Re: Just about had enough......
Oh my god Sandra i am so so sorry, seems like Mann Countrywide are the same wherever you live, i cannot believe that they have ****ed up not once but more than once! The sooner i get out the better eh?
i suggest that you put your complaint about the carpet, kitchen floor and mess up with the viewings in writing to the Manager and cc it to their Regional Manager, complaints are taking seriously if you put it in writing mate

Had house with one estate agents. they were crap.
After much discussion we went with Mann & Co yesterday, baring in mind they are quite expensive and no matter how much bartering you do they will not drop their fee, as they state their service is worth it.
Okay we sign up.
have 2 viewings on the 1st day. First one a bloke, and they give nothing away.
Second viewing was a couple. the girl was nearly wetting herself with exitement and they nwere both oooing and arring. we are in here thinks me.
In the meantime the dozy estate agent is wearing really high pointed boots. Not only has she ut liitle holes in me kitchen floor she drags her feet when sje walks and has put 3 huge puckers in my carpet!! Mick is livid.
They then tell us we have a 4pm and 4.30pm viewing today.
Next, they just ring me. Can we do 3pm today.
I suggest they push back to 3.30pm, so we have 3 together. they then say they dont know what I am talking about as they have nothing booked in.
I wrote all the times down so i know where I am coming from.
On top of that she then said the `oooher and arrrer` really loved it but needed a 3 bedder.
WHY bring em round. We have 2 bedrooms.
I am so pi**ed off I am gonna kill someone!!

When we sold our last house I have to admitt I hated showing people around cos at the end of the day its still your house .
Best of luck with it all we won't have to go through it for a while yet but dreading it all the same when our time comes to sell.

just wanted to say, I know how you feel.
After acepting an offer 10k under the asking price to a lovely couple who fell in love with the house and were in a really good position (only 2 in chain) we thought it was all sorted.
However, estate agent rings & says is it okay if buyers come round with parents, this was no problem. They both had big smiles and even bigger smiles when i offered to leave fridge, dishwasher & cooker. said goodbye, then 1 hour later (my kids bedtime!) they were back with his sister wanting her to see it, because they were soooo excited!!!
Next morning, got a phone call from the estate agent to say, Bad news your buyers have changed their minds!!!!!! found a house with a loft conversion and have decided to go for that!!!!!
Its not the agents fault and I appreciate its a big step buying a house, but I wish people would think more carefully about what they want before making an offer!!!!!!
back to keep the house spotless with 2 toddlers!!!

That's awful!!! Talk about being totally led up the garden path!!!! You'd be forgiven for making dolls of these people and sticking enormous pins in 'em......lets face it you could make pretty accurate ones...you've seen enough of 'em!!
Fingers crossed you get another buyer soon!
Are you coming to the meet this afternoon????

It's like i told boomie,
All you need to do is get a friend ( preferably female ) to be sunbathing topless in next doors garden whilst your viewings take place.
Never fails, our " sale of house " took three days.
Went on market wednesday afternoon, saturday dinner got an offer 5k over asking price.

Good idea paul, but the only problem is our neighbour is 76, she maybe past topless sunbathing!!!!
Cheers petra, would have loved to come to the 'meet' but had a bbq to go to, will try to come to the next one, with hubby and
2 sprogs (may consider getting MIL to look after them!!)
Where do you live in portsmouth? I am in cosham/drayton.
Cheers again for your replies

Have low expectations of all viewers and even lower of your estate agent, and then you will be only mildly p@~ssed off - that's my plan to try and maintain a level of sanity
I also had a `oooher and arrrer` (great phrase!) on Monday - said she definitely wanted a second viewing with friends. Since then she won't answer estate agents calls and has disappeared without trace...what's all that about ??
I think some people are just out to waste your time. If I was you I would be deducting the cost of the carpet from their commission of they ever sell your house ! How stupid for an estate agent to wear shoes that can damage flooring
At least its the weekend soon
