  • Not aimed at you, and probably more for the "I Hate" thread, but I can never get my head round people giving times as morning,afternoon etc. I had someone due to collect something on Sunday, asked what time he wanted to come, answer of lunchtime, what time is that? his lunch?, my lunch? my 4 year olds lunch (10am some days..) arghhhhhh

  • Why say evening if you mean before the end of the working day?????
    Why say anytime is good then reject any time I ask for?????
    I have since asked for exact available slots for me to pick and she's come back with another vague response.

    Any recommendations from the hive mind for an EA to value and potentially list a 2 bed maisonette with a garden near Crystal Palace? One that won't make me want to gouge my eyes out before I've even met them.

  • Oh yes, no disagreement there, evening is probably the clearest of them, there is no doubt that starts after the working day...

  • Pedder. Unless you're using Pedder.

    They are all shit.

    But. Context. I think at the moment they are slammed AND nothing is selling, or rather, very few sales are completing. If I were you, I would

    • put a day in your diary in a week or sos time. This is the one valuation day. It is not a Sat.
    • ring round every high street EA, make it clear you want to sell, and ask them to value that day that you've put in your diary. It's critical that they think you are serious. Make it clear you will decide that day or next.
    • also, look at the 'for sale by agent' listings on Rightmove / Zoopla - this will surface other agents you haven't considered. Invite them, too.
    • get PB and Yopa in, I think now is the time to be able to do self viewings

    It's a ball ache, but if they think you are not kicking the tyres they will do what you want.

  • Seems quite a few for sale, at £500k you possibly competitive.

    Zoopla / Rightmove, with a fudge up / down.

    It's what estate agents will do in any case.

    That's some wild optimism there.

    Obviously the thing to also bear in mind is that the same muppets will probably be the ones organising viewings of your property. I didn't bother viewing a few places I was interested in as organising a viewing was too much hassle (most of those were purple bricks).

  • See if wooster and stock will do that area? They have been super professional with ours so far.
