I would be radiant if it wasn't for the massive incompetence of estate agents
It's no wonder they're reviled as vermin.

Just swapped agents as the first ones were laughably bad

As they're just marketing droids that's pretty much a given.
Too many are just "take pics, bung on internet, wait, profit" merchants.

We rang our last one on a Monday and eventually had to ring back on the Thursday
to be told "Whats the matter like?"

Err, fuck off

Yep
GF is trying to sell her flat, did an open house weekend a couple of months back, the estate agents forgot to advertise it until the day before it happened. There's another one in 2 weeks, I don't have high hopes.

Supposed to be moving today (rented flat)***
Got a call last night. They:-
Don't have the keys*
Don't have the alarm code
Don't have an up to date Gas safety certificate
Haven't cleared the garden**
Haven't cleared the shed***
Haven't replaced the security lighting
Haven't done the 'tenant's leaving check'
Haven't had the place professionally cleaned - as promised.

Other than those 'minor hiccups' (their words) I'm all set!

*The previous tenant moved out on the 3rd of May - and took the keys with her - which begs the question of when were they going to clean/leaving check/gas check if they KNEW they hadn't got the keys?
**Full of slatwall
***Full of old aerosol cans and butane cylinders - not a fire hazard at all -much!
*** Povvo - yeah I know.
