Choices Investments & Aquisitions

Is there anyone out there who has used this company to buy property? They have contacted me about purchasing some off-plan investment apartments abroad,& the information provided does seem very promising-they charge a commission of 2.5%. I would like to know if anyone has had experience,or inside knowledge of this company.
many thanks mt

Sorry, I have no knowledge of this company.

But experience tells me that, more likely than not, they will be a bunch of lying thieves and are probably best avoided.

They're the people that sell you auction details that are available for free elsewhere.

Money for old rope. I'd avoid companies like this altogether. If you aren't savvy enough to sniff out your own bargains, you shouldn't be paying or trusting people to do it for you, to be honest.

they have a very very poor "reputation". If you visit singingpig.co.uk and do a search you will see countless people fed up with their broken promises. I have never come across someone that has successfully used these people.

if you have speak now or forever hold your peace.

Thanks for replies.Its that i was rather put on the spot,& asked to make a definite reservation on an off-plan apartment in Budapest,saying that if i didn't make a quick reservation,then it would be snapped up by someone else.On the surface the bloke seemed very professional on the phone,& the email with attachment seemed promising,& i could understand the need for haste,however i felt /feel uneasy about having to make a decision in haste,maybe i am wrong,perhaps i have lost out on a good opportunity.But its interesting to know they have a dodgy reputation.

I doubt if you have missed out. These people thrive on the two motivations of buying: greed and fear of loss.

I found a house for sale by auction on the 'Zoopla! website.

I rang the number given for auctioneer details & they answered 'Choices'. I was then told that the auction house for this property was 'Thames Valley' & was given a phone number for them. I looked up Thames Valley on the internet & found the house details & location & date of the auction.

I plan to go & see the house on it's open day (hour) next week.

I then had a phone call from someone at Choices asking if I was interested & did I need anything. I said I would be going to have a look.

I was wondering what Choices' part was in all of this. I assumed perhaps they get a small introduction fee from the auction house itself?

I'm glad I came here to check as I will be horrified if I get a bill for 2.5% from them if I succesfully bid on this house! That would be about £6,000 for nothing. Choices haven't mentioned anything to me and have played no part (other than as above). I don't want them, don't need them, and wish they would go away!

I am reluctant to phone them to ask what the deal is & what it's got to do with them as I don't want any further involvement.

It's actually put me off bidding on this property.

Does anyone know the score?
