The transaction was not completed, we lost a large sum of money in searches and solicitor fees as the other side - the seller pulled out after 5 months in process, 2 weeks before completion. We received no support from Connells and feel defrauded.
We decided to invest in holiday rental property last autumn to be on time and make most of the summer season business. In September we made an accepted offer on a property sold by Connells choosing between 3 other apartments. As mentioned above it ended up badly.
We are devastated as I rushed to exchange my money in an unfavourable course of exchange to fulfil my commitments (all my savings are in CZK). This was in time when the course of exchange was expected to turn favourable and already did since, this leaves me further thousands in a loss, there is now no property to pay for suddenly!
Our business plan and future earnings are shut down for this whole year.
There was no communication from the agents after the seller pulled out. I wrote a polite email to Clare (our agent) stating these facts and asking if there is any chance we could get the fees back as it's so unfair.
I never got any reply. The seller pulled out, we are out of the game! There is certainly no politeness or sympathy to be expected from these crocs.
It matches the morals of the seller, who I have politely asked if they could cover the legal fees since they pulled out and was told ' Honey wake up, you'll learn that legally I don't have to pay anything'.
We are fully aware of the situation, that estate agents have enough of buyers and they are just trying to get the sellers in, but the way they treat people is an unacceptable disgrace.
