  • That was my thoughts. I realise the chipping price goes down badly but it's such a shitty tactic employed by EAs. We shall see. Having photos of our place taken Friday. @Crispin_Glover did you sell with Stow Brothers?

  • Yes we did, well, we are in the process of doing so. Not tossers and they take lovely photos. Ours is an easy sell and went for way over so I can't vouch for selling something more troublesome/expensive.

    The only thing that disappointed me was that our buyers survey showed up damp, which was expected. They wanted to investigate it, and were absolutely insistent on using someone from Rentokil to look into it. I said I know of a couple of reliable independents but they said they trust their guy, even though he's got something to sell. I said fine, but I would obviously question anything they find and have it checked by an indie.

    Since they sell properties daily, a good amount of which must need damp investigated, I was amazed they didn't have a few trustworthy independent specialists on their books who they can recommend.

    (PS in the end it was alright, the guy came over and straight away said it was a bit of condensation from where a sofa was pushed against a solid exterior wall. We must have got the 1 in 3 Rentokil surveyors who you can trust, according to Which?)
