Sounds like they will do a private sale to the 'friends' to avoid EA fees and/or they've set a price which is tax 'advantageous' with the balance being a wodge of notes stuffed into a jiffy-bag.
Ah yes if the reduced sale price put them under stamp duty then you could probably be very evil and send a letter to the bit of the government that ensure stamp duty isn't avoided and point out you've been gazundered in this way.
Might not help you get the house though

I remember those days!
Yeah, it always seems to be that someone will forget any loyalty and go with the bigger offer, so this one is pretty strange! Who wants to lose £8K at this point in time?! If it's a friend though people do the strangest things, however I don't know any friends that would give me that good a deal on anything!0
