Are they fishing?

We have just put an offer in on a repossesion property and the estate agents have just phoned (twice) to check our financial position and asked the size of hte deposit we have.
I thought they might be fishing to see if we could afford more ( this site is making me paranoid
)
They said that because it was a corporate client they would go with whoever was in best position. I explained our sale/purchase history- short version our buyer is ready to exchange within 2 weeks or seller pulled out, and gave them our solicitors details.
So are they fishing for info or is it different with reposessions?

Many of the companies we deal with when selling reposessed properties ask for proof of finance before they will accept any offers. The reposession company have a duty to obtain the best price, from the best buyer & will want to show they have done this. The agent is just doing his/her job & requesting the info their client has requested.0
