I had, what should have been, an easy sale and purchase but because of the tight deadline set by my buyer, it turned out to be extremely stressful and more complex than first thought.
My sales progressor, Charlotte, was absolutely brilliant! She was the one who kept me sane and I really felt she was on my side and working with me in chasing all the different elements of the sale. I could always rely on Charlotte to contact me regularly, to keep me up to date, and would always call when she said she would. I can't thank her enough for everything she did to make sure the sale and purchase when through.
Melvyn Danes gave me a great service and a sale/purchase that I don't believe would have gone through if it wasn't for them.

We'd like to take this opportunity to extend our appreciation to you and to your team for providing an exemplary service.
You first visited us at our home in January this year when we decided to put our property, 8 Rodborough Road, B26, on the market. You provided excellent advice and guidance. Having already tried and tested a number of well-known West Midland-based High Street estate agents, who we found frankly patronising and selfish, we asked you to be upfront, honest and realistic with us. You assured us you would and you kept to your promise.
As you know it was an uphill challenge to sell our property, specifically because of its construction, but you and your team explored various options and worked with us to make it happen. It took a while, in fact around 7 months, but we got there in the end. And it simply would not have happened without your outstanding leadership, service and support and that of your team too, specifically Anne-Marie, Jo Green and Paula.
You proved that you put our interests ahead of your own and demonstrated a genuine commitment to the sale of our property. You always gave us your full attention. The several e-mails we exchanged and phone conversations we had, you were professional, impeccably polite, helpful and to the point.
Also, we decided to complete, as you know, on our sale ahead of our purchase, which some may say was an unwise decision. But we did this so that our buyer and her two young daughters could move into our property before the new school term started. This meant we were technically homeless and we went through, we must confess, a testing period. It was not easy, to say the least. You acknowledged our situation, were empathetic and offered to assist. This alone we thought was kind and courteous of you.
Finally, just to re-iterate our sincere thanks and gratitude to you Sam, also to Anne-Marie, Paula and Jo for playing such an integral part in the sale of our property. Our buyer, we understand, has moved in, settling in well and is very happy.
We moved into our new home last week and are settling in, just in case you were wondering.
We wish you and the firm that you represent even greater success and individually, we wish each of you the very best in all that you choose to do in the near and far future and may the Melvyn Danes flag continue to fly even higher wherever you go.

My review and experience is to warn other property developers who are thinking of using Melvyn Danes Estate Agents to sell their properties through them, I am property developer and been in the Business since 2001, I mainly buy properties from auction at least four properties a year, do them up and then sell them through local Estate Agents, I approached Melvyn Danes Estate Agents and signed their contract on 09/08/2017 to sell my property, they valued my property £269,9500 .00, then they reduced to £259,950.00 on 04/09/2017.
They had buyer who made an offer of £241,000.00 on 25/04/2018, I rejected this offer, then increased the offer to £245,000.00 on 26/04/2018, I rejected again, as I rejected these two offers Samantha Livingstone of Melvyn Danes Estate Agents sent me email on 27/04/2018 and she wrote 'I now feel that we have done all we can for you and think it may be best for you to try another estate agent who can maybe give your house another try' I'II give you a week's notice to get someone else on board', I replied on 27/04/2018 and wrote I spoken to Dixon Estate Agents in Acocks Green who are happy to market my property.
As I was about to move to Dixon Estate Agents, I received increased offer of £247,000.00 on 30/04/2018 by Melvyn Danes Estate Agents, I accepted this offer, what I was not made aware by Melvyn Danes Estate Agents was that the buyer was getting Islamic Mortgage from Al Riyada Bank based in Qatar, which Samantha Livingstone - Branch Manager of Melvyn Danes Estate Agents had or has no experience or knowledge about this Bank or Islamic Mortgage.
I reduced the asking price from £259,950.00 to £247,000.00, which I accepted the offer on 30/04/2018, thinking that it will only take few months maximum, it was nearly 4 months later and I am still waiting to complete, on 24/08/2018 I gave deadline for completion to take place by no later than 07/09/2018, I was than informed by Samantha Livingstone that this is not possible, I decided on 30/08/2018 to withdraw my property from Melvyn Danes Estate Agents and contacted Dixon Estate Agents the same day, after a week Dixon Estate Agents had someone who made an offer on 07/09/2018, I accepted the offer, my Solicitor informed me that this sale could take around 6 - 8 weeks to complete.
My Solicitor contacted me around 01/10/2018 and said that if I wanted him to contact the buyer to see how far she got with her Islamic Mortgage who was through Melvyn Danes Estate Agents, I said he can do, he had reply from her that Islamic Mortgage is nearly approved and she sold her property which is going to complete on 31/10/2018, my Solicitor wrote back and said if can she complete on 31/10/2018 with my property on the date, I agreed and completed sale of my property on 31/10/2018.
On 14/11/2018 after the sale of my property completed on 31/10/2018, I received invoice from Melvyn Danes Estate Agents requesting their fee of £2,640.00, even though they withdrew and stopped marketing my on 30/08/2018, in their contract they cover themselves and claimed the fees, just remember that they are Estate Agents and are only interested in their commission and nothing else, if you are thinking of selling your house and want to save on commission, try Purple Brick their commission is fixed at £899.00 including VAT.
Melvyn Danes Estate Agents does not know the process of Islamic Mortgages, as they wasted nearly six months on my property sale, they did not check if the buyer had deposit money ready or if she was selling her house and then purchase my property, all good reputable suppose to check all this beforehand, in mine it was not the case, I do hope that my review can help you in some way.

Comments on Agent Fees
The VAT element wasn’t originally mentioned so the fees were higher than I would have liked. And based on the amount of work I also did, again I would say that the fee was higher than I would have liked.

A great service in relation to getting the property on the market and arranging viewings.
Jo Green was amazing when it came to managing all parties to complete the sale. She chased regular updates and kept me in the loop.
Only criticism would be that it wasn't clear what was communicated to the buyer at the time the offer was accepted. This caused a little confusion during the process.
Other than that, the whole team were great to talk to.
Would recommend and use again.
