Thanks everyone, I think i'll just have to wait until the 60 days are up (actually less than 2 weeks now), as I say I am happy with the price so maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree and everything will go through within the time scales we spoke of.0

Unecessarily rudeFrom your final question, it is clear you have no idea what they are offering, what they are guaranteeing, what it will cost you, hat commitment you've made, what exit options you have, what commitment they have made or
Give me strength! You knew we would groan, cos you knew we'd think you were being rash, yet you have not investigated what you are getting into!!!!!!!Changing the world, one sarcastic comment at a time.0 -
So did they not pay you the £1?Changing the world, one sarcastic comment at a time.0

A contract takes place when two people make an agreement (verbal or written) which involves 'consideration' on both sides (hence the importance of the £1 commitmant).Not a lawyer.. but yes they should have paid the money. I know from being a semi photographer that to help make the contract valid for services rather than it just being free, you pay the person a minimal amount ie. £1and that confirms that the contract took place.
'Consideration' = (off the top of my head) something (usually money but not necessarily) being exchanged. By agreeing to pay £1, they offer 'consideration'.
Whether or not they actually pay the £1 does not affect the validity of the contract. If they fail to pay, the other paty can, of course, sue for breach of contract, and claim the £1 (plus costs). But the agreement (contract) is unaffected.0 -

Why dont you ask a local estate agent round, mention nothing about the other company, and see what they value it at. Then ask them what they would sell it at to achieve a speedy sale.
The difference between the speedy sale price and this company's price is the money you have potentially lost using this company.0
