I was hoping people might be able to give me some advice.
We recently viewed a property that had been on the market for 6 weeks.
It had one bid on it, the guide price.
The EA told us during the viewing that the couple selling were hoping to get
the guide price + 15k.
We bid the guide price + 5k and that bid wasnt accepted.
The person who bid the guide price dropped out of the bidding.
So we bid the guide price + 10k.
Just found out that this offer has been refused aswell.
Now, I know that houses always sell over the guide price.
I think that its grand when people are bidding against eachother driving up prices.
What I'm really annoyd about is the fact that they had no intention of selling
for the guide price and wont even settle for 5k less.
I'm really annoyed.
Is this a common practise?
Thx.
