So peed off - changed agents finally, after telling them in March they had until the end of the month to pull their finger out, hubby relented and said we would give them February too, as it seemed unfair to drop the price then give the house to another agent, we have been on Since October 2007 - not had 1 single viewing, house has been in paper around 5-6 times, we have no feedback unless we chase them up. Got a bill yesterday for £1416 - theoir professional feels plus advertising!!!!!!! Nearly fell through the floor!!!!

I never signed a contract with them, as we were in the middle of a job at home and I forgot to send it in, the agent said dont worry about it - I felt sick last night, they wont release the HIP till we cough up - hubby working away in Wales so called him devestated - said tell them to sod off and get a new HIP!!!!!! I take back what I said yesterday about him being lovely - almost £1500 for nothing - talk about money for old rope. Hubby who is builder said if he had done no work but filled client with bull he would be embarassed to send a bill!!

What shall I do?? No way can I afford topay them this money - its a joke. I was under the impression it was a no sell no fee like all the other agents - trust me to pick one that doesnt!!!!!

I did sign for the HIP though, with the guy who came out, but I cant remember what their name was - the estate agents are charging us for that. We have dropped by £50K - the first time they advertised in the newspaper it was in at £425K - not the £395K they had valued it at - so that would have put off potential viewers straight away!!!! Wonder if thats one of the adverts they are charging for!!!!! Also apparently advertised in a Yorkshire magazine targeted at Harrogate way - we live near Bradford/Leeds so maybe a bit way ot there!!!! Talk about knowing your market!!!!

I am just worried about the HIP really - will ring lady at the new agents today and explain situation to her

What is happening with you Fly - any new developments - this whole house selling is a nightmare isnt it. We have 2 years left on our visas - might not sell the bloody house by then!!!!!!

Excuse the typos- I am at work and keep checking WPHS discreetly - am also still seething with rage over my bill!!!!!

I am so totally p*****ed off now. The new EA rang me and said that we should drop again, which you know about, and it will go in the paper this week at the new price. Guess what..............not in there:curse::curse:
I am sooooo angry that these bloody EA's lead you on and then don't come up with the goods. F**k, f**k, f**k.

Sorry, nearly forgot Ic, we haven't seen our brochure yet either just the paper copy. I really hope these work for you.
