Trying to get quotes

Recommended Posts

I am trying to get quotes for some exterior painting and arranged for some of the highly recommended people on the Forum to call round to take a look. It's depressing that 2 of them, Dave Franklin and Pat from Professional Building Services, both agreed to come round and then didn't turn up. It's concerning that although I stressed to both that my time is limited at the moment and to let me know if there were any delays neither bothered to do this. It's such a waste of my free time and also, to me, it's in their interest surely to actually care about how they behave towards potential customers who, in turn, may then recommend them to others to ensure future work. I am sure they are skilled painters but the lack of courtesy is, as I say, depressing - I wouldn't act this way in my job. Life really shouldn't be this difficult.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.
