Advertised a house for £375k, I called up and said I’ll pay £370k, was told on the phone seller won’t budge a penny so basically the agent didn’t even put my offer forward as he was meant to anyhow a few days later I called again I was told they couldn’t get access into the property for a few weeks so they was running an open day. I said just to save you the time I’ll give you the full asking price of £375k and I’m an investor so ready AIP and Solicitor. Again I was told we will be moving forward with the open day as planned which I respected but she said to me if you want to increase your offer now we can even though no one else has out an offer in. I was told Monday the 17th Jan would be final offers day as that was after the open day and I would get a call to put my full and final offer in to have a chance in the running. Instead I got a call on Tuesday 18th and was told someone else’s offer has been accepted. Absolutely shocking and both staff members I spoke to where just plain and simple rude each time. When I got the call that my offer wasn’t accepted I just said thank you very much and didn’t even argue. They may have got the seller more money and a few more pennies on their fees but it’s not how business should be done. Better to stick with high street agents I guess than serviced office ones.
