , perhaps they do but it seems they must only be interested in dirt cheap giveaways .
Only you can decide how low you want to go ..

STAY CLEAR FROM BETTERMOVE

Absolutely appalling experience with Bettermove from start to finish. We were chain-free, fully ready, and serious buyers, yet the process dragged on for nearly five months due to delays, poor communication, and a complete lack of urgency on the vendor’s side. The property was advertised as freehold, but later turned out to be leasehold, causing further confusion and delay. Throughout, our side, including our solicitor and mortgage adviser, did everything possible to keep things moving while we waited patiently. Despite repeated written assurances from the estate agent that the property was empty, it absolutely was not. On completion day, we arrived to find the house still full of the vendors possessions - furniture, clothes, cutlery, rubbish, personal items - even the loft and shed were packed. We couldn’t move in properly and had to pay ourselves to clear it. The vendors even abandoned their cat. On top of all that two doors was punched and damaged which was not there when we went for the viewing twice.
Afterwards, a friend of the vendors repeatedly turned up around our property without permission, which we reported. Communication from Bettermove has been non-existent since. Enforcement agents later attended our new home regarding significant debts linked to the previous owners. This raises serious questions about due diligence and how this sale was handled. The whole experience has cost us thousands of pounds, months of lost time, huge stress, and even injury while clearing a property that should have been handed over empty. We are now pursuing legal action to recover our losses and seek appropriate compensation. This should not be allowed to happen to anyone else. I would not recommend Bettermove.

UPDATE (Response to Bettermove’s reply):

Your response does not reflect our experience and omits several key facts.

You state the property was simply “freehold.” That is misleading. The property was subject to a covenant/third-party issue that caused months of delays and uncertainty. We only managed to complete after lengthy negotiations and after the vendor eventually agreed to resolve the issue. We have the documentary evidence to support this.

You also state that you acted in good faith regarding vacant possession. Regardless of who made the promise, we collected the keys to a property that was still full of the seller’s belongings. We had to pay for waste removal, spend an entire day clearing the house with family and friends, and during the clearance I suffered a serious hand injury that affected my ability to work. That was our reality.

As for the enforcement agents attending our home because of debts connected to the previous owners, you may say that responsibility lies elsewhere, but from a buyer’s perspective this was part of the overall experience we had after purchasing a property through Bettermove. Instead of receiving meaningful support, we were left to deal with the consequences ourselves.

I also disagree with your statement that you continued to assist us. We repeatedly asked for a goodwill contribution towards the costs we incurred, but nothing was resolved. Rory had an opportunity to settle this matter amicably, but instead our concerns were dismissed, and I found his attitude unprofessional.

We have retained all correspondence, documents, photographs, receipts, and evidence relating to this transaction. As this matter is now being pursued through the appropriate legal channels, I will allow the evidence to speak for itself.

This review is an honest account of our experience, and I stand by every part of it.

Please note readers: majority of the latest reviews are by their own colleagues and their friends and family.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We're genuinely sorry to hear how upsetting your experience has been.

Having reviewed the file in detail, we'd like to clarify a number of important factual points.

Firstly, the property was marketed as **freehold**, and it remains freehold. Your review states that it later transpired to be leasehold, which is factually incorrect.

Secondly, before completion, the sellers, who had already relocated, confirmed to Megan, our Sales Progressor, that "vacant possession would be provided on completion". Acting in good faith, Megan forwarded that confirmation to the sellers' solicitor, who in turn confirmed this to your solicitor through the conveyancing process. We had no reason whatsoever to doubt the accuracy of the sellers' written confirmation and were equally surprised to discover that vacant possession had not been provided as promised.

As the selling agent, we are entitled to rely on the information and declarations provided by our clients. We are not legally responsible for clearing a property prior to completion or independently verifying that a seller's representations are accurate. Where a seller provides false or misleading information, responsibility rests with the seller who made those representations.

The issues you mention regarding the belongings left at the property, the abandoned cat, third parties attending the property, enforcement agents pursuing debts connected to the previous owners, and the condition in which the property was left are understandably frustrating. However, these matters all relate to the actions of the previous owners rather than anything carried out by Bettermove.

We've reviewed the correspondence from Megan and can see that she has continued to offer assistance following completion. We also understand that you intend to pursue the sellers in relation to the losses you've suffered. If you decide to take that course of action, we will happily provide any documentation, correspondence or evidence we hold that may assist you in pursuing your claim. We want to help where we reasonably can.

Whilst we fully appreciate how disappointing this situation has been, we do feel it's important that responsibility is attributed to the correct party. If there's anything further we can do to assist, please don't hesitate to contact us.
