PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.
We're aware that some users are experiencing technical issues which the team are working to resolve. See the Community Noticeboard for more info. Thank you for your patience.

They will not respond to you twice a week. You are one client of however many they are dealing with and tend to respond to correspondence received rather than chase things up. You should engage the respective EAs in your sale and purchase as they will possibly have more influence in putting forward new business by way of recommendation.1

If they don't have any new information then there's nothing to update you with. Continuously hassling them just means that they have less time to get the actual work done. Remember that you are one of maybe 100+ cases that they are currently working on. If they updated all of their clients twice a week there would be no time to do anything else...JohnBravo said:An email asking for an update twice a week seems like it does not work.Should I call them every other day instead?

Not always practical though. We had an open house with 17 viewings, staggered every 15 mins. How would they have got in our loft? Would you have brought a ladder with you?Slithery said:
I always check in the loft whenever viewing a property.JohnBravo said:I have not seen other viewers bringing ladders to get to the attic.
If the loft has a ladder already and you are on a dedicated viewing with the EA or the vendor, it might be ok but its not always possible.
