Ernest Wilson Reviews
Ernest Wilson is one of a number of business transfer agents who claim to be experts at selling businesses but often end up taking their customers to court for thousands of pounds in disputed fees for unsold businesses. Their agents routinely give misleading information that a business can be sold quickly, cheaply and easily. The advertising materials they use are cheap (but not for the customer!) and very poor quality.
Ernest Wilson alone makes around 150 court claims a year against its customers.
Other similar companies include Vendor Direct, Advent, Meridian, RTA, Turner Butler, Sovereign and Hilton Smythe.
poor firm Ernest Wilson
My father once bought a business off Ernest Wilson years back. They said it was doing good but lied about how much and he put in his life savings. He wanted to sell a few years later and agreed for them to do so. They had a few people to come and look around the business but no-one wanted. So he cancelled the arrangement and discovered they had not put as many ads in the papers as they said at Ernest Wilson. They are very dishonest and trustworthy firm. Don't buy or sell through them at any time. Avoid like the plague.
My father once bought a business many years ago from ew ernest wilson with his life savings. Bad experience. He tried to sell through them a few years later and they did nothing and lied about the ads they had not made. He later sold to a neighbour for less than he bought from ew. Don't buy/sell from them for anything. Avoid like the plague.
poor firm Ernest Wilson
My father once bought a business from Ernest Wilson EW back in the day. Bad choice as he spent most of his life savings on. Later he wanted to sell and asked the rip off merchants to sell on his behalf. They invoiced him a lot of thousands for the work of selling but did not after a few years. They wanted money for the work but also the ads, which mostly was not advertised in the papers as they said would happen. So he sold to a neighbour who wanted and went through the legal process to pay a less amount for their poor services. So, please anyone don't buy or sell anything off them at any time. Avoid like the plague.

Ernest Wilson won't give up their alleged Commission rights
Ernest Wilson may wish you to settle their invoice, but they will not easily give up their supposed 'rights' to Commission if you do sell your business/property after you have paid them. If you do discuss and/or write to them to agree a settlement figure, that is hopefully lower than the monetary amount that they wish to charge, ensure it is IN FULL AND FINAL SETTLEMENT of their advertising fees. Their 'advertisement' is often just one-inch square, words only, in a free newspaper. It is often alleged that the advertisement, the 'product' of Ernest Wilson's 'service', is 'not fit for purpose' and bears no resemblance to the full-colour sales details that Ernest Wilson may have produced when you 'agreed' to Ernest Wilson's services. So the full-colour sales details are a written Misrepresentation of what is eventually used. Your 'agreement' was via a four-page, extremely small-print document with writing on both sides. The terms were written in 'Estate Agent Language' that you probably did not understand at the time you signed. Their 'sole selling rights' terms do not accord fully with the Estate Agents (Provision of Information) Regulations 1991. If Ernest Wilson take you to court, please find this information useful; ensure you get the 'other' first page of the document they keep, via a Subject Access Request (SAR) made via the Data Protection Act according to the rules of the Information Commissioners Office - you write to Ernest Wilson and ask for everything they have regarding you and your business. If Ernest Wilson's Terms do not state that the document you signed is 'business-to-business' and it names you personally as the contracting party, then there may be scope for you to claim Consumer Rights according to the 2015 Act, especially if you signed at home or at work.
