So you two wouldn't sell through this agent, even if you had the type of property that they had the best track record in selling - because of the blurb?


Or pass on TheHouseOfYourDreams? - for the same reason?




You're nuthin' but a lotta talk an' a badge.

You really think it makes a difference what they write? I don't.

Probably not, but I would feel dirty (in a bad way).

No.. but you reckon you'd be put-off dealing with them because of it.


And come on.. feeling dirty is an inescapable part of buying or selling a house!

You must have been popular with your hopeful buyers. Why would you do that?

Probably explained by a quote from the film Capricorn One...


Robert Caulfield: I'd like to hire your plane.

Albain: That'll be a hundred dollars.

[...]

Robert Caulfield: Okay, one hundred.

Albain: One hundred and twenty five.

Robert Caulfield: What?

Albain: Because you said yes to a hundred too quick, which means you can afford a hundred and twenty five.

If a Wooster & Stock description is winding you up, I think you have issues. It's what they do, like them or loathe them they certainly stand out from the crowd - as evidenced by this thread.


The photographs make the house look great, it might not be your style but I've got more then hunch that most of the people throwing rocks in this thread are doing so from a (badly designed) glass house.


*Shrugs*


If I had that sorta coin, I'd book a viewing - at least it's different from the endless stream of Victorian conversions that are churned out.

What I should have written was "which I regrettably had to turn down"


The buyer/seller chain stagnated essentially.


I was well pleased with the offer, but didn't want to sell and be left in a vacuum renting.

Eh, I was only teasing Loz - of course you're entitled to your opinion. I just find it amusing that people have their panties in a twist because someone described a door as 'fab'.


But it's sunny outside so I'm going to stop arguing about stuff on the internet :)

No one has their 'panties in a twist' stevie - we like it when young people use words like fab -


- just taking the piss because the description is fucking ridiculous for what looks like a 1980s Barrat home with rocks in the front garden... some find that funny .. some may even find the defence of it funny too... like a laugh, see when they get bored? (I have a tragically short attention span and can be distracted by

well said...and no it's not my house, or my taste - but I even quite enjoyed the W&S description. They're a bit like Roy Brooks' descriptions - overtly verbose, but isn't that the point of selling, providing one can read words?... Someone will love it and good luck to them I say.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
