I know someone whose partner does not speak English as their first language. They went to see a house for sale and upon seeing a tap in the garden he asked the seller 'Do you have water in your back-side?" lmaooooo!!0

I don't know about funniest, but the stupidest question ever asked has to be...
Viewer: "So, what are the neighbours like?"
Me: "Oh, they're awful!! One of them plays the drums - badly. She has strange, suspicious looking male visitors in the middle of the night, and she has a dog that barks all hours of the day. The couple the other side have raging arguments all the time. The last few days I haven't heard the wife though, but I have seen the fella digging a deep hole in the garden...."

As long as you don't expect a straight answer, it is a really good question. You just draw your conclusion form how straight the answer is.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -
It's a great question IF the answer is honest! But let's face it, if you do have problematic/noisy/rude neighbours, the last thing you would be is honest about it! I would always say the neighbours were nice even if they weren't.0

When I was showing around my second floor flat, a potential buyer asked me how she would dry her clothes without a garden.
I said she could hang them in the balcony (which was huge), or buy a drier (kitchen was big enough to fit one in).
She left the flat saying "hmm... not sure I want to do that" Goodness know why she came to view a top floor flat?0 -
Perhaps she spotted that it didn't have a conservatory and she saw the scope to increase its value?Goodness know why she came to view a top floor flat?Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature.

Viewer: "Can I have your dog and some furniture with the flat? I really like your dog"
Me: "errr no! You can have some furniture but the dog is not for sale" !!!!!! some people are weirder than weird.If you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you always got!0 -
One viewer of our last place ask if we were leaving the gas fire. I suppose some people might take them out (my colleague took or binned every last scrap when she moved out, out of spite because the buyers dared to ask for a price reduction, although she did leave the fire) but it seemed like a stupid question to me as I had never dreamed of removing it!2011: [STRIKE]Houses[/STRIKE], [STRIKE]weddings[/STRIKE], [STRIKE]cats[/STRIKE]

Sure. But this should be a standard question on the written list that the buyer's solicitor will the vendor to reply to in writing. And there is an obligation to give truthful answers...0 -

Yes but only to the question posed which is generally have you ever had any disputes with the neighbours. If you have suffered on through 5 years of listening to your next door neighbours dreadful taste in music as it is blasted through your walls then you don't have to disclose this...unless you have reported them for the noise.0
