Blame the house programmes for that one! I was watching an old house programme from 2002 - the house's decor was horrible - it wasn't even mentioned. My first house was horrible but totally livable - I didn't really notice it was horrible - lick of paint needed was all I thought.

But now, you watch the house programmes and perfection is expected. Decor has become a problem. People now expect this.

Your right they are viewing houses and complaining about the decor,best part of owning a home is making it how you want it.
They wanna house and do nothing to change it, or at least as i put it make it your own.

Some of the properties I'm viewing have had similar approaches eg. 160 with offers of 100 on it :rolleyes:
The EA is still obliged to pass them on however unless instructed by their clients regardless of the offer, and I'd highly doubt that every client had set a floor.

Perhaps some EA's are also being a sticking point??
Aint got the balls to tell the client the price is too high in case they lose them from the books. After all, someone might make a high offer and take it. The EA has nothing to lose.


I'm looking at a place which has had internal flood damage and suggesting to the EA that the vendor decorating it on the cheap is not in either of our interests.
The pictures on rightmove are about 18months old!! Not really fair representation.

I'll be looking at 20% off asking and someone will bite at that or the market is still FUBAR and waiting will adjust it correctly.

The EA claims he is acting in the best interest of his customers,to some extent i agree,he claims realistic reductions are possible in line with LR drops to the area.
The SIL has not told BIL what the EA has said,lol.

That's quite funny actually, people must expect that the wallpaper on the house to last them for 50 years or their lifetime!

Whilst I agree with you, it's still the vendors decision to tell the EA and not for teh EA to assume he can interpret the rules and regulations.
Jeez, there are little enough of them as there is!:rotfl:
