Best and Final Offers question

Can an EA lie about the number of BAFO's they've received?

I can't think of any actual law that they would be breaking, but (aside from the fact that the jails'd be full if we arrested EAs for lying) is there anything like a code of practice stopping them saying that there are 50 BAFOs on every house they're marketing?:rolleyes:

  • Do this.
    Make you Best and Final Offer.
    Get it witnessed.
    If you do not win.
    Tell the vendor what your best and final offer was.

    The EA may make the judgement that a lower offer than yours might have been better than your having regard to all the circumstances. e.g. To some one who could exchange contract and complete very quickly.
