Just a quick note to thank Jason Baggott for looking after our client and providing more clarity and info for her than anyone she has spoken to prior regarding her complex requirements. She was really impressed. She is now looking to make an offer on a property

Report
Filthy company and experience! Straight to the deputy CEO! They involved themselves in a matter due to not knowing what their jobs actually are, deliberately made a false insurance claim against me, lied about it, and upon trying to resolve the matter, they breached my data rights and withheld statutory information from me under a subject access request. Never use. The ethics of this firm do not exist
