We filed a complaint against our Estate Agent after they sold our house. We were basically overcharged and misinformed about the duration of certain processes after the sale was agreed.
Send copies of the IAVI reply and complaint to Senator Shane Ross- He is Business Editor or columnist in Sunday Independent and is keeping a watchful eye on them!
Sorry to disagree with your view on Senator Ross. IAVI has been a long running topic with him- over a year ago he successful applied to Bray District Court and became an 'auctioneer'- with the sole aim of showing up a so-called profession.
So in my books- this is not a short term campaign he is leading
His column last Sunday was devoted entirely to serious allegations against a very prominent auctioneer, whom he named.Shane Ross - The voice of reason, i think his eye is on broadband now, or at least whatever campaign that will keep his voice heard (unfortunately)
BS
His column last Sunday was devoted entirely to serious allegations against a very prominent auctioneer, whom he named.
Do you think Ross should stop criticising sharp practice among auctioneers?
Do you think he should stop criticising our poor broadband infrastructure?
If so, on either count, why?
1) We did notice it straight away he just disputed it until he was corrected by the IAVI. This process took 8 months!I would be very interested in knowing (there are not trick questions BTW, just genuinely interested as to not to get caught myself)
1- how did manage to overcharge you without you noticing straigh away?
2- what responsability EA had in duration of some processes? i thought such processes were under the full control of solicitors and not EA's anymore..
I've just read your post MrMan (which seems to have disappeared). While you went through the article from the Sunday Independent in detail point by point you did not address at any point the issue of the seller (old lady) of the land in question nor did you address the actions of the IAVI auctioneer. I don't know what advice to give the OP but I'm sure a member of the auctioneering body such as yourself would know what he should do.
It is up to everyone in professional life to get their houses in order, including the regulators themselves.
As a matter of interest, what manner would be acceptable to highlight such issues? It's always hard to highlight these type of issues and get everyone to stand up and listen- so some 'poetic' licence (did i spell it right!) may be necessary!
It's a win win but it won't have been down to the ramblings of any particular senator. The IAVI have issued there recommendations for regulation which have been backed by members and are waiting to here back for a number of years now. The IAVI head has been above the parapet rather than buried in the sand.In any case, once the relevant institution (or otherwise) takes note and makes some effort (if necessary) to correct the problems, then in my view, it's a win-win for all sides. The problem arises where the IAVI or similar might just decide to bury their heads in the sand!
The same way as any other issue - write a credible story and let the headlines do the selling.
In fairness this might be asking a bit much when the entire media have been utterly dependent on advertising income from the auctioneering industry for an entire decade.
