Buying house scam

Call the police.

You've lost your money, which i presume must be multiple tens of thousands, maybe even more, maybe hundreds of thousands which makes me doubt the truth of this but maybe unfortunately ist true,

Employ a solicitor to see what can be done but the chances of getting anything back are less than a no deal Brexit.

Yes, I got emails, sms, recorded calls.

I’ll do a bit of research in the company and more likely to go to the police first

Binho

He’s a colleague of a friend who actually bought a house from him few years back

Binho

Hey just for the record not 40% of the house price sir, it’s was 40% of what you’ll pay for a broker

Thanks for you help

Binho

Thanks I did look into it and the house belongs to someone that I did her in hold with. He’s willing to help. Thanks for your help

Binho

Let’s clear that it wasn’t 40% of the actual house price. Thanks

40% of a mortgage broker's fee?

So a few hundred quid at most?

Chalk it up to experience, and move on with life.

Well that puts a different complexion on it, OK you've probably lost your money but maybe £2k not £100k ?

• Use an Estate Agent next time.
• And a solicitor.
• And certainly dont pay a broker any money until the deal is done. There's no way the broker could reserve a house because thats up to the sellers not the broker.

Let’s call it couple thousand.

But it may nor be a bat ideia this is driving me mad, losing nights of sleep and so on.
