Not another new member trying to drag up an old thread about a dodgy company, well maybe legit but they prey on people who need to sell in a hurry.

i suspect you still work for springbok properties.next time you talk to them can you ask them why they have refused free membership to the transparent agents scheme

I would say somebody has been working very hard on their online reputation. One one site there are eight reviews -- six in one month with a few days in between. Some on the same day. Coincidence. no?

why won.t springbok properties accept our free membership of transparent agents do they have things to hide.

There online rep is heavily guarded by the guy that posted earlier defending them.he will have to work hard in the next few months because we are going to expose them

We actually tried to sell our house with these guys, rather than be purchased by them. Their spiel was quite convincing - they tell you that your house is ideal for 'investors' they have on their books and can make significant rental income. For a hefty fee on completion (approx 1.5-2.5k more than the big local EA's), they market your house, but they do it by putting it at a very low "offers in excess of" price on rightmove (in our case, over 20k lower than we'd have accepted).

It didn't work for us. We saw none of the block viewings by BTL investors as promised, just a few regular viewings that went nowhere because people probably felt a bit cheated when they realised we couldn't afford to sell for the absurdly low sticker price.

When we remarketed the house, the first viewer enquired why we had upped the price so much, so there is potential that their strategy may harm future sales.

To play devil's advocate, though, lots of terraced properties around this area go up and sell really quickly by this company, so they know that part of the market, at least.

time is money, so dont expect full market price or anything near it

I think I have my explanation as to what isn't happening for the vendor.
