    does an EA have to give you an honest answer to a direct question e.g. how many other viewings has this house had

    An EA can not give misleading information, they have to answer all questions relating to the property honestly. The number of viewings is irrelevant, how many offers have been place is important.

    Just re-reading the post, have you offered before seeing the property? Also is the property empty or are the people still living there?

    i've sais 191000 and that's it (5 o'clock viewing didn't show). I've had enough of them now. If someone else wants to pay more then "fill yer boots" i'm not going to stop them.

    I've found my chrystals

    if they want that bit more, as they are builders , how about saying you wil pay X amount but would require A,B and C doimg first, you have said above that a few things need updating so this would get it done for you without you having the hassle when you're in situ and ge them a sale.

    If you make an offer, you should wait for a response. As you have said, you may be bidding against yourself. Ask for a response within XX hours.

    They probably would not respond unless you were in a position to buy. Have you got as house to sell? If so, would they take it in part ex?

    As for the price that the buiders paid for the house. If they paid near £200K, I bet the former owners paid top whack for their new home.

    Good luck!
