***Buyers beware of this estate agent***
We were in the process of purchasing a property being marketed by Joy Walker Estate Agents. The sale was agreed with the vendor, our solicitors fees and valuation survey were paid for, searches were paid for.
Weeks into the buying process and completely out of the blue, Joy, the owner of this cowboy outfit, rang me and said that another potential buyer had come in and offered 20k more than me and would I like to match it? I explained that I was up to my limit financially and couldn't afford to go any higher and also added that the sale had been agreed, monies paid and the solicitors of both sides had been working on the case for weeks. Joy explained in a very condescending manner that nothing is finalised, or set in concrete with property purchases, until the day that contracts are exchanged.
So there you have it, we lost the property to someone else, weeks into the buying process, because this estate agent continued to market the property behind our backs, weeks after my offer had been accepted. We lost £850 in fees spent, my wife was distraught and spent the weekend in tears and we were left desperately trying to find another house, as the tenancy on our rental property was nearly up..
Unscrupulous! Unprofessional! She doesn't give a damn! All that Mrs Joy Walker cares about, is bringing in the commission. Riding roughshod over people in order to bring the money in, is all that matters to this woman. I mistakenly thought that the Wild West of estate agency and the dodgy practice of gazumping was something we all left behind in the 1980's, but unfortunately, someone forgot to tell Joy; or more likely she just doesn't care?
All you potential buyers out there - Is it really worth the risk of dealing with fleabags like this?

Joy Walker didnt represent us in our sale - but they did represent the vendor above us in the chain. From start to finish JW we're brilliant. They worked so hard to get to completion, it almost felt like they were representing us. They constantly responded, constantly kept us in the loop and went above and beyond to help the whole chain.
Would 100% recommend them.

All the staff were a great help in selling the house on behalf of my mum. Very understanding and knowledgeable. No hard sales tactics or constant phone calls. Let us move along at our own pace.
Great communication through the entire process. I would highly recommend Joy Walker Estate Agents to anyone selling/buying a property.

Thanks ladies at Joy Walkers for helping to sell. They went above and beyond what we would expect from an estate agents, especially Sophie. She chased along the chain, far more than our solicitor did. Thank you ladies x x

From the beginning until this morning in our new home, Joy Walkers has exceeded our expectations. Lisa especially guided us through our buying and selling journey with unwavering support, helping us navigate a not-so-straightforward purchase. Her friendly professionalism and understanding made all the difference. I wholeheartedly recommend Joy Walkers for any sale or purchase.Thank you its been a pleasure.
