“We should set up a group on Facebook called Victims of...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Tkyeswinniek on 21/03/2024

We should set up a group on Facebook called Victims of Ernest Wilson. I hope we can share our information how to deal with Ernest Wilson. I’ve spoken to the Citizens advice, she suggested us to gather every victims and report to the police. It is because only you and me as an individual, it is hard for them to draw attention to this robber. If you’ve been tricked by Ernest Wilson, you should report to the police and join this group. Let’s stop Ernest Wilson to sham people, thank you.

“Sent time wasters”

★☆☆☆☆

written by McMahanzo1962 on 28/02/2024

This company did no work to sell my business. I wrote all the copy, took all the photographs and only put me on one website. They sent complete time wasters and I suspect they made-up appointments as there were many no shows.

“Advertising on Facebook ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by AdrianRichardson66 on 07/02/2024

Advertising businesses on Facebook where it's free and charging a fortune for the service. Absolutely disgusting.. plus anyone check your data that they hold, they have done an aml test for someone else at my home, potentially risking my house.. and my aml cane back with a deceased date on it. Double check everything with them..

“Shameless”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Wheelsofconfusion on 26/01/2024

After 2 years when my business was dissolved I get this bailiffs notice in my hands to pay an outrageous sum of money and that's after CCJ I had no idea about what fits them very well. First of all they must have known when they evaluated the business in Jan 22 that it was not saleable, they just used the fact that we had no idea how this works and that English was not our first language and then they sent an invoice to unmonitored email in March 23 for 14 months of marketing even though the lease agreement ended in March 22. They did the CCJ behind my back and now sending bailiffs to sniff around my ex's house and harass her and our daughter. The business went down after the pandemic and the life has been a struggle ever since and these people have absolutely no shame to chase people trying to survive in this kind of environment

I have the same situation. I think we need to create a group to help each others and we need to share information to our group and contact with the media to let them know Ernest Wilson is bad. How can we contact with each others?

Written on: 30/12/2023

I am also having trouble with this firm. I wanted to sell my small business as i have been diagnosed with stage 3 metastatic prostate cancer which has now spread to my bones. As a result the business is getting too much for me to cope with and i would have likedcto retire vefore the grim reaper gets the better of me. I approached Ernest Wilson from a google search they told me that offer a no sale no fee and i would only have to pay then once the business has been sold after about a month i received a letter from them stating i had to have a survey done for an EPC which they told me i would have to pay almost £200 for this. i told them i don't have the money at the moment and as i was no made aware of this requirement at the outset i wanted to cancel the sale to which i was told in no uncertain terms that i had a contract with them and have to keep the business on their books for a minimum of 6 months and i would have to pay for the advertising of the business so held out for the 6 months i only had 4 appointments for viewings of which only 2 showed up and they were both time wasters. I never saw any of the advertising thatcthey have supposed to have done. i have since cancelled the sale and followed their instructions to remove the listing from their books they then sent me an invoice for over £1,500 for the advertising and other fees. I have disputed this with them but all i got told was to pay up otherwise we will take you to court. They were instructed by my limited company which is now going through insolvency they have snuck in a personal guarantee inthe small print unfortunately i didn't see this as i normally steer well clear of any business that insists in having a personal guarantee if i am signing any contracts on behalf of any limited company that i am a director of. Today i received a claim pack from the Northampton County Court issued by Ernest Wilson. in which they have added another £200. So i now have a court battle to deal with as well as the cancer. I will be defending the claim as they mis represented their terms on many items. Have any one on here have any experience with this any help would great fully be appreciated.

We have had issues with this company and are currently waiting to go to court, we refused mediation as we believe we are right on many points, as per their own contract.. we are expecting to go soon as we have been given information from the courts..I think ita is right though if we all share information there may be something one of us had not noticed...but how do we go about this.

Hi I am going through the same scandal with them , just received a letter to say they are going to force the sale of my property in court because I refuse to pay £5000 when they never sold my small business after 4 1/2 years they lied and said there will be no fee no sale I’m just going to see what happens. I’ll stand up in court if I have to. They have a top solicitor who takes you to court in the first place and then if you don’t carry on paying their bailiffs and after that threaten you with these letters.

