  • "They have already accepted an offer, but the buyer is struggling with getting a mortgage, so if you are quick....."

    If an EA came out with that line then my reply would be along the lines of "So if I bid for a property you are marketing you will still proactively try to get me gazumped? Bye!"

    Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. The one where you showed us Dithering Dad is a complete liar. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE Forum Team

    Shame is Andy, I don't think any of the loser types on here will believe you. Last week I was planning to view a property, been on for a week, bit pricey compared to others I thought but worth a look. Anyway jumped in the agents car, and on the way round there he had a phone offer for double the asking price!! Well, I didn't believe him, so we turned back, and now I can confirm it's on the land registry at that price. I wouldn't have minded paying double, it was the lack of belief that cost me the purchase.

    From anecdotes 'r' us - tagline - we'll make it and fake it so you don't have to.
    I am not lying mewbie, . I am just saying what happened. I agree EA fabricate the truth, it is there job to. I dont expect all people who are wondering wether or not to buy a house are gong to buy one on the strength of my story.
