Sell simple are Very unprofessional, rude and participate and encourage gazumping. I was told to put my best and final offer forward, so was the other people who were bidding on this property. This was after starting my bids early, when I was told by Anne Lecomber from sell simple that there is a lot of interest for this property and that she is asking for everyone best and final offer. We of course we all did and a day or two later I was accepted. I had Spent a hell of a lot on survey and solicitors fees and the rest. To 2 weeks later I have a phone call to say there has been another offer accepted. This sent me fuming so I went mad and 10 mins later she called up again and said not to worry the vendor is choosing you still. Then 4-5 days after this yet again my phone rings again from sell simple, an offer has been accepted and its considerably higher that yours... leaving me stunned and GAZUMPED. This just sums up how un-professional sell simple are and like to play dirty. It seems like there out for them self's and there commission. After a few days of noticing what happened and counting up how much I had lost out on. I had raised my own bid which was not accepted then i raised it again, which then Anne Lecomber who knew already I had everything in place is questioning if I have a mortgage or the money in place for this amount. (I wouldn't bid other-wise?). I understand a vendor wants as much as they can get for there home, but the estate agents should forward bids on or associate them self's with gazumping at all!!!!!! I no the agent cannot disclose the other persons bid at all, however through the whole process of bidding on this house and getting accepted and then getting gazumped. Anne Lecomber 1 minute What happened to the good old days, when a deal is done, a deal is done!!!
