As we were moving overseas and time was of the essence , we asked Sue Wilson to advise a price which would be likely to sell within 3 months. This she did after discussing the reasoning with us.
Potential buyers were very carefully screened before being allowed to view our property and were generally accompanied by Sue herself.
After only 2 months a buyer was found and Sue was toldt there was no chain involved, as a result of which we accepted a much reduced offer as no chain meant us having a great deal more flexibility and the ability to act quickly the moment our oversea visas were granted. Unbelievably, and to Sue and her team's utter amazement, it was discovered they had been blatantly lied to by an agent further down "the chain!" By this time it was too late to do anything about it - Sue was magnificent in "calming me down" and the sale proceeded - only to be constantly delayed by what I have since termed as " feet dragging, fee enhancing, legal parasites" who started asking almost ridiculous questions which really should have been dealt with weeks before!
By now Caroline was on the case. Now this young lady would NOT give up, would take NO NONSENSE from anyone, be it agent, lawyer or whoever! Caroline pushed, shoved and went the "extra mile" more times than we can remember! We can honestly state if it hadn't been for Caroline's doggedness we would not have achieved the sale when we did. We had already suffered delayed flights with associated additional costs because we had acted in the earlier belief that no chain was involved!
The whole journey, as so many others seem to agree, has been a total nightmare, caused entirely by other so called " professional bodies" who proved to be anything but that! We really don't know where we would have been if it hadn't been for Caroline's stalwart efforts on our behalf. We have an awful lot to thank her and Sue for. No matter what problem or excuse raised its head - it was dealt with. Absolutely no grass grew under either of these ladie's feet!!
There are a lot of words in this review, but few in comparison to the efforts made by Sue and Caroline to get us moved. Well done and thank you both so very much.
Terry and Debbie.
Comment on agent fees
For the amount of work eventually involved, exacerbated by fee enhancing solicitors, the fee we paid was extremely good value for money!
