Who (if at all) are EA's regulated by?
If there is a regulatory body is flat out lying about the condition of the house, length of warranty remaining and state of the legal procedings enough to make a complaint?
I am fed up of being lied to and just told what they think we want to hear to buy them time while they fart about.
Argh - OK Vent over - I feel much better thanks

Is dishonesty enough to complain about them? There have been delays with the vendor's ongoing chain - I wish they would just be honest rather than lie again and again and again.
It almost hurts that they are getting paid to lie.0 -
