PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

Allrighty!

Ready for a ruck...!
Agent is Halifax and the seller is.... Halifax.
Errrrm. So I shall just be doing as I am told then.
Any body know of anything to help me swallow a large dose of pride?0 -
The relevant legislation under which agents are legally obliged to forward all offers without delay, discrimination or qualification is:
The Estate Agents (Undesirable Practices) (No.2) Order 1991
The only exception(s) would be where a vendor has provided specific instruction to the agent that (1) they will reject any offer below £x or, as perhaps in this case, (2) where the agent can cite the vendors agreement to their policy that they only pass on offers following viewings. However, the agent would need to show that they have the express agreement of their client or that this is a term of their client's contract.0
