John Mason Shippers
We have provisionally booked John Mason for the end of the month but I just wanted to mention something really fabbie about their service!! We may well be the only ones who are stressing about paying for shippers before we get house sale proceeds, but i doubt it!! Fortunately I have managed to borrow required amount from my parents BUT when I mentioned this to John Mason they told me that they are happy to proceed if a letter from solicitor can be provided undertaking to pay their charges out of the house sale proceeds upon completion. 
Maybe other shippers do this but I wasn't aware of it
Anyway, just thought I would mention it if there is anyone else in the same boat (i think there is a joke in there somewhere!! )

i was going to use somebody cheaper mate but after reading some posts on here decided a few hundred quid extra was worth it to avoid all that potential stress!!!!!
we havent exchanged contracts yet however and the buyer's surveyor was here yesterday for 3 and half hours!!!! YIKES!!!
