Sold privately.... Sell privately. Get a mortgage and a solicitor yourself. Then advertise privately....
tried to sell a flat through an estate agent, they sent tonnes of Pikeys around who were expecting the local coincil to give them all free windows and such, then wait for months for the bastards to sort out new buyers just after the others cancelled.
In the end 'insisted' that they took the place off the market and take down their 'Sold' sign, (which they never did, even to the point where they put up a second and third sign after hacking down the old ones....) Their maintainance 'Company' kept coming round even after we'd not dealt with the agents for 6 months....
Sold to some friends, saved them and ourselves a few grand in the process...
Never use an estate agent. Bunch of money grabbing fuckwits that they are. There's simply no need....
