Hi I was just wondering if someone could help me. My dad is selling a piece of land at the moment, after a few weeks of bidding (with 2 auctioneers involved), he agreed to a price with one of them - that was in April. Since then, it appears to me that very little is being done.
It is my understanding that as soon as a price is agreed, a notice requesting planning permission is placed on the site, a notice is also placed in the paper - eventually the request goes through the County Council etc. and after approx. 12 weeks, planning permission is either granted or not.
But it is now July, no sign has gone up, no notice in the paper, when my dad asks the auctioneer various questions, he seems to be getting the 'runaround', for example the identity of the buyer is unknown, my dad also has never seen the cheque for the deposit? This all seems very dodgy/suspicious to me, am I right?
