Hi Folks,
My wife and I were recently approved for a mortgage. We saw a house we liked and decided to call the estate agent to arrange a viewing. The estate agent essentially told my wife that he did not want to waste her time or his time as there are differences in terms and agreements between the bank and the seller or something to that effect. He mentioned that the seller has the house up for sale just to show that he is trying to sell it but that the bank actually do not want the house to be sold. The estate agent mentioned that even we put in an offer at the asking price it would be rejected.
Does anyone know what is going on here. It all seems a bit strange to me. Should we try to contact the seller directly?
Thanks.
