McHugh has no integrity as an agent
McHugh has no integrity - Exceptionally misleading listing for a garden in enfield - no mention of the multiple planning turn downs or the private water main and sewage with the delightful mockup of 3 houses - latest planning turn down was just less than a month before listing the garden at an astonishing price - sadly the rose-tinted listing has resulted in many strange people visiting a private road and breaking into the gardens - no integrity at all and very misleading

The worst experience the worst
The worst experience the worst nightmare anyone could experience I went online looking for a garage in East London and came across Mchugh Auctions Stupidly I decided not to ask friends or family for their advice and went online registered and paid the 5k deposit to make bids Saw 2 flats and decided to bid for them I realised on the day something wasn t right as the prices went really high felt it was like it was being done internally but still decided to go ahead Both flats went for 30k each On their portal it says solicitor fees would be either 2 5 or SEVEN AND HALF THOUSAND POUNDS Stupidly the 7 5k are not written numerically so it can be missed for me it was the case When you call up and speak to someone in their office and ask what are the fees their tone will change and they will say they are not sure and one must check on the lot After the purchasing the flats I also realised that certain documents were not present and there was a daily charge on the property of 10 which is totally fuckery I called up Mchugh Auctions to have the flats relisted on their site and was told quite bluntly no When I insisted why I couldn t I was put on hold and told again there wasn t enough time to have them advertised on the catalogue A blunt response they had enough time to list as they had all the details of the flat and the legal documents I have wasted 90k on 2 flats which are worthless When you make a bid you are not bidding against a person who has the same desire to buy like you to buy but bidding against a Mchugh employee who are increasing the price When Mchugh Auctions realise the mark isn t going to bid no more and it s going to be won by themselves the property is then thrown back in auction for their next auction date If you look at their auction winning history you will find many investments appearing again and again I made many mistakes all the negative comments I have seen online have happened to me I made so many errors but please don t make the same mistakes as me I also saw another investment which was a walkway ownership in Tower Hamlets guide price of 1k I feel so happy I didn t get it or bid It would have cost me 7 5k in solicitor fees 1k fees to Mchugh which is their front Probably another 3k fees to get the legal documents By the time I would have got the land it would be another fuckey of daily charges A truly dishonest company do not put your trust in this company to buy or sell your property I wish I could go back and think it all through

AVOID
AVOID They are a con They don t tell you about hidden fees which is there but cleverly disguised with words rather than digits Once you pay there 1k they brush you off I ended up paying 6k extra to the seller which wasn t mentioned at the time of buying also have to pay the sellers solicitors fee The house we Bidded on and won had subsidence and the legalPack said solid foundations no problems Unfortunately You will not get a mortgage and then after the problem is fixed you won t get a mortgage for another 6years The House was valued at zero None of this was mentioned Plus the seller brought this property 3 months ago which was not mention as mortgage company s won t lend This has caused us so much stress This was our first and unfortunately will be our last auction AVOID auction properties not worth the stress AVOID Mchughs because after the sale they won t help We lost 10 and more on searches and fees This 10 needs to be more regulated Lots of buyers have lost out Please read reviews

Buyer really beware
Buyer really beware Absolutely read ALL of the small print and make sure to get a structural survey carried out on a property before committing to buy I was the winning bidder on a house that was advertised with a completion timescale of 6 weeks or earlier to be able to arrange a mortgage It wasn t until I applied for a mortgage that I found out that the house was of a non standard construction and to be able to get a mortgage it needed a PRC certificate and to obtain said certificate the house requires around 40-50k of renovation work carried out on it If I were to go ahead and spend this money it would take a lot longer than 6 weeks to do it with no guarantee I d get a mortgage Absolutely criminal yet the estate agents don t care and will totally deny all wrong doing as they are not legally obliged to mention the non standard construction unless specifically asked I have lost ALOT of money and a house that I loved

Why does McHugh move the end auction
Why does McHugh move the end auction times Never had this before and sense underhand activities Using preceding lots overrunning as an excuse when everything is electronic is very suspicious Not trustworthy The reply below regards T C s is not a reflection of what happens No bids was placed like in the T C s and yet the clock keeps moving further away Only if a bid happens to stop snipping unlike eBay it states with the process be moved by just over a min Nobody bid and yet the clock gets moved all the time No other property auction does this Sorry the T C s are very misleading Please do not take my review offline McHugh called me to advise why they do it because apparently there own system cannot cope with so many properties all ending at the same time So like I said why put so many with the same start time We know why they really do it - so if no bids and another bidders misses out on another property they then move onto another property to bid as the clock keeps pushing away They also advised eBay does the same - but they do NOT do the same I will say it again to refresh this post in case Mchugh want it removing BE VERY CAREFUL using this auction company as the goal posts WILL move

Be very aware of Witten clause in the
Be very aware of Witten clause in the special conditions that agree the buyer to Pay either 2 75 of the sheller legal fees or 4750 00 of which they don t have to show any evidence They will always go with the higher of the two sums It is very miss leading that in classes 8 and 9 these are outlines as far lesser costs only to be superseded later I would say this is Almost criminal They could 100 make this clearer and be more upfront that these fee s would be paid to the Seller on completion You can t help but feel that these are hidden costs

Highly misleading auction guide prices
Their auction guide prices are dramatically undervalued - every lot in today s auction has attracted considerably higher results than the guide price The guide price for the one I was interested in was increased by the auctioneers less than 24 hours before the auction began Thankfully I hadn t invested any money in solicitors etc Such practices makes me think they re undervaluing their guide prices just to get people s attention Wish I d read the negative reviews on here before registering as this is not an isolated incident Don t waste your time unless you re willing to spend considerably more than the guide price Buyer Beware
