Vendor Be Aware

It used to be the case of caveat emptor ( let the buyer beware) but it now seems to be the case of let the Vendor be aware.

We have recently seen out of area Agents opening with the usual promise, and the unforgivable practice of writing to Vendors with properties on the market offering their services on a joint agency.

Recent adverts in the local Press show 13 properties sold subject to contract and one new instruction . But wait, where are these SSTC properties ? Wolverhampton, Stafford and The West Midlands, hardly in the Telford area !

If you are selling, my advice is to use a local Agent with local knowledge and local staff who are able to advise you on the local market and local trends
