Emsleys -disappointing.. wasted money and energies

Emsleys were 'suggested' to me by housing state sellers and I ended up using them.. now I have certain objections on the purchase of the house which I would like these to speak up to the seller and requested emsleys to assist me, but instead speaking and trying to resolve the dispute on my behalf, emsleys are treating my as outside party and arguing with me to come to terms with housing state and compromise..

-> After having complained to them several times, they won't reply to my emails anymore, whenever I have called they have deterred my from speaking to relevant person, every time I have rung, some other person picks up and denies receiving any emails from me on behalf of relevant person.

-> emsleys are asking me to following their internal complaint procedure, which to me has no value because the people I have concerns about will be the ones 'dealing' with the complaint.

the behviour appears to be fraudster and bullying some.. hurts more when you have fully paid up for someone's services..

I am frustrated as they do not maintain any dignity in the work they do..

I feel hopeless.. are there seems to be no system apart from ending up shouting loud of social media platforms..

*** the letter you have mentioned below relates to faulty workmanship by house builder, but I never asked you for this issue (I would have only mentioned it) but I have been repeatedly asking you to get me a missing item for which I paid as part of the contract completed by yourselves. I have repeatedly written you over this and again its being bypassed. Please reply duly to my correspondence trying to address my concern which if had not been genuine I would not have pursued it.

#UPDATE 03/05/2023
I have started copying you in direct corresponding with Avant. Now the front door issue and rear garden wall post heath/ security/ safety risks with kids specially, and I would like you to things seriously please

#UPDATE
I am still expecting a resolution please. you have given me a detailed letter but that does not help. I spoke to Avant and they suggested you have not had any correspondence with them? On the contrary you suggest to me that you have written to them!!

We are sorry you are experiencing issues with your new home. We believe you are in dialogue with your builder to get these issues resolved. In relation to our professional services, we have sent you our internal complaints procedure and invited you to clarify your complaints about our service to you. We have not heard further from you.

UPDATE: Please be assured, we have passed your message to our Conveyancing Team and understand they are continuing to liaise with you in connection with this matter.

Will Armstrong dealt with my Notary very quickly and professionaly.
He was able to complete most of the task over email which helps a lot when you have a busy schedule.
Once the paperwork was signed it wasn't long before Will notified me that the case was now closed and the documents were all on their way to Portugal for my wedding.

Amazing service and I would highly recommend to anyone.

Very good notary public

Will Armstrong (notary public) straight-to-the-point and no nonsense, saw us at very short notice and helped us out a lot with document certification to be sent overseas. Definitely plan to use again, thanks Will
