Report
They did the job of selling the house fine but they kept phoning up and asking the same questions a lot it's like they don't even bother to write things down properly they also took ages to finally sort some things out as well.

Report
We advertised the property with Anderson Banks and were disgusted with the service we received. In summary it includes the following: - For Sale boards not provided when requested. - Property not advertised in window of Estate Agency as previously agreed. - They sent us a very expensive invoice for accompanied viewings despite us confirming in writing that we did not want them to provide accompanied viewings. - They demanded we pay for a Home Report when there was no legal requirement to do so. - They failed to inform us of the interest and inquiries in the property which we believe contributed to it being unsold for a longer period than it needed to be. - We received terrible service/communications and when we complained it took them 78 weeks to respond, despite our chasing.
When they did respond they then took the property off the market and due to our financial loss we had to pursue a claim with the Scottish Legal Complaints Commission. Based on our stressful experience we would never use this company again.
