thanx will do kuepper
My handler was that bad when I was watching an episode of the Simpsons I thought I had Lionel Hutz from the Simpsons acting for me. Would have preferred going direct to Lionel.I've used Merritt's for the last couple of buy-to-lets, not again I have to say, I wasn't impressed at all.
I've been recommended Jackson's by an estate agent, so I'll try them next.
I think all sols are under pressure and overworked though, so it's a tough choice.
I used them for a sale last year (Guissy branch). They were okay and the price was fair ~£800, but they weren't the quickest. That was probably down to Covid, plus I was not really in a rush so didn't push them. It took about 4 months in total.Does anyone have any experience with buying using Fre ers Ask ew Bunt ing?
I've agreed a price with the buyer and the Estate Agent has contacted these for me for a quote.
I'm a first time cash buyer so don't have to pay stamp duty.
Thanks Japsi,I used them for a sale last year (Guissy branch). They were okay and the price was fair ~£800, but they weren't the quickest. That was probably down to Covid, plus I was not really in a rush so didn't push them. It took about 4 months in total.
Actually I've just found the following website. Can those above who recommended them verify that this is the correct company please?The seller is already using Freers Askew Bunting so I need to find another one.
Does anyone have a link for Jacksons as I have no idea what or where Macro is?
TIA
It's not all down to the solicitors. Searches are taking forever. My sister-in-law is selling her house in Bishop Auckland and it's dragged on since May. We had our offer accepted at the end of July and it was mid-November before we completed - cash sale on an empty apartment.....I used them for a sale last year (Guissy branch).

Cheers NY, I'm a mortgage free cash buyer, so do you know if Level Two applies?Make sure you get a RICS Level Two survey, regardless of anything the mortgage company might want.
Yes, get it done. They'll find anything that needs doing. I had to get some electric fittings changed and negotiated a price change based on that. I got "mate's rates" on the survey, but it's really not expensive.Cheers NY, I'm a mortgage free cash buyer, so do you know if Level Two applies?
I understand its only an obligation for a buyer if using a mortgage company but its an old property and I'd like one for peace of mind before signing.
Thanks Joey, I'll check them out. I've found a few others online via RICS recommendation site.I used Joe Fraser Chartered Surveyors for RICS Level Three Building Survey, £650.
I was a sparky in a former life so hopefully I'll be able to suss the condition of the wiring myself. ThanksYou should also get an EICR done by a qualified electrician. Once any work is done, you'll get a certificate that it's satisfactory.
