What can I say but seriously look into the reviews on Bear before you EVEN contemplate using them to buy or sell a property. I stupidly didn’t read the reviews until now and it seems everyone has the same experience. I can review on buying and selling with them and the games they play. Firstly selling, I started with Tony at the Leigh branch. Charm and decided to go for it. Always check the paperwork as what we agreed in person was not the same fee on the paperwork. Read it before you sign. After 2/3 weeks you will be told that you should lower the price as there has not been an interest as they thought there once would be. I’d like to add I put my property up with them when the business was at its highest. I lowered the price as I though they know there stuff. Then something told me this was not right. I got friends to call/email to arrange viewings and these leads were never followed through. No call backs so I questioned it and was told covid and maternity leave left them short staffed. I knew they took the Lion share of the market at that time but poor service and following from there was complaint after complaint. I was looking at purchasing a property with them and basically was told as I am buying and selling though them they hold all the cards and can manipulate this so I can get the house I wanted. Not what anyone who is also selling wants to hear. They even re-listed my property under their other branch so it came up as a new listing. Now buying with the Southend branch, wow I’m not sure where to start. From advising the seller that I’m not interested in them completing the installation of the shower door and splash back in the kitchen they would tell me one thing and the seller another. Luckily we had exchanged numbers and could sort all this out directly. But let’s say that 2 months since completion bear still haven’t contacted me to see if I have the keys to the property. Avoid avoid avoid.
