Alwyn was selling a property for me as part of a divorce settlement. However, you'd never know that I was half owner. He was happier to deal with my ex-husband. I was never invited to attend meetings or walk throughs with the buyer and when I asked why I was told that he 'didn't believe it was warranted because they were discussing machinery.' Discussing machinery? What does that mean, if not a reference to the fact that I am a woman? This is offensive and prejudicial, and totally unacceptable. I was shocked at the level of sexism. Alwyn was angry at me when he was frustrated with my ex-husband's behaviour and had lots to say, but when I asked for this in writing for my solicitor, he refused, so of course I have no record. As a result, I felt I was being treated as someone who just needed basic information because I am a female.
