Everything went well until the day of exchange. That day was horrendous. I fully accept that this was the fault of my solicitor, but Beresfords added considerably to this by phoning repeatedly telling me to vacate the premises; that the vendor wanted access, which was untrue; that we were in breach of contract. Essentially the smiling face of Beresfords was replaced by a greedy snarl.
By the way be very clear about exactly what you are agreeing to pay.
What agent could do to change your mind?
Fees are reasonable, but you are agreeing to pay their costs should you withdraw from the sale.
