Fake ads to lure you in
More than half the properties listed on right move and zoopla in the Balham/Tooting Bec area aren't even available and haven't been for weeks. I called and submitted an email enquiry but every single property I asked about had been let, some weeks ago, and a week later (as I'm writing this) they are still listed. Once you've made the enquiry you get dozens of calls and emails every day with properties that are way above your price range or just completely unsuitable. If I were making an informed guess, I'd say the ads remain active to bait people so that they can spam you. It's utterly frustrating, especially given that moving is incredibly stressful. I appreciate that London properties go quickly and they can't always be removed instantly, I have lived there before, but this is just a really appalling way of reeling people in to disappoint and upsell to them. It's not just Jacksons that do this obviously but they were the most prolific when I was searching. To top it off I got a pretty rude phone call after asking to be removed from their database asking if I was still looking. I said no, I had found a place, and he abruptly demanded to know where and with who. It's not your business, and you shouldn't even have my number on file once I've requested it be removed.
