Avocado Case study of Success #013

Avocado Case study of Success #013

This was a lovely cottage in Blackwater and we are so pleased that such a lovely couple have moved in. They fell in love with the house after seeing it and agreeing the sale was the easy part. However there was some issues with the solicitors on both sides and as a result this transaction needed a lot of assistance.

Neither legal rep on each side communicated with each other, paperwork was incorrectly typed and there was a need for an estate agent to truly be involved all the way through keeping everyone informed to avoid unwanted surprises. The mortgage was a change of address from another sale that had fallen through and this also needed to be carefully dealt with due to the rate not being available anymore either.

On paper a no onward chain sale to a nothing to sell buyer should be simple but some times there are lots of balls in the air and experience is vital. Conveyancing companies at the moment are causing a lot of issues for owners and buyer. Pick carefully and hand on heart we advise recommendations for solicitors based on quality.

Both clients are super happy now and here is the review text from the vendor:

“Ian has sold my house. From start to finish the service has been first class and he has offered a truly brilliant service. Every word he says on his videos is true and he offers a superior and different offering to his competitors."
