The year has started with all guns blazing, mostly to do with solicitors trying to earn some cash after three weeks off!
As agents, we are often to be found chasing up deals and providing information to the higher power that we have already let them have; we operate in that quasi world where we are often expected to work for free. In other words, our job is to find a tenant/ buyer. However we often are a port of call for epcs, various reports and other random information, such as plans and enquiries. None of this is chargeable but we do it because we want to get paid for finding the tenant/ buyer and it smoothes the process and thus speeds it up.
I cannot imagine solicitors not racking up their unit calculators for doing the same.
Whilst we are busy, it does seem to be of the holding hand variety and trying to get deals finalised and through legals. In essence we are chasing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, often very elusive.
