Sorry...I need to rant...........I'm sick to the back teeth of Estate agents, letting agents, banks and solicitors . They charge you exhorbitant fees and give a poor service......geesh...

We are 6 weeks down the road of selling our house to our son...no hold ups from us...no chain to worry about....and guess what...a big fat NO communication from the Solicitors...don't answer e-mails. don't answer the phone... it's disgusting. They are charging us £750 for the priveledge and my son the same amount.

Letting agents....want exhorbitant rents, huge admin. fees and and don't send you all the documents you need to sign, and then claim they have.

I am so stressed out .....

I'm off to get myself a glass of wine...

It would have saved you both £1,500. I havent done it myself but my BIL has and successfully. There may even be help packs available for that very purpose. Its becoming more and more popular
I sold one myself and all it cost was a certified public accountant to witness up sign. No lawyers or anyone. I did make one mistake. I did not know I had to charge interest by law. I sold it over a five year period at an agreed to price and I had to lower my price to accomodate my CPA so he could show my income from interest. I had to charge 6% interest.

Good thinking Arnie.....it's too late now (I think), but I'll look into it and see just what's involved.

I chatted to her today funnily enough. She says she is incredibly busy at the moment and only has time to pop in and check her messages, etc. She has loads of FG stuff to catch up on, and she misses us. :-4 :-6 :-6

I have a really nasty ear infection which is making me feel really sick.

I keep feeling as if I'm about to fall over and I can't remember the name of the medicine the doctor recommended last time I had this.

Trixie Belle · Post by **Trixie Belle** » Thu Aug 31, 2006 7:54 pm

I hope you feel better! Nothing worse than an earache!

Was it a Z-pac? (azithromycin)

I don't like drama....it's fun to watch other people make a$$es of themselves, but not so funny when they hurt someones feelings.

GO AWAY DRAMA!
