Hello
I wonder if anyone can give me their options on the following
My sister went to see a house yesterday which was advertised at a price in excess of 308K. She met the agent at the house yesterday to view and liked the house, she asked the agent what would the vendors accept as an offer, and she said that she would have a very good chance of getting the property at 310K. She know her budget etc and said that she would like to put in an offer of 310K, and the agent then said that there is no way that the vendors would go for this, but she would put it too them,
She then rang my sister back 2 mins later and said that they would not go below 315K, my sister though about it and my family offering her a little cash to help her on her way then went to the agent today and said that she could go to 312K, the agent then came back and said the the vendors would not now go below 317K,
it would appear to me that this is bad advertising on the agents behalf, and there is no way that my sister would have considered the house at this price, she knows what she can afford so jumping from 308K to 317K seems a little crazy, bearing in mind that this house has been on the market for sometime now and no offers, it seems very underhand by the agent.
