Maybe those are the instructions that the vendor has given them? Their prerogative I suppose. They may not want any potential hassle with the buyers of their property getting delayed because their own property doesn't sell on time. Maybe if you can convince the vendor and their agent that the sale of your property would not be a problem even if it was delayed (assuming, of course, that this is actually the case) it might help?We have seen the house of our dreams and want to put an offer in asap. However, when we saw the house lastnight, the EA implied that they would not accept any offers if we or anyone else had a house to sell! Hardly seems fair that you have to have your house sold before you can look for a new one! Is this normal?
, the EA implied that they would not accept any offers if we or anyone else had a house to sell! Just wondering if there are any ways around this requirement or alternative suggestions to the EA and vendor that may have worked in the past?
Our own house has only recently been placed on the market.
Fully agree.Can see why the vendor would want this. If the shoe was on the other foot....
So whilst we're confident our house will sell (its up for a good price) we know that the house we want is way over priced. So i think its abit much to insist that we must have ours sold before we can bid.
This of course could be to your advantage as you will at least have peace of mind of not having a burden of 2 properties.In fairness i think we've resigned ourselves to waiting until ours is sold
Wondering if we have to tell the EA we have a house to sell at all? I mean who's to know?
Yeah, their house has been on the market since the summer. Previously went to auction, did'nt get the asking price, changed EA's and added another €200,000 onto the asking price and still no takers, we're they only ones interested!
increase or reduced price by €200k?
It should have nothing to do with the EA whether or not they will accept an offer dependant on a buyers position. He should have clear guidlines from the seller, who he is working for, and if no conditions are given he should provide the seller with every offer no matter what the background. Just because an EA takes an offer to the seller, it doesn't mean that the seller won't reject this offer for a lower one from a buyer in a better position.I believe that it is standard enough for an EA not to accept any offers from someone who hasn't gone sale agreed, so for the second house we went to see we told a 'white lie' and told the vendor's EA we had offers in on our own house (our own house wasn't even up for sale at that stage), I know this was a bit risky but we were confident we'd sell our own house very quickly (sold in 2-3 weeks). I know other people who've done this also.
