I'm due next week. Please take into consideration although maybe it doesn't account for all.....!
At Xmas we made an appointment at our local estate agent. We rent, nothing to do with this agent though. It's been several years since we looked at mortgages do we thought we would test the market. This EA has an independant advisor. We were clear we were not looking at houses, just mortgages.
Said EA this weekend contacted our landlord. Turns out in 2012 they wondered if to sell and had house valued with this EA. The EA actually put in the email that as we were actively house hunting they wanted to help us and then them with any buying/selling/renting assistance!
We found out because landlord, justifiably a bit surprised/hurt by email off EA sent us an email.
I'm distraught. I'm terrified landlord is cross and we could be evicted. I'm astounded at the confidentiality issue as well. The EA had no business mentioning anything to do with usin their email. We have emailed landlord and are yet to hear back. We have complained to EA who just said " it was just a chatty HNY email?!?" I feel they effectively gave notice on our house without our consent.
Wtf? Aibu? Am i Over thinking this or has the EA genuinely acted inappropriately? I think so and dh is furious. I want to follow it up but it's not like I bought a jumper, how do we get this sorted?
