    OK. With a perfectly straight face, I am NOT an off duty agent, despite my post count. I think you could have taken them for more.

    Just so's we're clear - the EA sent you a £100 cheque to pay you off after you complained?

    Can we also be clear - what did the contract say, specifically the part that you think they breached?

    Just an example of the sharp practice used by Estate Agents. Cant be bothered to wait until the sale has completed to send the flyer, when it would be public record at Land Registry.

    You were the one who told is it was 'Sold' in your OP. Now we see this didn't mean (in your terms) 'sale completed' ....

    What stage were you at? Offer accepted? Contracts Exchanged? Somewhere else?
