Dear Michael, We sympathise with your justifiable annoyance in this matter but respectfully, our client withdrew from the transaction, not us. This was a property we had previously been managing. Our client decided to sell and instructed us to serve notice on the tenant who has now vacated. We marketed the property and you decided to buy it. Information we received was passed to you throughout the transaction but we were certainly not aware our client intended to withdraw. Had we have been, i ...

Dear ‘LL’ I am very sorry to see your comments. The logistics of Tenant swaps have often been difficult to coordinate. In this instance, the problem appeared to have beeen compounded as the Landlord lived abroad. We eventually received the Landlords instructions to increase the rent and organise remedial works, despite the difficulty in communication and response times. I understand we did our best to keep you advised of our progress but I can also see this took far long ...
