I’m writing this from my new home. Which was NOT through Bear.

House buying is stressful, and towards the end of my first attempt as a first time buyer, for a property via Bear, it got more stressful and Bear added to that by trying to pressure me to exchange.
The process was long and drawn out, and I must say not down to Bear, hold ups with my contacts both legal and broker side, and eventually getting to home buyer survey which threw up issues with the house I wanted to buy. More surveys needed and less than forthcoming vendors, I ended up walking away.
It was here though for the last weeks before I walked away it became apparent that the sales progressor at Bear was after commission. I was called almost every single day without fail, even though hold ups now were with vendors, not able to agree on a price reduction. I felt pressured to make a decision and was told on a couple of occasions I had to exchange as soon as possible! Despite the property needing some extensive works and some areas unknown due to vendors not wanting to reveal areas of house to my specialists (!), the young lady at Bear insisted, even in the final hours before I said no and walked away, that I just need to make a decision by the end of the week. It was a Friday at 11am! This was without vendors agreeing to works needed. 
Worth noting, Bear chased me all the time for these decisions without any real sense or acknowledgement on the poor rated survey received and shared with them, that said in black and white work needed. Bear didn’t think it was that ‘bad’ and was ‘it seems good in other areas’ despite being scored 3 across in the most vital areas.
After I decided no, I had a call with the lady at Bear, thought it was ok to tell me I should really be looking for a new builds only, as all houses have ‘bad damp’ in the area and this would happen on other surveys. Which is absolutely not the case!
She also said the price for the house I was considering, was a steal, despite the recommended works needed would have meant I was considering a money pit. 
So, largely disappointed with Bear, pressuring nature and proving the stereotype of some estate agents. And the £250 fee to take off market is unfair.

Just sold our Flat with Bear- amazing experience from the moment I rang to book a Valuation and Frankie gave us so much advice- such a lovely guy, to when Kyle came to value it through to the day of completion. Kyle is a genuine, friendly and helpful guy who works so hard for his business. Sydney, Progress Chaser was wonderful- such an efficient, lovely girl- who was on top of everything for us. 
I’d have no hesitation in recommending Bear to anyone and will do so. We will use Bear in the future when we are looking for a new property or selling. Thank you Team Bear- you’re all amazing! 👍🏼

As buyers we will never deal with Bear Estate Agents again. We were interested in a property and wanted to view it a second time with a view to making an offer, but were consistently fobbed off.   By the time we were able to make contact with Bear about the delay, the house had been sold behind our backs and another offer accepted.  We were very upset and feel that Bear were evasive about the true situation.  How do the vendors know that we would not have made a better offer?   Well they will never know now. Sellers beware!

Would absolutely recommend Bear they were superb throughout a particularly troublesome sale and purchase. Great communication at all times and very professional. All the staff are extremely helpful but special mention to Sydney who worked tirelessly to push things through.

I am starting this review with an enormous THANK YOU to all the guys at Bear Estate Agents, Rob, Charlie, Franky, Sydney who helped myself and my  husband from the start to the compleation of buying our first home.  Guys you have been amazing with your outstanding professionalism, friendly approach, advice, prompt response and patience ( I know I haven't been an easy costumer, calling you almost every day, sorry).  I just cannot thank you enough for helping us and making this process as stress free as possible. Rob, thank you for referring the right broker "Maria" without your referral and help we would have been a total mess. I just cannot recommend you guys enough and I won't stop doing so :) .  Kind Regards, Manjola.
