In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour.

Chasing up our estate agents

You could always bypass the agent, let your buyer have your number and arrange it that way.
When we moved to our previous home we wanted a fence doing as soon as we moved in (we had a dog and the fence was just the wire type builders put up) so the lady we were buying from was happy for two companies to go around, this was sorted without the ea being involved.
When we bought this house we exchanged numbers with the couple we were buying from and spoke quite regularly to see how things were going, as both of us wanted to push it through. They were moving to Australia and we already had people lined up to rent our old house.0 -

I suppose to quote what my other half said this morning...just bloody call them I don't care if builder is busy I just want to know when he is coming even if it is in 2 weeks!!
My OH seems to think being a dragon gets things done and sometimes it does but sometimes you need to leave things a little give people time!!

I am off work at the moment. She works and is in meetings most of the day. Estate agents seem to prefer dealing with me as well as most calls have been to me!0
