How many times would you bug an EA for updates?

I emailed the estate agents all the time when we got stuck in a long chain. We ended up pulling out in the end but I did used to email and say the people who are buying can you find out if it’s another chain added on or if it a vacant property and it was always a chain added on so we cut our losses and moved on. The estate agent usually got back to me the next day after talking to the estate agent above them etc etc. 

no harm in asking. Better to know if the chain is getting ridiculously long and you decide you might actually looking for a no onward chain property. I personally would t wait for the estate agent to confirm when the chain in complete as that could be ages. 

Thank you, that is my fear being stuck in a super long chain with no end.  Appreciate your advice.  

For goodness sake! Find another property to buy!

Hi everyone. Just wondering how often you would think it was acceptable to call an EA for an update?

We made offer back in October which was accepted but since then our sellers have had to pull out 3 times of onward properties for various reasons. They’ve now had an offer accepted on another property but I’m itching to know how long the chain is as we’ve already been waiting for ages. 

Sellers EA is slow in getting back and I’ve not heard anything. Would you call on a daily basis for an update or leave it a few days? Don’t want to be a nuisance.

Thanks! 

It's the squeeky wheel that get's the oil!
