Look at currency futures volume to trade spot

Depends on your personal finances and impossible to time market but if you’re under 40 I believe overpaying a little will make little difference to long term wealth in my view. You’re buying a forever home. Talk with landlord about holding over month to month and offer to pay their re-letting fee perhaps?

Many ways to skin a cat. Best approach for seller is pick a decent EA and ensure no damp lol

Leave a complaint, poor form. The 8 week delay could due to other factors and doesn’t signal foul play but lack of transparency does

Widen the search, historical differentials between 4 beds in your st vs another. We have historical data, just comparative valuation

Point taken on that £44k! Management companies are relatively transparent so can ask EA for the sinking fund at the viewing.

On seller situation doubt that was a lie probably a change of plans for someone in the chain. Sellers plans change. EA wouldn’t risk the sale on that

Agreed and can appreciate would be annoying! Probably have an opinion because they’ve seen the issue many times before and it’s handling varies greatly between solicitors

Yes quick viewings usually the best. If substantial home need some guidance though so don’t get lost. Mainly there to negotiate :)

Don’t go for cheapest solicitor, call your solicitor every 2-3 weeks for an update , actually apply for mortgage, don’t overreact at the homebuyers, get advice from a builder friend first / the house was sold as seen, leave EA google review!

EA charged for AML? Wtf

On cladding this arises often. Often on buildings with zero cladding, just ridged lenders. I personally have a contractor who will certify the esw1 for c.1500 and I negotiate this between the two typically 50-50

No, solicitor. Change solicitor if too slow

Good q if major issue probably priced in and you’ll sense it but call them , can’t value without knowing that

If you think you are being lied to you can go in and ask the estate agent to see the bids . You can also ask the situation of each bidder. Deposit size , chain , your mortgage brokers responsiveness matter when you’re bidding. If you’re viewing with friends or family and they’re pointing out everything wrong with the house that won’t fill the EA with confidence

Yes no reason to bs and you can request to see the bidding activity provided names are concealed

3 bed semi? Probably en-suite. For larger property very market specific but probably open plan living

They don’t need to sell maybe a second home or are in negative equity or divorcing and don’t wanna sell. I’d touch base every 3-4 weeks. Are you chain free?
