If something looks too good to be true it probably is. To fulfil my life long ambition to retire to Dartmouth, ten days ago I located a three bedroom flat in the town centre advertised by Freeborns for £700 per month. Yes in the centre of Dartmouth, wow!. A selection of interior photographs on the site clearly indicated that the property had been modernised, new fitted kitchen, new shower room, new carpets, recently re plastered and decorated throughout all for £700 pcm !!! I contacted Freeborns and requested a viewing. Although their office is a little over 200 metres from the property, after some negotiation I managed to arrange a viewing for the 26th February, 10 days after my first enquiry. They were very unhelpful and I could not understand why I couldn't view earlier, their first offer to view was early March. I live in the High Peak Derbyshire and necessitated a 4:30am start to enable the 530 mile round trip. On my arrival at the property I noted that it was not painted deep blue as per the Web picture but all white. The condition of the paintwork obviously many years old, tired and distressed and ready for another coat. On arrival of Ben, from Freeborns, I was ushered into the hallway that served the three flats in the building. He found it difficult to gain access due to the front door which had seen better days. On entering the flat I had travelled to view I was met with the immediate odour of damp. Immediately it was clear that this flat in its present condition was not that of the one advertised. Yes it was the property, but the interior was extremely tired, the walls were scuffed and screws protruding from most surfaces. In some of the rooms there was plaster missing a clearly caused by damp. The kitchen was such that I certainly would not wish to prepare food there, the bathroom appeared as if someone had just climbed out of the shower. The white sealant was of an orangey brown and was disgusting. I spent less than 3 minutes inside before I turned to Ben and informed him that I had travelled over 500 miles round trip to view a property that I would not keep my fishing tackle in. I told him that the photographs totally mis-represented the property, he was indifferent. It was deplorable. From the photographs on the web I was so keen to acquire the flat I was prepared to have placed a deposit without personally viewing the property. I had discussed the condition of the property with Natalie of Freeborns who had confirmed it was as shown on the web. This flat was obviously modernised many years ago and every time it became vacant/available the same photographs are being used. This situation was akin to selling a used motor car and placing a picture of a brand new motor car in the advert. Anyway before any of you end up being gullible as I to travel half the length of the country to view a property advertised by Freeborns, you have been warned.,... Read more
