Forgot........ I got Stung well and truly by an estate agent.
If you should be as stupid as I was and sign a contract with one of these vile thieving misbegotten sons of a jasper, you are in to pay them a commission on your house, for 66 weeks!
No matter who sells your house........... fight it in court? OK, and the Most Honourable deems you pay your own costs (£23K I was quoted)
The Estate Agents Act
advises that a"
Property Ombudsman scheme" should be joined by the said estate agent to
negotiate in cases of dispute! Few have joined!!!
The Office for Fair Trading (OFT) even say that the law
desperately needs to be changed!!!
Forget what the estate agent
says to you ... somewhere buried in the contractual small print will be
sole selling rights
I GOT STUNG WELL AND TRULY!!
I found my own buyer, negotiated the sale, and completed the transaction.
The estate agent that sells waterfront and country properties throughout the South West of England has even attempted to GAG me with court action if I complain..... NICE PEOPLE TO DEAL WITH !!!!
