Don't! Initially purchased a property through them and I went though 3 "sales negotiators" who were rude and unhelpful saying I was holding up the purchase when they had not sent the freehold information through. They threatened that the seller would pull out. How can you purchase a property without all the legal documents from the seller?!

When I came to sell that property 2 years ago I didn't find them as knowledgeable as others of the market. They undervalued my property by ?40k lower than I sold it for privately 2 weeks later.

To be open and fair KFH also over valued by ?35k!

Highly recommend No Flies who I found on this forum. They are superb and offer a service that is above and beyond. We are about to exchange on our second sale using them and the standards are still as high as ever. You still deal with Brendan and Tony all the way through so there is professional continuity from start to finish. Brilliant.

Thanks for all the replies here and on the one in the other section and also the private messages.

Seems the general advice is to steer well clear so will look elsewhere at some of the suggestions given to me.

@ gog: that is very interesting/disconcerting and certainly rings alarm bells. Thanks for the warning.

    • Another recommendation for Niko who identified a leak in my lavatory and sorted it.  Helpful and good to deal with.
    • The SSRS app (Safer seas and rivers service), is worth downloading. It gives you real time updates on water safety / sewage discharges. It's pretty eye opening / alarming, how regularly areas are not safe, but reassuring when you do get the 'all clear'. 
    • The programme was brilliant and makes me wary now of sea paddling as so many areas affected. My daughter was working at a bank when privatisation of utility companies were floated. Bank advised its staff that only x number of shares could be purchased by individuals as Government rules at that time. She reported that certain people were seeking double and triple shares. Bank told her to ignore the guidelines as those customers had thousands of pounds in the bank. She was so disgusted at the banks attitude she handed in her notice, She decided that the financial world was too corrupt. Two degrees later - she now works in the NHS as an OT in mental health unit. 
    • Out of the corner of my eye I thought I saw a white (?cabbage white?) butterfly. It's awfully early, isn't it?
