Hi everyone,
we applied for a property and we did an online viewing with this private agency registered on gov.uk. We did a hard search on them and they seem legit.
The agent profile on OR is been open for 11 years and email and phone number are verified but yet no reviews.
I have been suspicious about it so I am actively trying to spot red flags.
one of them is that whenever we call the official number none of the agents are ever available to pick up but after 5 seconds they send us an email.
second red flag is they have a property advertised on their private website with the same postcode of the one on OR but just some pictures match.
The virtual viewing was fine, it was just as in the adv on OR but I am still very very suspicious.
The company is London Online Estates and the agents are Tammy and Faith.
Does anyone have any advice?
thank you all

Sorry, we can only accept listings from private landlords. Although if you are a company/housing association that owns the properties you are letting, we can help too.”
