Funny isn't it, I had a bit of a spat on here with someone, then I had a flurry of emails for a week, even photos of the house! Then in the last fortnight..............Nothing, even though I have emailed twice, to two people from the same company.

I should have said, any email is preferable to nothing, even if I can't be helped, I would rather know, the last two emails I have sent was an answer from a request from them, to arrange to go to the property with my Mum-in-law who has a key, so I supplied the number....................Nothing! Not to my Mum-in-law, or to me.

Just in case they are reading this Linda's (Mum-in-law) number is: 05338389443

then they must be prepared to act accordingly to make such trust justified.'



The EEAUs 'Safe in the Sun' property exhibition, for members of the EEAU only, is taking place at the York Racecourse on 4 - 6th May. The venue is also proving a success for the EEAU with over 25 members taking up the option to exhibit at this unique property exhibition. The EEAU reports that new members are joining the EEAU because of the competitive prices to exhibit at this exhibition. The 'Safe in the Sun' property exhibition is opening its doors to the public for free in May and features agents from all corners of Europe. The EEAU will be in attendance so that members of the public will be able to see the good work that the EEAU do for the overseas property industry.
