Yes - get a colleague or friend to ring the agent and, without disclosing that they know you, ask what the latest offer is on the house you're bidding on. If it's your bid and not the +€5000 then you have a phantom bidder.

None at all.Though thinking about it I wouldnt have any real hard evidence.
Yeah I guess you're right Satanta, there's no point trying to second guess them, if the price goes up toomuch then just back out be it phantom or not. It's just so frustrating knowing that you have no recourse with them and that seem to hold all the cards
I agree, its a catch-22.
Slightly off subject, but my brother replaced the dashboard in his car after about 20k miles, so it was reset to zero. After another 20k miles he traded it in, and the garage knew it had 40k miles, and not the indicated 20k.
We rang the garage a week later enquiring, and sure enough, we were told it 'only had' 20k miles
Bear in mind that the estate agent is acting on behalf of the seller. They should be aiming to get the maximum possible price. I think the degree of ethics and morality in the group as a whole would not be rated very highly by the general public.