“Buying our business”

★★★★★

written by DawnAl2021 on 12/11/2021

We requested a valuation for our shop to sell. They came out and gave us a valuation. We Decided to put a notice up in the window until we decided what to do. We received an offer but had a little issue with right of way. We contacted Ernest Wilson as they owned the surrounding properties. After a short conversation on the telephone with someone to rectify this issues. He made a suggestion for them to buy it and they offered more than the original interested buyer. Done deal. They were so efficient on their side however we had a problem with our solicitor which delayed things. He directed us to a good solicitor. His team also helped us with the energy performance certificate. They were all there on the end of the phone to help and advice during this process. I cannot fault their customer service. It was a pleasure doing business with them. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

“Terrible Business”

★☆☆☆☆

written by 222Cross on 07/08/2020

Very poor business As a buyer, they are very difficult to deal with, communication is poor and they do nothing to broker a deal, just pass on emails. Very aggressive with their communication and have very little commercial acumen, they clearly do not care about buyer or seller. If I was selling a business, I would not use them. All their review responses to negative feedback are very aggressive. Very disappointing business and a shame really. I would suggest anyone considering selling a business, do it yourself

“Horrible - Stay Away ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Hannahe1945 on 13/07/2020

They had our business up for sale for almost 2 years and failed miserably! We agreed to their recommended price and dropped the price further, but again they couldn't sale. Their service absolutely terrible in particular from there sales Director. They were happy to keep your business up for sale because they were charging monthly for advertisement and obviously their ridiculous fee of 5 % if they actually sale your business. We took their advice and hardly had any viewing, the once that actually turned up were irrelevant. We gave them notice and sold the business our selves within a few months, but the sales director had the audacity to ask for 7.5 % although they did NOTHING!!! They will hide behind the contract.... do not sign their contract! If you give notice they will ask for it to be done by the post, this is just a delaying technique. Check the final bill, they overcharged us. If you re-search them you will see how appalling they are, how many court cases they have had and lost. I hope this helps as I don't want you to feel my pain!!!

“Horrible!!!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by tonyquattro81 on 21/04/2020

DO NOT use this company. One of the directors is a horrible, money grabbing £$%^%. I sold my company with this agency and they rinsed me for every penny. They not only charged me quite alot to sell my very small shop, but the worst thing they did was when a buyer left a £1000 depsoit on a sale, that fell through, they kept the deposit for them selves and I didn't see a penny of it. The director was a complete idiot and simply said, they're keeping it as they've done a lot of work. He was horrible, unprofessional and vicimised us. I can't stress enough, DON'T USE THEM!

“Tell you one thing then hide behind contracts which...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Clayvy81 on 19/03/2019

Tell you one thing then hide behind contracts which are onerous and weighted in their favour to extort money for little or no service Check absolutely everything you are signing up for and make sure any verbal agreements are written down and signed before you commit to anything. Do not use the extortionate newspaper advertising fees for a 5cm square advert buried in the local rag. Its an antiquated way of advertising and will cost you a minimum of £500 for six months useless exposure

“very poor firm”

★☆☆☆☆

written by sensibleguy on 09/12/2018

My father once bought a business of Ernest Wilson back in the day and had a bad experience of purchasing with his life savings. Bad. Anyhow, he wanted to sell the business through EW, they said they would sell for a good price. Later they asked for the work done to sell, which they had not and had not even put ads in the papers, which they invoiced the costs. Don't buy or sell the firm for anything. Avoid like the plague.

“Excellent - sold in 2 days!”

written by Madilynnr1966 on 02/11/2018

My Husband and I have been in business for many years and over that time have sold four separate businesses with Ernest Wilson. Every time we use them, they prove to be a fantastic and very professional company to deal with. Without fail they always find us buyers in the quickest manner, each sale have been very smooth and they never fail to get us what we want as sellers. We sold our latest business last month (they found us a buyer in 2 days of selling with them) and took 2 months to complete. The person I dealt with has been fantastic and because of her we are both very happy with them as a company. Well done to her. Thank you for everything

“The person I dealt with make more money by taking...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by JanessaPhillips362 on 10/03/2018

The person I dealt with make more money by taking people to court than actually selling businesses, they run a very underhand operation,using high pressure sales tactics, then locking people into very costly contracts, with no intention of selling your business. Don't sign anything until a solicitor has looked at the contract. They make false online customer reviews, if they were as good as what their false reviews claim they are, they wouldn't have removed their review page off their Facebook page. You have been warned.
