Premium Review Happy at the Halifax (187 words)

Rating:

I have used Halifax to sell a house but not to buy - although i have viewed a number of houses with them. I like the fact that all houses are advertised on Rightmove - a national advertising website. They also do a large double page spread in our local paper. Halifax offices are quite nice and inviting. All the staff ive ever dealt with ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Buy A Mortgage - Or Else! (229 words)

Rating:

I bought my first property last year through Halifax. What a horrible experience! Not wanting to get in over my head, before even LOOKING at properties I had spoken to an independent financial advisor and arranged a mortgage at a rate I was happy with. I figured that this way, as soon as I found a house I liked I would be good to ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Halifax: Undervalued my property! (managed to sell for more!) (102 words)

Halifax (Catford branch) - this relates to 2004/5 I don't like it when agents overvalue property (just to get you to sign up to them and then they ask you to reduce the price to generate interest) or to under value your property (just to get a quick sale on your property). Well Halifax (Catford), undervalued my property. I ...  Read the complete review

I am currently trying to sell my house. Halifax came and gave me a high valuation, I was really pleased and placed the sale sole agency with them. However, they wouldnt negiate the fees or 12 week minimum period saying this was the best deal including all discounts. They said they would definitely sell the house at the price, so I thought I would ...  Read the complete review

I have only been on the market a few weeks with Halifax but warning signs are already starting to show. Only three viewings and only one of them was a genuine buyer. No feedback from Halifax about what they afre doing other than ' We are working hard to sell your property'. They don't really seem to chase up interest with ...  Read the complete review

Oh my god.... I have just got off the phone with Halifax Estate Agent in Barnehurst, Kent. I am so annoyed and fuming I felt I had to write it down. For my sins I signed with them 5 weeks ago to sell my three bedroom end-of-terrace house. Just to give you some background information, it has a 24 ft lounge, newly fitted kitchen, family ...  Read the complete review

Rating:

The Halifax have recently spent vasts amounts of money on there new advertising campaign. This is where my opinions on the bank start. In 1990, my wife and i took out a mortgage with the Halifax for £30k. It bought us a nice 2 bedroom terraced house which was ideal for a first time buyer. The area was, at the time, very respectible. ...  Read the complete review

Rating:

This was the very first time I entered the nightmare of buying & selling. Having identified my future house (against all "knowledgeable advice"), I then decided to put my flat on the market. It seemed an easy choice really, we were buying through them so I thought they would rub their hands together with glee at the thought of ...  Read the complete review

Rating:

I feel in a good position to write about Halifax Property Services. They are basically a front and don't give a toss about how many houses they sell or the service. The reason Halifax bought into Estate Agency was Mortgages and that is all they want to sell you. As a member of staff it is drummed into you to sell mortgages they don't care ...  Read the complete review

Rating:

“We like to be as honest and open as possible with our customers” Those were the closing words of the Halifax representative as we finished looking round the house – they made us feel rather good, especially as the whole process is rather daunting for us first time buyers. But let me start at the beginning. ...  Read the complete review

I am in the process of buying a house through the Halifax and I have to say that I am not impressed at all! We looked around at several house before and so are fairly familar with how estate agents work. The best one that I have come across so far is Darlows. They are quite pushy but I found them very efficient. The same cannot be said ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Halifax - OK for first timers.... (281 words)
by - written on 18/08/00 (Very useful, 80 readings)
Rating:

We bought for the first time last year and the house we purchased was advertised in our local branch of Halifax. My previous dealings with estate agents have only been in context of rented properties so I do not have any other estate agency experience to compare this against. I think that because we did not have a home to sell then our experience ...  Read the complete review

Glad to see that we are not the only ones to have a bad experience with the Hallifax. We appointed them to sell (ha!) our house earlier on this year and all seemed to be well until the leaflets came out. We thought (as our property was VERY reasonably priced - UNDER priced we thought)that the viewers would come rolling in. WRONG! After 5 ...  Read the complete review

Please,please,please do not use the Halifax to sell your home. The only way i can describe our selling expereience with them is an absolute nightmare. We enlisted the Halifax to sell our house because we had our mortgage with them and so qualified for a discount-A very good marketing ploy on their part. We signed on the dotted ...  Read the complete review

Last year I found myself a new job that required relocation to a new area of the country that was about 60 miles from where I was already living. Obviously my house needed to be sold so I enlisted the services of the Halifax to help me out. They appeared to be quite helpful at first, and I duly signed up with the ...  Read the complete review
