Has anyone heard of this before? The estate agent looking for proof of mortgage? The thing is that we don't have a mortgage, we want to buy in cash, we have a reasonable amount available but not the full asking prices that are out there. We would be putting in offers 20% to 30% lower depending on the property of course. What should be done in this situation? Should we say straight out that we are cash buyers? We can't provide any proof of mortgage but want to view houses!
