Hi there,
These guys also approached me today looking for 8 properties between £120K and £250K with no onward chain. I recognised the name of the chap and MO from a company called Capital properties that approached me and made two offers on properties in 2009. The address given then was
Capital Properties
Dept 434,
2 Kingswood Road
Manchester
M45 0BJ
The address has changed slightly now but not much and it's definately the same chap. If you do a search for this original company and / or the address you will find a lot of information regarding them. I did this and saw through them before anyone lost any money in my cases.
It is a scam - they will let you issue paperwork and then ask your vendors for a valuation fee (used to be about £352) - buried in the paperwork somewhwere will be a clause about not proceeding if they can't find a buyer which of course they can't.
I challanged them before it went far last year and warned my vendors off the deal. I'd give them a wide birth if I were you.
Hope this helps.0 -

I can't post links as a new user but it you google 'estate agent today national locations' and click the top link there's an article with more info.
Also google 'mirror capital funding' and again click the top link for an article on the mirror.
Maybe an establish forum user could post the links.0 -
If you want houses in Cornwall looking at, I'd do that for some muneh. Just an hourly rate + mileage.
However, I know it wouldn't be round here.... nothing ever is
