The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has upheld a complaint about an advertisement for a retirement clearance sale which did not have an end date. The complainant said that the advertisement had appeared for more than a year and the advertiser had continued to buy stock. The advertiser said the retirement process was taking longer because of the economy and he had to re-stock everyday consumables to help clear slow-moving items. Because the sale had continued for longer than 6 to 12 months, and the advertiser had continued to re-stock some items, the ASA ruled that the advertisement breached rules 7.1 (Truthfulness) and 16.8 (Availability of products) of the CAP Code. It is important to note that advertising sales without an end date, or claiming that you are about to cease trading when you are not, is also likely to be an offence under the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008.

I found Amanda very easy to deal with, she kept me in the loop and informed throughout the process, spoke in a language I understood and didn’t overpromise. She’s very professional, happy to answer questions, always courteous and knowledgeable.

Michelle was our conveyancer for our recent house purchase. Her professionalism, thoroughness and quick responses throughout the process made the purchase as easy as possible for us - we are very grateful to her and the rest of the team at Winston Solicitors for their work.

I have now used Winston’s for a number of services and highly rate them all round. My most recent experience was of their conveyancing team who have again been helpful from start to finish with the sale of my previous property and new purchase. The new purchase was not straight forward but Winston’s managed this extremely well with even the estate agent noting how helpful they were. I’m very appreciative to Michelle for her all her help with this
