Buying and selling a house

[Lordglenmorangie]

Why do conveyancing clerks make such a meal out of the simple act of transferring the ownership of a house to another person. We are in the electronic age every where except when dealing with property !

They're all arses.

I had an estate agent bothering me for three years about selling my house then when I agree and it goes in the market he buggers off on holiday!
Then I agree a sale and the buyers bugger off on holiday, this was when I was assured that the buyers were, warning estate agent clique no.1 coming up, "really excited about the property".

I just think they are all in it to make a quick buck as another £5k on a property isn't really that much % wise. fkers the lot of them.

Agree, we are going to be nine weeks in at least for a purchase, no survey required, no borrowings , we are in rented the seller is going into rented .
When we contact our conveyancer she says she doesn't like our attitude , how dare we question the time scale, I kid you not !

Try instructing a proper property solicitor then.

People want to pay the bare minimum for conveyancing yet expect silver service.

You get what you pay for.

Estate Agents are far more deserving of peoples wrath. They take no risk, often have to do very little to move a decent property in a good market yet usually take a far bigger fee than the lawyers.

You do not get what you pay for
