Marked as a “charming” farm house. Sold as a lie.

โŒ Twice Fallen Through, Zero Transparency

This property has fallen through at least twice, in October 2024 and May 2025, due to serious issues uncovered during the sale process. Despite this, the agent Aitchisons re-listed the property without updating the listing or disclosing key defects revealed in surveys, including structural faults and the unknown listed status.

There is documented evidence that legal documents were signed containing false information. When questioned, staff became evasive and Andrew Aitchison provided misleading and unqualified responses to serious buyer concerns.

Buyers were not informed about major issues such as damaged windows, unclear septic tank compliance, and lack of listed building consent. These omissions and outright lies breach the duty of care owed by estate agents and risk causing substantial financial harm.

Buyers beware: Misrepresentation and lack of transparency from Aitchisons could cost you dearly. Always do your due diligence. Rightmove may show the property, but it will not protect you from negligent agents.
