I made the mistake of signing up at an estate agent a while ago. Keep getting loads of emails/mails etc with the same old houses. They must be pretty desperate to sell stuff.

And are you going to need to give him 3 references before he gives you the keys?
Has Dodgy diversified, I wonder?

As in go out on a date?Originally posted by Wilmslow View PostPut an offer in on a house today.
Estate agent says company policy that I must see their man.
Ok I says - what does he do?
Er - he deals with mortgages, is their reply.
Fine - IFA or a CEMAP sales introducer, I ask?
Er - not sure, but you need to see him, is the reply.
So, I think - they want me to see a guy not specialising in the unique circumstances that I have, and, are likely to then be not putting my offer in a fair and honest light to the vendor.
I know estate agents are getting desperate these days, but!!!
Not overly worried as my offer is to stamp duty limit and I know that they are not going to get any more than that. I am in a position to proceed, so, hoping just getting the AIP emailed over to me will be enough to get it sorted.
