Be very very careful

I wish I could rate them zero but unfortunately I cant. They market a good property for less. In the right move advert they did not mention remaining lease year. Before even viewing we query over the phone and someone responded "Lease 900+ years" left. We made an offer and our offer got accepted with a suspicious condition of paying 5k upfront. State agent charge seller 1k. It is not fair to charge buyer 5k upfront. In fact that 5k must be paid before solicitor process begins. We agreed to pay 2.5k upfront and started querying more about the property. Once we wanted to know about remaining lease year, The guy Adam stop responding. We called and he was very rude to us. End of the day he responded we don't know remaining lease year. Seller does not even know. Is this believable? No simply not. Their target was taking money from us and start solicitor process. If we pull out after knowing remaining lease year, we already lose 2.5K. It is legal requirement for estate agent to provide full lease information. Property with shorter lease get devalued quickly. This process is simply not acceptable. Be aware of them.
