Agreed!

Sounds like fibbing to me - i have to say that our first EA (complete waste of space that he was/is) said something very similar. Can you change EAs? If they are going to lie to you how are you ever going to know if they are telling the truth. We are having this very same problem - dont believe anything the bloke says anymore so it is just impossible to work with him.

Hi Adele
Are you able to change your EA? I have just phoned the EA and given them the required 2 weeks notice, they said I need to send a letter in as well. I have now got a new EA coming next week to give a valuation hopefully they will be better. The woman at the new EA said they have been quite busy at the beginning of September but that this week was slower but steady. Sounds a lot different to my original EA's its quiet all over doesn't it!

He resorted to his usual 'i wov you mammy' trick and then scarperd fast!

I have rung EA and asked her to,
a) ring lady who made the offer and ask for another £5k
b) to ring guy from last night and ask if he is interested in puttin in an offer cos i am considering one. (figured if he is remotely interested he will, if he doesnt then he wasnt that bothered about buying it in the first place)

.........wish me luck

They wanted two weeks notice of termination of contract - but agreed to let us go multi-agency immediately if we stayed on their books - so it was worth staying working on the theory that they were so rubbish at their job that they wouldnt get anyone else through the door anyway - and we were right

Our 'new' EA has been really good - just wish we had gone with them in the first place

Tiggs+Graz

sounds like an excellent plan to me. You might as well give them a bit of a push - if they dont go for it then they werent interested in the first place.

[QUOTE=somme;5360489]I had the agent round doing the floor plan, picked wrong agent to sell my house still we have the next 6 weeks

Hi Somme, How did the agent mess up the floor plan???

You're probably right, they want a bargain. What they don't know is we have another couple interested and I hope to play the one off against the other.

Hi Issie, Thanks for the welcome!

I was very tempted to tell them to get lost, but as I said, we have another couple interested, so hopefully a bit of healthy competition will work wonders!

Thanks Bushy, I am doing the viewing myself, so I will get all the info I can! I reckon they found another house and it just fell through. Either that, or they think we are in a weak position. I will just keep repeating that we will rent it out if it doesn't sell and then put it back on the market when the market improves.

We have already reduced our house by 3% which is the percentage the market has fallen around here. We will reduce it more if we get more desperate to sell - but don't tell anyone!

COOOOEEEEEEEE!! Tis only me
Just a quickie - are there many of you who have or are going to sell before you have your visas??
All of sudden tonight it dawned on me that i could sell house and all the contents move into my friends for what i thought would be final months and then all of a sudden find i dont get teh visa Am i having a wibbly wobbly moment or is it something which needs more consideration. I have a CO, police checks done and meds signed for 2 sept but apart from that all is sssshhhhhhhh oh so quiet!
