Non-friends of the Albion: Habens Carter Estate Agents

[smudge]

To be honest that sounds like most Estate Agents!

Too true. If you want a tip from me, I'd say NEVER use Wyatts. I had a nightmare with them.
f*** it, never use estate agents if you can get it done yourself. Robbing bastards.
Another tip; a friend of mine had a right ordeal with Arscott's solicitors, so I wouldn't touch them either.

Could it be genetic ?

There is only one answer to that question

 

[Deleted User X18H]

yes I said in an earlier thread wealth is genetic.

Estate Agents promise you everything at the beginning , when they cant sell your house after 4 weeks they suddenly lose interest and are chasing commissions on more recent instructions. I would NEVER recommend using Halifax to anybody , based on them screwing things up when we tried to sell the (previous) house in 2003.

I remember Halifax very nearly bollocking up the sale of my flat 3 days before we were due to exchange. The couple buying it had asked, right at the start, whether the lease permitted animals since they had a dog. The Halifax (who I'd bought through and who had the mortgage on it so knew all the terms and conditions of the lease) breezily assured the vendors that they were sure this wouldn't be a problem. Fortunately, their solicitor (who hadn't known of the existence of the dog) took the vendors through the contract paragraph by paragraph just before exchange and discovered that that animals were not permitted unless all the other leaseholders, including the bloke in the shop below the flats, agreed. This agreement to be provided in writing and witnessed! Fortunately, my solicitor was able to draft the required letter and send someone round to get the required approvals in person. Approvals which, luckily, were forthcoming. Otherwise weeks of work and loads of money would have gone down the pan just because the Halifax couldn't be arsed to check the facts.

It is one thing when an Estate Agent gives you a shoddy service...something else when you have to sue the f**ker to get back money which is, by their own admission, yours.

Why in particular are they 'non-friends' of the Albion?

Dealt with a lady called Ruby from HC back in the 90's and she was very nice.

Firstly, I simply used the 'non-friends' thing as a play on the 'Friends of the Albion' business directory.

You might have had a good experience with them back in the 90s but something seems to have gone awry recently. Hence a court order has been issued against Tony Carter. We also got our solicitor to look into a variety of other areas of the business and things were found to be lacking across the board.

I'm glad Estate Agents are having a tough time. Robbing bastards. They have had it to good for too long.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

I bought my flat from Wyatts never had a problem. Just to even things up like.

I once took Habens Carter to the small claims court.....and won
The ****s still took ages to pay up

 

[Buzzer]

Not every Estate Agent is a tosser. That one up Hanover near the codfather chip shop are top people (and Albion fans)

And my mate has just started his own estate agency business Brand Vaughan in Kemptown. He will give you a tip top service.

There is no need for language like that. I find it highly offensive...

Am awfully sorry. Thought you were used to that kind of language after spending your saturday with those two evil racists.

I heard much worse coming from the bloke standing next to me. He who aspires to high ejection levels like those two racists.

**** is a great word.

**** is a great word.

or ****s

 

[csider]

How come you can put ****s but not c u nt ??

 

[Woodchip]

surely anyone who aspires to be a mod, would know a persons surname starts with a CAPTIAL letter, those of us who haven't reached such a level would not !!!!

Surely those proposing to have superior intellect would know that a sentence should start with a capital. Exclamation marks should not have a space before them either.

Oh, and your comma is serving no grammatical function, therefore is not needed.

Yeha, yeah.......like when an agent does sell for you I wonder if you say......seeing as the previous sale fell through here is some money to cover some of your aborted costs?? Thought not.

Pay your solicitor in full for any abortive work??
