Do NOT use Watson Bull And Porter in ryde their , Dishonest, lie don't keep you updated, never return calls, and treat you according to your Status. The Mgr Simon Lee put me under so much pressure i went to Hospital with Chest Pains !! Could have died - Hope you can see this Lee as you are one contemptuous git ( mind you that word might be out of his vocabulary range ). They do not give a Toss - Use them at your peril - If i could have given negative stars i would have done - i explained to Lee that I wanted to downsize to a graden and wanted to get a Dog - Labrador - i got a reply of " There is enough room for a little doggie " like im 5!!. And so didn't listen, clearly - And i've heard through the grapevine called me a ret--d . So DO NOT USE THESE MUPPETS

I have been looking for properties for some time now and cannot understand the tactics used. If you don't take their financial services you will not get a look in. Nothing to see here move on except you won't be moving with this lot. I have been informed this practice is illegal allegedly....I really feel sorry for those expecting their properties to be rented / sold....

Disgusting estate agents, so unprofessional it isn't even funny. Make you stand outside your own property in the freezing rain whilst they take someone in to view, leave the front door open whilst they are in there letting out the heat, don't get back to you with a response, never available to talk, constantly lie. Taking sign down, no point in advertising their name if they don't do anything, oh yes, and couldn't make a viewing appointment as IT WAS RAINING, but ok for me to stand outside in rain.

I was a buyer and the way this Estate Agent has treated me and the way they spoke to me including their advice is appalling. I would not use or even consider using this Estate Agent for selling, buying or anything ever again..

I was told much false information (dates they kept informing me was changing constantly).

My Dad & Uncle were in hospital at the same time and I was next of kin. Despite this, I continued to action any requests from my solicitors and liaised with the Estate Agent. Their response was "I know you have a lot going on, but you are delaying the whole chain and its about to collapse. You just need to exchange now" - To note: at this stage, my solicitor was still waiting for answers from the sellers solicitors and had advised me we weren't legally ready to exchange.

I was being pestered by the Estate Agent constantly with phone calls and emails. Which is very funny, because once I put an offer in at the very beginning, they failed to return my calls or answer my emails.

My mental health deteriorated because of the way they managed my purchase. It was that bad, I got close to pulling out from buying the property.

The Estate Agent also played on the fact I was a first time buyer. They attempted to refer to me to mortgage brokers and solicitors who ripped you off. The solicitor they referred me to, meant I had to liaise with 2 different companies (Country Wise & PCS Legal) and neither spoke with the other. I was told by all 3 companies (Country Wise, PCS LegaI & Watson Bull & Porter) that as a first time buyer I had to ay stamp duty (this is incorrect and was only rectified when I sent them links to the government website showing I didn't have to pay stamp duty). I was also given various different quotes for the invoice, none of which matched and I was asked for my deposit money within the first week of being with them, before they had even requested the searches. I didn't give it to them. Eventually, after a couple of complaints, I switched solicitors with no penalties for myself. After I resolved this issue, the Estate Agent didn't explain the situation to the Seller at all, so I had to drop the seller a quick email and apologised for doing so.

I experienced extremely poor customer service. They are only concerned about meeting their targets. I would never use this Estate Agent Agent and would recommend others to consider using them.

We recently looked at a house for sale with Watson bull and porter that are tied with "i am sold" modern aution.

The offers on the house wasn't enough for the vendor, so It didn't sell to anyone.
Later this year it was put for sale under a normal estate agents sale.
As we looked at the house before when it was with " I am sold" we are now locked out from making an offer as they require 4.2% selling fees extra. This is for 12 months after the property hasn't been sold by "I am sold"
My advice for what it's worth is don't look at a property under aution unless your sure its not over vauled. Or vender will ask for the extra 4.2%.
Seems a bit of a con really.
I am sold didn't sell the property and want 4.2% for not selling it.
Its Bad review from us. Anyone that looked at the property whilst under "I am sold " will make the vendor liable for the 4.2% of the sale price.
Never will I look at a property involved with " I am sold".
Bad move by Watson bull and porter getting involved with these "I am sold" people. And now any potential buyer that looked at property whilst with Watson bull and porter and "i am sold "
Will cost the vendor the 4.2% that will increase property price, and may make it not viable. The house has been for sale for months now.
Still no sale.. bad move by Watson bull and porter..

Date of experience: 09 October 2022

I contacted this agency in Isle Of Wight as I was interested in an apartment they had listed(Eden Lodge, East Hill Rd, Ryde). They took my details and said that they would arrange a viewing for that next Saturday. They would then get back to me and confirm a time.
Two days later I still had not heard from them and so I called again. The first thing I was told is that they did not have my details and so I had clearly had not called them. They then took my details again and this time told me that I needed to either have a mortgage pre-approved or I should talk to there mortgage adviser before I could view the property, suggesting that I might be wasting there time.
She was rude and condescending. The poor people selling through this agency!
