  • Re: Changes to the contract note

    Hi Max, Never, ever, let the estate agent touch the contract!  You will find that estate agents do all sorts of things with legal documents, but they NEVER accept responsibility. If ever an estate agent has a recommendation or ''advice'' in relation to legal documents, have the estate agent explain it in writing to your solicitor, and have ...

  • Guide For Buying and Selling

  • Re: contract conditions
