Lost the house of my dreams today. Before putting an offer down, I call up some conveyancers to get quotes for work done and one of them instead views and puts an offer down.
Super angry. Had been researching it for about three weeks asking questions and wanting a second viewing. The agency didn’t even respond to my first email asking questions for about ten days because apparently it was in their spam box.
I kinda want to go to the agency and flip the tables (not literally, I’m a skinny shit) and for this conveyancer to do it is probably a conflict of interest.
So yeah, really annoyed and have been stewing all day. How do you deal with such situations?
I don’t know if that actually violates any ethics, but it feels like it should, so I’d deal with it by writing a polite letter to whatever relevant licensing body that made it clear how upset I was to get rug pulled by someone I thought was a professional. Even if they toss it you’ll feel better for having written it.

Unfortunately, the property market is heating up now for spring, so I need to spend my time wisely. I think I’m just going to can all the listed properties of this estate agency. It’s their fault that I couldn’t have made an offer earlier because they refused to show me the basement because “they never had the key for it” - a common excuse from dodgy agencies - and with there being no photos of the basement it sounds fishy. I know it leaks, it’s a 100yo property and neighbours have told me theirs does, but I think the agency wanted me to put an offer down without seeing it. When I specifically asked questions about it, they went unanswered, so I’m thinking maybe cracks.
Strange, huh!
Alcohol and discuss protest options with my great group of life long friends.
I have a core group of childhood friends, 40-50 years. We’re trying to arrange our first group protest event!
I stop and take some me time.
