We are dealing with a very cagey/shadey estate agent we feel. We showed a huge interest in a house...not verbally of course...but went for multiple viewings, asked lots of questions and asked to be kept posted on any offers.
Went for last viewing on Sat and phoned on Monday to put an offer on.
Now this house is in bits, on the market for a long, long time and a complete doer-upper. Didn't even get to put offer on as we were told they had been offered the asking price. We were never even phoned to be given a chance to outbid it. Left a considerably lower offer on the table and asked to be kept posted if it went sale agreed/deal fell through etc.
Never heard back. A friend phoned today and was told the house went sale agreed at 10 grand below what we were told. We phoned a couple of hours later and were told it was sale agreed at the higher price once again.....aaaghhh!
We are thinking of dropping up to the owner in the hope of finding out the true version...any thoughts on this option?
