Vendors beware. Currently house hunting in Moseley. in a good position with no chain and mortgage in principle. Found a house. Put a starting offer in (7.5% below asking price). No response. Three days later chased up. Offer was declined as expected. No attempt was made to negotiate my offer up or make a counter offer on behalf of the vendor. Wrote back to say that I would be interested in hearing a counter offer from the vendor. No reply to my email. Not even an acknowledgement. Someone else in my office asked for specifics on another house via Zoopla website. Literally no response. On the upside have had no problems arranging viewings, and lady doing these was pleasant. Would give them another half star for that if I could.
