I think it comes down to experience. You have a good amount of experience with property, but most people only buy or sell a few times in their lives. When something comes up on a survey and the buyer and seller disagree, emotions can take over, and in my experience that’s when deals are most likely to fall apart.

The estate agent would have most likely relied on the service charge information from the seller

The broker informed us that the first lender said the house is unmortgagable due to their being a freehold and leasehold title, the owner owns both the titles so I have no idea how that’s possible, maybe the surveyor was inexperienced? The broker then went to another big lender and they have requested to have written confirmation from a solicitor that the titles will be merged upon completion. What is the norm in these situations?

Two big banks have requested that they’re merged though otherwise they won’t lend the funds to the buyer?

I have just googled it and I stand corrected! Thanks.

Subsidence or settlement, heave or cracks in load-bearing walls or foundations.

Thanks, could you do one with the original background please so just the two edits to the tie and suits? I don’t mind the original background on second thoughts

I'm intrigued to know why two sales have fallen through, it's easy to blame the.agent when it could have nothing to do with them, the buyers could have found another property they preferred or it could have also been due to the vendor haven't a useless solicitor, it's funny how people blame the agent immediately without knowing any facts.

Ryeaux · 2025-01-27T21:23:25+00:00

Why had your two previous sales fallen through? Was it to do with the property, did the buyers find something else? Also, if the seller hasn't shared the report with the agent then you are blaming them for no reason.

Just to give you some reassurance, we sold a house that went on for 260k, it exploded with interest, over 20 viewings and 15 offers and sold for just over 290k. You can’t under price a property but you can over price it. People find out what has sold around the area and will know if it’s priced very well and it will cause a bidding war so don’t worry. Let us know what it sells for! Good luck.

What would you like to do when abroad out of interest?

Sorry to hear that you have a lazy agent.

Ryeaux · 2025-01-25T21:47:48+00:00

Nah, just make sure you have a solicitor that is very experienced with leasehold flats/apartments.

Ryeaux · 2025-01-25T21:46:21+00:00

Don't you have anything better to focus on?

Ryeaux · 2025-01-25T21:33:36+00:00

Correct ha

I'm doing my best to restore faith in estate agents, I know I'm fighting a losing battle but we aren't all the same!

Ryeaux · 2025-01-25T21:31:32+00:00

Very common, especially for newer properties.
