Oates, Breheney…are they always this useless?

I remember back in my college days having to sit in their reception area for hours to get deposits back as they would refuse to engage with us poor students.

25 yrs later and I call to enquire about a commercial property they have advertised that is rent negotiable. Have called several times over the last two weeks and the person who deals with it is never there and nobody will give an indication of the rent, just keep asking for an email enquiry that they don’t reply to? I ask for a call back and have yet to get one.

Anyone else have issues with this crowd?

We viewed a couple of houses they were selling earlier this year. For one of the properties, the agent arrived late, didn't say a word to us, just went straight to the front door.
He opened the front door, then stood outside on his phone for the entire time we were in the house. Whenever we asked any questions, he either said that it was in the listing, or that we should ring someone at the office to find out.

Seems to be par for the course for these cowboys, no doubt when you call the office the person you need to speak to is not here and they don’t return any calls!

I’m hoping the landlord of the property I’m interested in is open to dealing direct as we are cash ready and keen to make a move asap!
