Yep, tell me about it.

I bought a car a few years back, turned out the fking thing had been owned by three taxi firms!


Wish I'd had an expert here check it out first.

If only you'd had the foresight of getting a second opinion from Milan or Sas! You too good be a proud Passat/Aygo driver.

Didn't the starship mileage give any clue? or the nasty smell from those air fresheners that they keep on the dash by the bucketload....

BTW it's a new build i'll be the first owner which might be why the solicitor suggested this route...

Sounds like you are using the solicitor suggested by the developer or the estate agent. They are trying to steam roller you in. Why the rush? Push the dates out till everything is in and checked and you are 100% happy.

Shhhhhh. It's my new build.

Everything is fine. All houses have a tin mine in the garden. It's a feature.

thanks for the responses guys - i didnt give the solicitor a firm go-ahead on the completion date without having received the local search.

tbh being my first property i had no idea whether this was the norm or not, i wasn't entirely happy hence the question asking...

But they aren't all advertised and 127 storey 3 bed townhouse with large cellar.

Have you got planning permission for that playroom, though??

advice re. getting a new contract

To: conveyancing-forum.co.uk

Hello All,
I am getting my first contract, have had my offer accepted and Ltd co ready to go.
Basically everything is ready to go however the 'contract' has not yet been received.
I am due to start on Wednesday and my agent has requested his percentage be transferred/paid in full in advance.
I was told that we could still start on Wednesday WITHOUT a desk/login name/password/id card and was advised by the agent that I can take out an insurance policy with him for £29 to cover not ever getting paid.
I was not told what the insurance is called nor how long it will last or any more specific details.
Is this approach an acceptable one? My only fear is that the agent will stop finding jobs for me after Wednesday/completion - since I have transferred all the monies they will have little incentive to push for my benefit.
any advice on next steps would be appreciated, i'm a newby to dealing with agents!
