My main issue is leaves lying on the road, being washed into drain covers then causing flooding risk. -

Really don’t know why people don’t sell their property by them selves…or at least start that way… not difficult if a freehold house, might be more complicated if leasehold flat but with a good solicitor doing his work, should be fine. With many people using internet, plenty of people put looking and numerous other ways to reach target audience. Was a relocation agent for years both in sales and letting through London and home counties.. ie acquiring properties for individuals. Same goes for rental/ letting agents.. tenancy agreements are standard, totally agree that various laws governing terms are updated but nowadays the majority of estate agents in letting and I assume sales belong to a recognised body so really one can let oneself. Tenancies are free on line or can be purchased for a nominal sum. What do they do for their commission in both instances? Introduce tenant or buyer, in theory check out references and produce a tenancy agreement, agree amendments, sign by both parties, collect deposit and rent. Organise inventory check in and that is it. And then if you decide to pay them for management of property an additional fee in the hope that they will use approve contractors for all repairs in a suitable time frame for tenant. Was a post earlier or towards last year not sure on here or Facebook covering this point and lack of management from agent for months. I hasten to add that not all sales or rental agents behave in this manner but certainly some in good old ED. was definitely a posting about a well known agent in the village who was “slow” concerning the above. From memory, change if staff and just got buried…in my book totally unacceptable excuse. That is why they have managers in each estate agent to overseas and stay abreast of sales and lettings. Can’t pass the buck…and most companies irrespective of type of industry have a leaving policy and hand over policy produced normally by HR..Same could be said for consultants in new build sales but normally they are responsible and accountable from start to finish ie monitoring sale the whole way, have to produce weekly reports to head office plus follow up on all enquiries. Been their as well over my career.
