This is my worry. I'm paying people to take this stress away from me. You in your lovely new gaff now MT?Don't speak directly to the buyer/seller. Its too casual. The buyer of my old place is still WhatsApping me. I'm ignoring him now.
Current update is that our solicitors and half of the estate agents in the chain are calling each other now trying to get some dates agreed. It just seems to be a massive free for all and no consistency over who is supposed to do it. I've spoken to two estate agents and a solicitor this morning alone to discuss dates.
I suppose if it's left to solicitors, they have no skin in the game, hence why I imagine estates agents end up getting involved - because the sooner it happens they get paid.
