viewing a house after making an offer

Old_Git

Present house I viewed a month before my offer was accepted .I arranged a second viewing the day my offer was accepted .My first house was a repo I had a second viewing after the offer was accepted .

So on our current house, I viewed, offer accepted.

Since then, I have lost count on how many times I have been back.. its a vacant property, the agent has keys and visits with me any time I like. We've had half a dozen contractors visits as well whilst they have been being estimating.

Sounds like this EA is being awkward, and should be more honest at what the reasoning is!

We went round to ours 3 or 4 times, ones initially, offer accepted, then a few times after the chain was complete

Last-but-one house we sold our buyers viewed five times for various reasons - measuring up, showing the kids, showing the parents, discussing the survey results....but on that sale our EA was one that didn't conduct the viewings anyway so it was down to us and as we work from home and didn't want to lose the sale we agreed each time

When buying our current house at the end of last year, the EA conducted the viewings and anyway the vendor had already bought his new house and moved out. We were moving 150 miles and for our first viewing we explained to the EA that we were travelling a long distance and assumed we'd have ample time to view the place thoroughly.

Instead we were rushed around and never got to see the cellar or detached garage. In fact after being shown round, we went out into the garden saying we'd like to have a look round the house on our own afterwards only to find when we'd got back from our perusal of the (quite large) garden, the EA had locked up and was ready to usher us out, saying she had another appointment booked

We actually called the office to complain on our return home, not that it made a difference.

However, after we'd had an offer accepted (following a more successful hour-long second viewing conducted by the manager) and went back to view a third time, the EA was happy to give us the keys and spend an hour plus at the house with a builder we'd invited to give a quote......

I have seen the flat i am currently 3 times (twice before and once after). in fact my solicitor recommended the third one after as its took a while for the sale process and suggested i see it again to ensure nothing has changed etc with the property prior to exchange of contracts. had no problem with arranging it with the estate agent
