Ryan sold us a property where he knew…

Ryan sold us a property where he knew the other party and didnt inform us. Probably took a fee from them too without informing us. The property had a hole and huge leak in the roof and he told us he checked the entire property and it was a sound investment and only needed a lick of paint and new carpets. When we later found evidence of mould and the leak, he refused to come and meet us at the property to explain what happened. The roofers that we got to do the work told us this hole was visible if whoever checked had opened the attic and was there was years. He concealed the fact that the roof needed work to ensure the "numbers" worked. Extremely disappointed in our experience with Ryan. If you choose to work with him, due your due diligence on the property, ask questions about the sellers, view the property and get a survey done. DO NOT take him at his word. I wouldn't pay him a penny till you get a tenant in because I saw his work ethic or the lack of it, when the problem surfaced.Apart from this we got a valuation which was approx 15% less than what he told us to expect and we spent more than double on the renovations (11k because 24.5k). Rent was 15% less than he said would be standard. Property went untenanted for 6 months because of the damp and leak and he told us that we just had to bring the rent down. So this property was nothing but a loss for us. He charged us a project management fee for the refurb and left a mess in the kitchen and living room that took 6 months to fix.Don't fall for his made up "numbers". If he pressures you to sign his contract while you are doing your due diligence, recognise it for the pressure tactic it is. Only person who made money in our deal was Ryan Eastley.
