    It always make me laugh when people phone up and ask what's going on. I always ask them if they've spoken to their solicitor as that's who I get the updates from.

    A good Estate Agency will employ a co-ordinator to help facilitate the process. ;)

    You'll find it's just one of the regular staff but the agent likes to make themselves sound good ;-)

    How many times do you think they sales chase on the same property?

    Spoke to the solicitor and apparently the EA IS getting involved- a Sales Progressor will negotiate with the vendor to pay the SD.:cool:

    Who will then write a letter to the solicitor to advise them of what is happening!

    The "sales progressor" is just a member of staff in the office. They are also a sales negotiator who will deal with any customers coming into the office.

    If the vendor says they will pay the stamp duty, the agent will send a standard letter to the solicitor BUT they (solicitors) will still require confirmation from the seller and buyer that this is happening. They SHOULD NOT just take the word from the estate agent.

    I used the same agency 4 times in fifteen years. Both sold and bought 3 times through them. Excellent service. Having somebody in the middle keeping everybody informed was worth the extra .25% or so fee.

    Likewise the solicitor.
