    The way they lie and keep lying, and then lie some more. And when you confront them with proof they've been discolouring the truth, they lie some more to try and cover up their previous lies.

    That and the fact that they lie all the time. They couldn't lie straight in a coffin man.

    Guys - don't reply to this thread - if you google the SN it's fairly obvious it's spam/SEO for Rhett Lewis. ("become a property billionaire" lol). Ignore.

    Don't think I'd buy a used 2p coin from this toe-rag, let alone any advice or property...

    Cheers!

    Gets even more interesting....

    According to Companies House, (public information)
    RHETT LEWIS EDUCATIONAL LIMITED
    12 BRIDGFORD ROAD
    WEST BRIDGFORD
    NOTTINGHAM
    NG2 6AB
    Company No. 06583011



    Status: Active - Proposal to Strike off
    Date of Incorporation: 02/05/2008

    Country of Origin: United Kingdom
    Company Type: Private Limited Company
    Nature of Business (SIC(03)):
    8042 - Adult and other education
    Accounting Reference Date: 31/05
    Last Accounts Made Up To: 31/05/2009 (TOTAL EXEMPTION SMALL)
    Next Accounts Due: 28/02/2011
    Last Return Made Up To: 02/05/2009
    Next Return Due: 30/05/2010 OVERDUE

    In my experience Companies with "Proposal to Strike off" and overdue accounts are
    . either run incompetently...
    . or fraudulent/dodgy
    . or the owners/directors have all died suddenly...

    In this case, of course, there could be an entirely other, more straightforward & reasonable explanation: Aye, Right!

    Cheers!

    Why is it important who I am and if I am being paid to write this report. I can assure you that this is not spam or to promote my services. I have been approached with the idea of opening an estate agency in my local area and I thought I would get out on the UK forum's and hear the general public's thoughts/concerns about the industry. Market Research!!!

    Aye, right, of course, all entirely straightforward and above board, no hidden agendas or suspicious motives then: So that's all right then...

    I'm sure all MSE readers will quite understand what is going on here..
