I incurred a financial loss of £2200
I incurred a financial loss of £2200 due to the actions of Aston McSharry, an employee of Cameron Estate Agency.
When the sale was agreed upon, Aston McSharry failed to provide crucial information regarding the tenant residing in the property. Specifically, I was informed that the tenant was a private tenant who would vacate the property once the sale was finalized. However, it was later revealed that the tenant was, in fact, a council tenant.
My solicitor completed the searches and inquiry process within three months, and we were prepared to close the sale. At this point, Cameron Estate Agency informed us that the tenant refused to vacate the property, necessitating an eviction order from the court.
Despite waiting for ten months, no resolution was forthcoming, and my solicitor ultimately closed my file, resulting in a fee of £2200.
This situation could have been entirely avoided had Aston McSharry provided accurate information regarding the tenant's status from the outset. Had I been aware that the tenant was a council tenant, I would not have proceeded with the sale, thereby saving myself the £2200 that I have now lost.
