Ryder & Dutton - Huddersfield

Shocking..made an offer for a house on scar lane sales assistant Oliver who called me back and told me that my offer had been ACCEPTED l then returned my proof of funds ect arranged for a solicitor all ready to go..two days later Oliver the sales man called me to say that it might take longer for the sale to complete because the vendor needed to sort out probate and had two more viewings for the house at the weekend ?? Oliver said that he would not be able to speak to me for a few days as he will be on annual leave ( very convenient) a few days later I got a call to say that a higher offer had been accepted for the house and the house had now been sold I am sure gazumping is not law breaking but I do ask is this good business??
