Good advice.



God, I hope so. Don't know how long I can keep doing this.

I know how you feel, it has been a year of cleaning and dashed hopes for me and I don't know how much more I can take.

Ya nana.

I know.

Thanks Wardy2.

Let's hope your buyers get their fingers out very soon.
Hopefully they just need a rocket up the jacksy to see that they have created a situation which could lose them the house.

I bloody well hope she does to

Problem with a lot of these people is they don't know their arse from their elbow and blame everyone else for their own incompetencies.

Think I would be tempted to report her me being in the downright foul mood I am in at the minute

In between seething about our EA. You know we have a tenant for the rental flat now. Well, we got them via our EA as we put the flat as 'to rent or let' 3 weeks ago. This morning I phoned to see how things were going as the tenant wanted to move in on Saturday but the agent was waiting for references. So I was checking they had come in OK. Spoke to the Manageress. She seemed a bit phased, but I thought nothing of it. Anyway at 2.20pm, she calls - shouts down the phone that they need the paperwork from me before they can let the flat. I say that we dropped the paperwork off 2 weeks ago. She says she can't find it... I tell her it was definately dropped off but I can give a copy to the person doing the viewing tonight.

I'm fuming as she implied that I hadn't completed the forms and was lying. Also, this is not the first time their admin has gone wrong. She is only 'a slip of a girl' and I didn't like the way she spoke to me either - barking down the phone.:curse:

Heyho, got home and there was an apology on the ansaphone, paperwork has been found. I hope she grovels the next time I see her.
At least she phoned and apologised. Much more than you seem to get from most people these days.

When do they start realising - YOU PAY THEM.:curse:

LOL She's the Manageress!!! No one to report her too apart from the company owner. It's her, who I think is in cahoots with the developer... I think she's cross that I have not fallen for the pulling out of the sale blackmail and insisted that we keep having viewings.

I think she had to really - she is coming to the house to show people round tonight. I bet she feels about 2" tall now.

Changing the subject complete. Where's Beth gone to. Has she left again? I saw the link that you put up but haven't seen anything more of her.

Hope she's ok.

I presume that she is trying not to get so involved again. She was really stressed. So this time she is concentrating on validating and knows that they can't move for another 2 years, so she can't get too excited just yet. Self preservation.

I'm sick of them too. Just hope this nightmare ends soon and we'll be rid of them.

Your EA's sound like complete pillocks and don't seem to work for their Client do they? Is there not much choice of EA around there or do they normally get good results, because it would be good to tell them where to go wouldn't it?

It seems to be the EA's that cause us all the grief.

I was wondering where Beth was too.

I wouldn't risk bread in our oven - it would burn.
