The buyer was prevaricating having made an offer weeks ago without conditions. I spoke to Bairstow's office to put property back on the market but all I got was arguments/reasons why I shouldn't so in the end I became blunt and told "just do ...

I have also had contact with this agent, viewing properties with a friend. They have told us bare faced lies, and appear to be ill educated. A neighbour who works nearby says they spend more time outside smoking, than actually in the office. Some of the properties they list appear to be fake listings, as they do not supply photographs or details at all. ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
He could have stopped pushing us to meet their mortgage brokers and accepted that we had made our mind up to use our bank. He should not have tried to make our meeting with their brokers out to be anything else then a business move. We had absolutely all our papers in order also the bank called them to answer any questions. Don't tell me that is not financial approval enough to present the vendor. Very aggressive and arrogant behavior. He should defiantly work on his people skills and be clear about the intentions he got.

Been truthful, not tried at every opportunity to try to latch onto any loophole to get out of providing even the most rudimentary of care and property management - i.e. providing working keys to the doors which were the only means of fire escape. Kept to their word about permitting permission for early vacation of the property.
