Hi What agent did you sell with? I am with f&s and they are awful, nearly 10 weeks, only 6 viewings, 5 cancellations, limited comms without chasing them, abrupt, my 14 days cooling off period ended up being 4 days, as property didn't go on market 10 days of signing, they take up a lot of the market properties in gosport, but haven’t got enough staff to manage them, they are the opposite to…’quality over quantity’ I have taken the property off the market as i’d prefer to wait than F&S ...

It is an absolute rip-off to charge ‚£450 (for a single tenant without guarantor), and then again ‚£114 every time you want to extend the agreement.
