Appalling estate agents. I spent £2000 on solicitors and a survey just to find out 2 weeks before exchange of the property in Martock that the illegal work done on the property which is grade 2 listed has never had restrospective planning permission and no certificates can be produced to show this work ever had permission. I had to pull out losing all my money. The manager informed me that he is good friends with the seller which speaks volumes.
I am an older single lady and I was constantly being pushed to complete the sale before Xmas without being given the time to ask any questions, thank goodness my solicitor did some digging and advised me under no circumstances to buy this house or I would have been responsible for all of the illegal work that had been done.
Now he has put the property back on the market knowing full well what the situation is in the hopes that some other mug will buy the property without doing any research.
This property should NOT have been put back on the market while there is listed work that has not been signed off as it is illegal unless the buyer has been expressly informed and I very much doubt that is going to happen. They constantly tried to fob me off.
I am in the process of reporting this seller and the estate agent to the listed building department at the local council and will also be putting a formal complaint in to Propertymark and will also be looking to going to the small claims court to get my money back. Do not use this agent they are crooks.
