Angry Estate Agent

As someone has already said, the offer was a bit cheeky. You knew the asking price and you spent a lot of the EA's time on it. My advice would be, if your budget is so far off the asking price, then you enquire early on as to how realistic its chances of being accepted, at which point both you and the EA would then save a lot of time.

Perhaps the EA wouldnt have so much of his time wasted if he had sensible asking prices on his properties - just a thought.

If some one comes into a business shouting out the odds and trying to upset other customers then a business owner has every right to evict them from the premises.

Not by means of physical assault - in such a situation the correct procedure is to request that they leave, then call the boys in blue if they refuse.

on the other side of the coin, the OP has not necessarily offered what the house is worth, he has offered what he can afford to pay.

I would also be rather cheesed off if someone viewed my house several times then effectively said they are only offering x as that is what they can afford.

Everyone assumes all houses are overpriced, this is not necessrily the case, even with houses that need work

Any house is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it and in this case the buyer feels its value is £66k.
The sooner sellers realise that their properties are mostly overvalued the sooner the market will pick up.
