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?

    What country are you in? I am unfamiliar with conveyancer but it seems to do a combination of what a real estate agent and attorney do in the us.

      They survey the building to make sure it’s fit for habitation, what problems may arise and then write a detailed report and charge you loads of money for it.

        ah ok. I just I guess think of it as the inspection and usually my agent found the place to do it. thing is that usually the contract is signed at that point. was that not the case?

      I googled “conveyancer” as I’m also unfamiliar with the term, and I think the results should answer any questions about it.
