let the time-wasting buyer go - put it back on the market for more...

The EA just wanted a quick sale hence 'cheap'

business is business -

Who says they're timewasters? Average purchase takes three months. We don't know why it's taken them 9 weeks to get the survey done.

The other house has not sold at a higher price. A higher asking price means naff all. They may find themselves knocking tens of thousands off the current asking price, or accepting a much lower offer.

I agree - get three other agents round fast - see what the average value is - check if you are tied into this agent - if not and the values are good - just pull out and re market the property - it's your house and your money and you never got a quick sale !

Good luck with that. As above, it's very hard to get a 'quick sale', despite people's promises. Average value is not sold price.

By all means start again if you feel it's best, but on your head be it...

Fat commission, little work.

I would be concerned if a) an agent didn't have a list of potential buyers on their books b) a property wasn't priced to sell.

Far too many stories on here of people whose property gets no viewings and / or no offers.

At the end of the day the vendor decides whether to accept the offer or not.

Totally agree with Thrugelmir, what exactly is people's problem with EA's having someone lined up? It's a good thing! If you were happy with the price then there is no problem. If the price is wrong, its your fault and no one elses, they didn't force you to accept and if you pull out now you risk massive delays in selling (which is fine if you aren't in a rush). Who knows what kind of buyers you could end up with next! Also, you could maybe get more, but if the mortgage company doesn't agree with a higher valuation, and assuming buyers need a mortgage you could be in a much worse place.

You were I assume happy before you saw this other house (which may not even sell at a higher price).
