Viewings after sale agreed ?

googler

Has the sale been agreed here (contracts exchanged, or missives concluded), or are we merely talking about the seller having accepted the OP's offer?

Unless contracts have been exchanged or missives concluded, I'd suggest that 3-4 viewings, taking parents along for no reason other than to see what their offspring have just offered on, is ... cheeky; even if the house is empty.

If the parents are genuinely part of the decision-making process, they should have seen the property before the OPs put an offer on it. If not, then if I were the seller, I'd deny all access post-offer until contracts or missives had been concluded.

Good question.

We had one in both places I bought and that was literally 20 minutes to measure up.

The sellers were ok with it but the agents were really arsey.

I think both times the guy who has sold the place had booked it on his day off knowing a junior colleague would have to waste an hour knowing they wouldnt earn a penny and would be out the office.

What you need to remember is that as well as your visit there will be a visit from your surveyor and poss one from the banks surveyor too so could end up being 5 visits.

It does add up.

Can they not see the house when you've moved in?

Last time we moved the buyer - although a very nice lady -wanted viewings and visits all the time, it was extremely stressful for us as my dp works nights, I was pregnant with twins, we had three other children and it was the scorching hot summer of 2003!

Plus surveyors, endless solicitor enquiries, trying to arrange our own move etc etc, argh! lol!

Go as many times as you like, you will be living there, you will be buying the the house.. It costs a lot of money buying a house, why should you feel limited to how many times you view it.

i totally agree.

OP you are spending thousands of pounds on this, nothing should be too much trouble for the vendor or estate agent. They need you more than you need them.

The EA wants the commission from your sale, something which they are not seeing a lot of these days. They should be most obliging.

Likewise for the vendor, they should be grateful for a buyer, such a rare species at the moment. Fearful of being gazundered they should be most obliging and helpful.

Personally if i got treated unwanted and they thought i was a nuisance, i might just pull out. Which is why i expect they will not treat you in this way.

Yes,moving is stressful. Buying /selling property is stressful. That's because so much money is involved and it's such a major, often life-changing, activity.

I sympathise that it hapenned at a bad time for you, but the buyer is spending £1000ks and determining the course of (probobly) the next 10 years of their life. They are entitled to time to make up their mind.

As pointed out above, they're not buying a car or a nice dress.

Yes but we were moving too, spending more than they were but we were able to be considerate and efficient when looking and buying?
