Random Irritations

[fundy]

If you are looking to buy have you thought of dropping notes through doors asking people if they are considering selling. Worked for someone I knew.

We werent that settled where we wanted to be to do so, have had a large search area, that said we have decided on a few roads in our current village to do just that as they fit the bill perfectly. I wrote the letters yesterday and theyll be going on this afternoons dog walk

Having had the misfortune to use an estate agent recently for the first time in many, many years all my former irritations with them from 20 plus years ago still remain. Poor service, misunderstanding of their local market, shoddy admin and mostly prices based on house price % not on services offered. As house prices have risen their prices are now way above any value you can put on them.
Do companies like Purple Bricks etc. do a better, cheaper job? Given things like Rightmove and modern comunication methods costs of traditional estate agents should have reduced not increased and their role has diminished, why aren’t they being overtaken my a different business model?

I used Purplebricks...no they don't. You do it yourself.

So still no completion date, baby due in 3 weeks and the mortgage offer expires on May 29th. We're buggered.

Our buyer sent his buyer's solicitor an email direct telling them to pull their finger out, had a reply saying it was priority and it was in hand. That was Wednesday and nothing since. All enquiries answered and still can't be arsed to do their jobs.

I used emoov and had the choice of doing my own viewings.

We did our own with PB, met some of the rudest thickest people in my life. We asked people to stick to two people only, one family had 6 with them. Another asked where we kept all our rice, wtf.

Online surveys from supermarkets; "Why were you not highly satisfied with your visit to our site?" Because it's food shopping, sorry if I can't get to a state of high satisfaction over a necessary evil. Get over yourselves Sainsburys.

They got satisfied; it did what it needed to. As to highly satisfied, if I ever get highly satisfied over grocery shopping put me in the boat next to Steve Redgrave.

Friday night shift overtime. Previous shift left me with a load of wiring to do and their cable management is reminiscent of a birds nest. Not to mention it was outside work as well.

Numb hands, farty wires and dark makes me a dull boy.

I've stopped doing ratings on almost everything. I expect good service, why should I spend 10 minutes filling in a survey for everything I buy ? ?? I'll soon let you know when I'm not happy !
