Exactly this.
Mostly inept solicitors to be honest
I've read so many horror Stories
From gazumping to failure at end. Feels so wrong you can be in this position spending out on surveys etc for it to all fall through at the end
My biggest problem has been complete lack of communication between solicitors. You have to keep chasing them and encouraging them to pull their fingers out to get anything done.
I dunno exact story but the first person who put in an offer for our old house apparently solicitor screwed them right up - he was looking to acquire multiple properties on the same road as a bit of a development project so wasn't as hands on with the individual properties as a private buyer would have been. Supposedly they told him 2-3 months late that we'd taken the house off the market when infact we'd sold it to someone else after it went quiet despite giving his solicitor a deadline in the end after multiple contacts to try and get progress.
Some agents like Purplebricks give you the sellers/buyers details to contact them directly, I take it this wasn't the case
At least everyone seems to be having a better time than me!
After 15 views on the MIL property...
After 15 views on the MIL property, and ALL feedback saying the same, we decided to have a sit down with her and discuss the options. Principally reducing the house in price.
She reckons it's worth £525k, the estate agent £420k-£450k and we've gone from £525k to £500k to £490k and wanted to drop to £450k.
