Sent: 06 March 2015 12:54:13 To: tilehurst@parkersproperties.co.uk (tilehurst@parkersproperties.co.uk) I didn't expect viewings to be arranged after a decision in principle was provided and the offer was accepted. I would like to know at what stage Parkers take the property off the market.

May I request a copy of the code of practice that Parkers follow. Avoid such pathetic estate agents using ugly Gazumping practices.
