    And as I have said before the EA does not work for you so you cannot instruct them what to do - only the seller can.

    No.


    And as I have said before the EA said they WOULD take it off.

    They would have meant take its 'for sale' status off and mark it as 'Sold STC'.

    You realise as well as being on the web the house actually exists in real life too, visible to anyone who cares to glance at it when passing by? With a for sale board right outside it too, a for sale board that now will say "Sold - STC", are you going to insist they cover it in camouflage netting as well?

    Aaah! NOW I understand. Sorry.

    Well in that case clearly you should start legal proceedings against the estate agents (with whom you have no contractual arrangement) for breach of.... errr... promise? contract?

    And since the property is clearly still being marketed "SCT" I would not spend a penny on surveys, mortgage application fees, solicitors fees - certainly not till the EA has done precisely what you want him to do.

    Thanks. In that case my last word will be to remind you what I actually said:
    And as I have said before the EA does not work for you so you cannot instruct them what to do - only the seller can.

    I expect the sellers have now instructed their agent to cease marketing.

    OP. you sound way too highly strung to be buying a property.

    Just wait until you have a survey done and the owners wont agree to fix every minor little thing that gets noted on it.

    Woe betide your solicitor when he is too busy to take your call as well.
