No going back now....................... - Page 13

................................... quotes from 2 removal companies, the Royal Mail have sent me details on how to re-direct my post, BT have also sent me details about me "taking" them with me, the gas and electricity companies have reminded me to send my meter readings in and the local council want to know when I'm going.

I have not contacted any of the above, only goes to show how the estate agents pass on your info to other companies, and not for free I assume.

Might also be a time to look around at other phone / broadband suppliers, doing some comparisons at the moment and BT are coming out at far the most expensive.

Plusnet is the one I use at the moment, BT in all but name, but much more competitive than BT. Good service too, from a Yorkshire help desk, though some suggest waiting times are lengthening. They are open to negotiation on cost to renew, I have a very exceptional deal from them at the moment - all included, for £24, including free anytime calls.

................................. On the market with a no nonsense estate agent. Wish I had found out about these people first before the other company. The new company have instructed me totally different from the first company.
This company do there photography in house, they even used a couple of my own photo's.

No need to get another EPC certificate as I already have one, they are current for 10 years. I'm using my own solictor's so that cuts the cost down. Plus the new company's commission is slightly less.
They have emailed me copies of all the paperwork through already.

So fingers crossed and the move will be back on.

................................... Is up and Cable Tied to the hand rail at the end of the path. All copies of the paperwork have been emailed to me, the other estate agents failed to do this. The EPC certificate is current for 10 years and that is all sorted.
The property is up on the estate agents website with pictures plus the correct description.

And we have our first viewing tomorrow at 15.30.

All the best Bob 3rd time lucky.

................................ A great success. The agents booked in a lady to come and view at 15.30. And on the dot the bell rang, and it was a chap standing there. Right name just wrong sex. It appears his wife was checking out the flat at 268A. He asked me to confirm whether it was freehold or leasehold, I said the latter. He then showed me the advert for my flat where it states it's freehold.

Well, they got that wrong had they not. And with that he was gone. I phoned the agents and pointed out their error. Oh! Hum! They have to get head office to sort it out. I also pointed out that the person viewing was not a woman but her husband. Something else they need to tighten up on.
