If they have to tout for business like that, they can't be any good. Avoid.

If you are buying a house or remortgaging, once it comes to instructing the surveying company, please for goodness sake, DO NOT use Colleys Surveyors, as they are poor with their valuations, and are down valuing properties 50%, I have complained to them, however to avail, they just seem to take the money, down value and run, leaving you out of pocket. I have seen them do this in the last 12 months, so use another company! Otherwise you would be just wasting it, I have spoken to many other brokers estate agents etc and they agree and all have comparable evidence to, I just thought Id put it on here, also anyone else know where I can put this warning!!! Thanks.

The irony of the fact that this is the company that made the website I am adding them to isn't lost on me.

If you've used welovelocal, you've used one of their products. Its beyond my own expecations, earning them an impressive five stars.

Keep up the momentum!

The one person infront of me spent 55 minutes applying for a credit card (being slowly talked through each step) only to be turned down and leave the branch.

Quite frankly spending an hour and a half just to make a very simple transaction at 2pm is just utterly stupid.

Get some more staff. Stop spending an hour with complete time wasters.

it should be noted that this is not the standard among barclays branches, which is normally very high from my experience.
