Yes, it is true, George Wimpey house sales could be a lot quicker if they sent details to potential customers.
I’ve been trying to get some simple details from George Wimpey since January and it is now 9 March. I’ve sent more than 4 emails as well.
More details on this story will be here soon.
And here, posted on 6 April 2008, is an update. After posting the three paragraphs above, the business development director for George Wimpey emailed me. In fact he emailed within an hour of posting. I guess he uses Google Alerts to monitor internet mentions of his business. He seemed a nice guy and very genuine. It still took another couple of weeks before any details arrived.
It is interesting how a sincere reply/apology does go a long way to recovering a situation.
Anyway, for those that have asked me, I’m not about to buy one of these houses. They look fine but they are not for me. One reason is garden size. But there are other reasons as well.
