Thank you very much Ella Seki

Overall as a buyer we had a good experience with sold especially with Ella Seki however in the beginning we definitely felt sold wasn't being professional, even When visiting the property no one from sold as an agent came to show us the property, you don't get that highstreet agent experience with them as they are completely online based.
We were very doubtful at first because the person who was dealing with us from sales team was never available on the phone or emails. We weren't even sure if our offer was accepted or not, We had to really chase them to get in touch and it was very frustrating experience at first but eventually it got a lot better once Ella Seki took over. She always kept us updated, She was very helpful giving us good advice and even helped us to really push our own solicitor for speedy procedure. Due to Ella we at the end had a successful ending and Yes, we would highly recommend Ella Seki from sold, She is the best.

Reliable and efficient service

As first time sellers, we chose Sold based on its excellent reviews and weren’t disappointed. Selling a property can be a confusing, lengthy and challenging process but we worked with Ella Seki, who was fantastic in keeping things moving, chasing up and communicating with us, and generally helped to make the whole sale less stressful. Wouldn’t hesitate to use Sold again and thank you Ella for your help!

Purple Bricks or Lego Bricks

Apologies if you reading yet another negative review for 'Purplebricks'. Perhaps better to be called Purplelego as that's the attitude they have in selling your house. Their staff come across as greedy for a quick sale, inconsistent with their valuations with similar properties in the area. They have absolutely no local knowledge of your home, very rigid in decision making and devalue properties for a quick sale. As an example I have a 2 bed with tasteful conversion to 3 bed, Every room in house has 5m long rooms. 40 foot terraced garden on Plumstead Common, a minute from open spaces and parks and woods they want me to go for for £350K. If they were to sell for its realistic price they will make over £60K on top. No high street agent would dream of making that profit on a single sale. If you put my house on at £350K on any other agents site someone would think there is something wrong with it, maybe it is auction sale, or not possible to get mortgage.

Thank you for your feedback, though we're sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction. To clarify, with our Fixed Fee contract, the cost is £1,999, which includes legal fees (minus any disbursements). For a property sold at £330,000, this means you paid less than what many local agents would charge. While we aim to make the process as smooth as possible, we regret that your experience did not meet expectations. We appreciate your comments and will use them to improve our service moving forward. If you'd like to discuss this further, please feel free to reach out.

Dahnish at Sold.co.uk has been fantastic!

I cannot thank Dahnish at SOLD.CO.UK UK enough! From the moment he dealt with the sale of my property he has been extremely professional, upfront and honest. Calling and emailing when he said he would. The best thing is he was able to get a sale agreed for me quickly, which was a huge relief. I would highly recommend Dahnish at Sold!

It was a happy ending in the end Indeed.

Avoid using this company

We put in an offer for a flat being sold by sold.co.uk. The offer was accepted and Sarah James recommended using their solicitors. As their solicitor was double the price quoted elsewhere we said we wouldn't use them. However, Sarah said they would match the quote, so we agreed to use them and paid £120 file opening fee. The solicitor sent through all the information, but the quote hadn't been updated. I email the solicitor for an updated quote and got no reply. I phoned the solicitor and got no reply. 4 weeks later, after a few more emails I got a reply from the solicitor who said that they couldn't match the quote and that he'd told sold.co.uk that two weeks previously. I don't know if Sarah James made a mistake or if it was a plain lie. The property was actually repossessed, the seller clearly needed a quick sale and the hold up with the solicitor prevented that, and was being sold through another company, but sold didn't tell us this. It took weeks to get a refund of the £120 we paid. They phoned several times a day when we first put in the bid, but when I wanted to speak to them I phoned and phoned and sent email and never got a reply. Really poor service.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We're very sorry for the experience you had and for any frustration caused by the delays and miscommunications.

The property was unfortunately repossessed during the sales process, which was beyond our control and only became known to us afterward. Regarding the solicitor’s fee adjustment, we had every intention to honour the price match, but since the sale was no longer proceeding, we processed a refund instead. Unfortunately, the refund took longer than anticipated due to an internal delay, for which we apologise.

We are actively working to improve our processes to avoid similar issues in the future. Thank you for your feedback, and again, we’re sorry for any inconvenience this caused.

Poor Communication

Very poor communication with this organisation and trying to contact them is a long drawn out process. Their marketing strategy appears to be an only drop the price strategy even when I had got 3 different estimates from local estate agents.
Very disappointed with the service and would not recommend them to anyone else.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that our service didn’t meet your expectations and appreciate the chance to clarify.

As agents, our goal is always to provide you with professional advice based on current market conditions to help achieve a successful sale. While we recommended a price adjustment to generate more interest, we respect your decision and understand it can be frustrating when the market doesn’t align with expectations.

We’ll take your comments on board to improve communication going forward. Thank you for your feedback, and we wish you all the best with your sale.

Waste of time

I recently booked an appraisal with Sold.co.uk, but it was quite disappointing. Instead of a video call, they opted for a phone appraisal, which seemed odd since the agent couldn’t see the property. Despite significant modernisations made over the past six years, the agent referenced outdated information and offered a valuation 30% lower than other agents. It was clear they did no research on the area or the property. I won’t be using them again and will advise others to avoid them as well. Total waste of time!

Reply from Sold.co.uk

Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent experience with Sold.co.uk. We genuinely appreciate hearing from our clients, even when their experiences do not meet our usual standards.

I’d like to clarify that our valuation was based on the current market conditions and the specific details of your property. It appears there may have been a misunderstanding regarding the value, as our assessment reflected what the property is worth, rather than what you expected. We always recommend that clients consider local agents for comparative valuations, especially if their expectations differ significantly.

We utilise up-to-date information and conduct thorough research on properties and their surroundings. Our agent did mention the minimal modernisations made over the past six years, which may not have had a substantial impact on the valuation. We understand that you may feel frustrated, but our intention is to provide honest and accurate assessments.

Thank you again for your feedback. We hope you find an appraisal that meets your expectations in the future.

Initially not good, but got a lot better

Initially, very convoluted service, different people within their organisation not talking to each other, leading to double cross of info. However got a lot better towards the end. Ella done her very best to turn it around to a succesful conclusion
My honest opinion, is listen more to your clients and take onboard our concerns as sellers. Other than that, good job

Just sold an apartment with Sold

Just sold an apartment with Sold. They were extremely professional from start to finish, with our initial contact with Chris and then with our sales progressor Ella. In fact, Ella went above and beyond, dealing and chasing up the solicitors on both sides of the sale with instantaneous results and she was the one keeping my stress levels to a minimum! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend or use Sold again, all in all a great company!
