They are absolute cunts, followed up with lawyers/solicitors .
Think they are absolutely doing you a solid favour when they are making a packet out you! If only they were italian, they'd want the money and then you'd owe them a favour too...

The solicitor who acted for us when we bought this place did an amazing job. The previous owner did all sorts of things without planning permission which needed sorting.
Plus she wrote a letter to the moaning buyer of our house basically saying fuck off in legal terms. Top job.
Maybe she was an exception?

And if they were polish, would they want the money and then steal your car?
You really come across like an idiot.

Total first world problems, I know, but why is buying a house such a needless pain in the arse?
Through a chance encounter with the seller we both ascertained that the estate agent has been doing classic estate agent things (lying to both of us telling us the hold up is the other party, referring work to people they are friendly with, rather than professionals with a track record of doing things). I have tried very hard not to generalise and to give this estate agent my trust, but I've caught them telling barefaced lies to me. Then the local authority told us it'd take just under a month to return searches, but have just completely missed the deadline they set themselves with no apology, and no new deadline for when it'll be done.
I'm trying to just go with the flow and not stress, but the control freak in me hates how little is in my control, and the miser in me hates how many people are involved in the process who earn their slice seemingly without caring whether they do a good and honest job or not.
