Unhappy with estate agent - can we use 14 day cooling off period to change?

glennevis said:Not sure I agree with that last paragraph eddddy. If the EA chooses to spend money on marketing during the cooling off period, they are taking a risk that the client pulls out and they must stand any loss. With the 14 day cooling off period you can cancel the service at no penalty provided you haven't waived this right by explicitly agreeing that a service will begin within the 14 day window.
Yes - you're correct. But every EA contract I recall seeing includes the waiver.
I guess the OP can check to make sure that waiver is present, but it would be a very sloppy EA who started doing work (like taking photos) if they didn't have that waiver.1 -
Make sure you are not blaming EA/photos etc. when there is another more obvious reason for lack of interest.0

Is Zoopla still on the go? Who knew? That apart, is this agent advertising other properties better than they are yours? Or is this how they advertise everything...?Robby1988 said:We have a bare minimum 9 photo advert on Rightmove, the pictures are not that great, its not on Zoopla (we assumed that was a given) and we just don't think are getting good value for money when we look at how the other agent we have in mind is listing their properties.1 -
Zoopla/Prime Location is (are) still active thank goodness, as the filter/search facility is so much better than Rightmove.AdrianC said:

And try not to go the Virtual route, unless you are really good at presenting/making videos
