    Son has his eye on reposessed house, going up for sale in 2 days. He's been advised through this site to put his offer in writing to the EA's and also send a copy to the seller ( BS or Bank we presume), but they wont tell him who the seller is. They say all business has to be conducted through them and the vendor doesn't want any contact with the buyer until an offer has been accepted.. He isn't trying to bypass them,he just wants to make sure that his offer actually makes it to the sellers. Whats his position?
    The EA doesn't have to disclose the seller...

    ... but you should find the details of who has repossessed the property on a notice attached to it :rotfl:

    Land Registry info is available on line in a matter of moments as long as you have a charge or credit card to pay the £3 to £6.

    Here is the link:-

    RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.
    Read the sticky on the House Buying, Renting & Selling board.
