    Being an ex Estate Agent, there are all sorts of tricks that go on to get the best deal for Vendors!!

    I would go to the houses direct and knock on the door and see if they have received your offer, if not offer on the other one you were gazumped on, but offer a lot lower!!

    Do not believe a word these Estate AGents say, trust me!!??!!

    Aren't ex agents as bad?

    Nope, they're like ex smokers or ex junkies. Been there, done it, possibly not proud of it but at least you've come out the other side. Unless you are now a used car salesman enyway ;)
