They refuse to pay honest subcontractors that do work for them, no issues with the job just refuse to pay

MIS-SOLD, MISLED & £38,369.50 OUT OF POCKET - BUYERS BE AWARE
Aspen Woolf and Priestley Homes mis-sold me an apartment that never existed! I signed for a 45m2 Apartment - but it turned out to be just 39m2.
LEEDS CITY COUNCIL'S planning confirmed that it was only ever meant to be 37.45, very strange, hey?

Yet the FACT of the matter is that Aspen Woolf sold me a 45m2 apartment. That is not just a mistake - I SIGNED A CONTRACT BELIEVING I WAS BUYING A 45m2 APARTMENT. That is BREAKING THE CONTRACT AND BREAKING THE LAW.

Despite the clear mis-selling, Priestley Homes has FRAUDULENTLY kept my deposit. Aspen Woolf admitted they handed my £5000 reservation fee over to Priestley Homes and kept £1000 administration fee, Aspen Woolf offered me £1,000 as a "full and final settlement," a token gesture I refused, because where I am sat they got me into this mess by selling me something that did not exist in the first place, introducing me to fraudulent developers and failing in their duty of care.

I am £38,369.50 out of pocket (including legal costs). I later discovered that Nathan Priestley and his whole family have a colourful criminal history for money laundering, which Aspen Woolf never disclosed.

Many other buyers have had their flats undervalued by £42000-£60000+. This is a pattern, it is NOT just bad luck.

THINK TWICE before dealing with Priestley Homes or Aspen Woolf, CHECK EVERYTHING, get Legal advice (not just the one they recommend), get your own, and PLEASE don't fall into the same trap.

If you are another buyer affected, "search for the Great George Street Buyers group."

WARNING ⚠️ do not invest, this company will steal your money, nothing but crooks, should be locked away, stole my life savings. West Yorkshire trading standards and Police should lock these con men/people away...

Avoid!
That is unless you are happy to hand your money to convicted criminals.
Priestley's reputation is so dire, they are forced to use a marketting company to offload properties at inflated prices, that bear no resemblance to market value.
You will regret having anything to do with this company. With their Sales and Marketing partner Aspen Woolf, this company operate a high pressure sales technique, which is nothing more than a scam, beware!
These sharks will promise you a spectacular business opportunity, which will have been sold to you at an inflated cost, ultimately a purchase of Negative Equity! They will attempt to snare you and lock you into a deal, applying the ususal tactics. Once they have convinced you to commit, made a deposit they will pressure you to deposit more of your money with the threat that your money is lost and forfeited , Leeds Great George Street is a perfect example! These rogue traders held off with valuations, until at the 11th hour a number of independent industry surveys indicated that these property's had been marketed at a vastly inflated price, ie 30%! In there own words 'an exceptional project'! Ultimately i was advised by the very Conveyancing team they appointed not to deal with them, as their behaviour was utterly unprofessional and immoral. This is an outrageous case, which has been repeated at Leeds. The issue is now in the hands of my legal representatives,Needless to say i expect a full refund. Watch Out!
Update Jan'25 - another shocking insult from these cowboys, i'm now dealing with utility bills set up for a property i have no connection with, and sold on by the developer Priestley / Aspen Woolf !
Hang your heads in shame Nathan Priestley, Matthew Riddington.

The Government department made a prohibition order against Nathan Priestley, under section three of the Estate Agents Act 1979.

Priestley was the sole director of Priestley and Co Ltd, based in Southbrook Terrace, Great Horton. He was convicted of conspiracy to conceal and/or convert criminal property.
some background since uncovered on Nathan Priestley, in the public domain, interesting read....
'Following his conviction, the OFT carried out its own investigation under the Estate Agents Act 1979 and determined that Mr Priestley was unfit to carry on estate agency work. Mike Coates, assistant director in the OFT’s goods and consumer group, said: “This was a serious offence and a reminder to all estate agents that by committing acts of fraud or other dishonesty they are likely to face a ban from the profession.”

The actions of Priestley Homes and their marketting partner Aspen Woolf have been reported to the Financial Conduct Authority.

Avoid! Avoid! Avoid! Do not use these for anything. Priestley homes/Priestley Construction/Priestley Construction Holdings Ltd/Priestley Group/Priestley South or whatever other name they want to "pretend" to operate under with the illusion of being good people. Wrong!!! Contractors who pulled out all the stops to help them out and get the marygate apartments/rooms (deuce hotels) over the line in order for them to start making money renting them out etc via booking.com. It really doesn't look good on the company when word gets about it tarnishes your companies (all of them) reputation, appearance and profits! Especially when you consider the stolen materials and time that is still unpaid for. People actually worked hard to provide the service to Priestley, and then you sh*t on them. The sealant company used namely (3 days to complete 26 apartments to an exceptionally high standard with no issues) and yet you have chosen to rip off and not pay them when they provided an exceptional service in such a short space of time to help you lot out and that's not to mention everyone else you have ripped off in the process and then they "liquidate the company" term used loosely of course as I'm sure most are aware this is the scumbag way of doing business. Absolutely disgusting behaviour, shame on you all, horrible spineless human beings.

The building is full of mould from the top down. An inquiry will definitely be made down the line because the poor residents in the future will definitely come down with lung infections. I worked there. Constant flooding because they were too stingy to pay for a temp roof which caused mold to grow EVERYWHERE. They didn't remove the mold, just painted over it.

Make sure you do you due diligence when buying from this company. They are full of surprises if you actually look into who owns this company.

Priestly homes cannot be trusted

When Priestley Homes use spammers and hackers to send unsolicited email en masse to a stolen mail list why would anyone think this was a company I wanted to invest in.

I did not consent, I will never consent and there is no excuse to send unsolicited email. To use such means suggest a lack of ethics,

Maybe priestly construction have the same lack of ethics when it comes to the quality of the materials used.

Maybe Priestly Homes have the same lack of ethics in their contracts, unclear terms, hidden service charges, leaseholder obligations. We have seen it all before from unethical companies.

So when you choose a company that has no consent to send email promoting your company and who employs hacker tactics with dodgy domains that they do not care if reported to Spamhaus, well remember, the content of the message is what you are promoting Priestly Homes, it has the same text as your development at 2 Great George Street, on your own website.

So now when you send legitimate emails to potential clients mentioning 2 Great George Street those messages which may include contractual time critical information will go to the junk folder and quite rightly too because if you use a spammer you are a spammer.

Anybody considering investing in Priestly Homes and Priestly Construction would need to think long and hard before parting with their money.
