Not exchanged and potential buyer getting post & Sky sent/Booked in...

To me, I think they shouldn’t be doing this yet, especially because nothing has been agreed. We had to make a 45 min call to Sky to stop them pulling all our services over Christmas. Today we received post that she has had redirected.

Is this what you guys done, and should we be changing our address with banks or did you wait for exchange like we intend to?

Thanks

Not a major thing, just a little unexpected!

    How far from exchange are you?

  • You don't change anything until exchange at the earliest.

    But it's nice of them to give you new Sky boxes and other leaving gifts.

    This is what I thought...Little frustrated buyer has started to do this.

    If it was me I contact them and bill them £50 for the time I spent on the phone to Sky!

    Your buyers have way overstepped the mark!

  • That would annoy me big time :mad:

    I might even write 'Return to sender - not known at this address' on the mail and put it back in the post box :rotfl:

    Are you selling to a FTB? If so they've probably just got overexcited and shot their load too soon rather than waiting until exchange like a sensible person.

    Let your EA know - they can explain it to them and tell them to stop until exchange.
