Beware beware beware inconsiderate…

Beware beware beware inconsiderate company. My parents put an offer on a property after it didnt sell via auction, 45k on a retiremeht flat. my dads was feeling unwell at the time and developed a hoarse voice that the gp put down to a virus so they paid the auction fee. Within days his health deterioated further and fearing the worst they had to pull out of the sale within a week or so - so last moments could be spent in the home the had lived in for 25 years. It was then confirmed as a very large mass in his chest, with masses in kidneys, brain and lymphoma. You would think whoobid would refund the auction fee in these circumstances but DOUG at whoobid in bournemouth just ignores us. Heartless!!!! My parents could use that money for a lot of things in this last stages of my dads precious life.

We are very sorry to hear about your father’s illness and we genuinely sympathise with what your family is going through.

However, we feel it is important to clarify the circumstances surrounding this matter. The property was agreed under auction conditions, where all parties are made fully aware that fees are non-refundable should a buyer withdraw.

In this case, the required solicitor details were not provided within the agreed timeframe, and there were attempts to renegotiate the price after the sale had been agreed, which is not permitted under auction terms. We also had a responsibility to the vendor, who was let down as a result of the withdrawal.

When your parents contacted us to withdraw, they acknowledged and understood that they would be forfeiting the auction fee, and we handled that conversation with care and understanding. We are only able to take instruction from them as purchasers.

We appreciate this is an emotional situation, but we must also ensure fairness and consistency in how we apply the terms of sale to all parties involved.

We wish your family all the best during this difficult time.

I’ve used these guys for both buying and selling. The aftercare for post sale was super impressive and very valuable to me. I will continue to use Doug and his team for both buying and selling.

Marriotts & Whoobid make the perfect team

Working in sales and lettings, you get used to the usual grind, slow chains, wobbly buyers, and deals falling over at the eleventh hour. So when we were tasked with selling a client’s portfolio of 40+ properties, we knew it needed more than the “stick it on Rightmove and hope” approach.

Enter Whoobid Auctioneers.

From an agent’s point of view, they were outstanding. Clear strategy from day one, realistic guidance on pricing, and crucially, total transparency with both the client and us. No fluff, no overpromising, just straight-up expertise and a system that actually works.

Managing a portfolio of that size is no small feat. We’re talking multiple lots, varying property types, tenants in situ, the works. The Whoobid team handled it with calm efficiency and serious market knowledge. Communication was proactive and professional throughout.

We look forward to working with you again

Great experience with Whoobid and their team

I had a great experience with Whoobid when purchasing my new home. I hadn’t considered purchasing a property through auction before and was unaware of the process. It was explained very well by the team there on how the auction process is conducted by Whoobid which gave me the confidence to view the property and eventually purchase the property. It was very smooth throughout the whole process and the quick nature of auction completions meant I was able to get the keys to my new home just 2 months after agreeing to purchase it. Everyone I dealt with was a pleasure to speak to and I would highly recommend their platform and team to anyone considering buying or selling a property.
