So she'l come back in a week and find 3, 4 (however many) interested buyers with offers. She can then either accept one or start a bidding war.

Meanwhile she is relaxing on holiday while all the boring viewings take place.

As the property is empty (and perhaps with no mortgage) she is in no hurry so can take her time.

Sounds emminantly sensible to me.

I HATE you!!!!! I HATE you!!!!!! I HATE you!!!!!!

Oh, hang on a minute...you're right

There has been no other offers. The place is a 40's time warp so EVERYTHING needs doing. According to the EA there has been other interest however when I first viewed she did not know how to get into the place.

I was told buy the EA she goes away for the winter. This is 2015 you could have a phone call. And if you get a offer on holiday you can have a few extra beers!

Looks like Mr TB is a little out of their depth with this house buying lark 😄

Was yours the first offer?

I was thinking that low balling your offer wasn't that shrewd since you're desperate and other people are taking an interest.

But if yours is the only offer so far then maybe you're in with a chance.

Oops, sorry, cross posted - took too long correcting the autocorrect!

I was told you can always go up but it is harder to go down.

Not really just find it annoying that you hit a brick wall with stuff. I just want everything to run smooth as I live 200 miles from the property I can't just pop round to sort any problems. And if this is the attitude of the vendor, what happens when I want a survey done? Is she going to be available? It could be a huge ball ache. However I want the house and would pay full price I just like to know where I stand.

Such is the world of buying and selling houses - I've moved 5 times (on my 6th mission now) and we've had every sort of problem with vendors and buyers on each one - I am expecting much of the same with this one. From lying people determined to mess you around to people ringing my EA every day to chase progress and then when given an exchange date claiming we were rushing them!
It really does bring out the worst in people!
We set our hearts on a property that had had no interest for 2 yrs then on giving the seller an asking price offer he decided to sit on it for a week and we ended up with someone else viewing and outbidding us - such is life.

Even if you got your offer in as soon as the estate agents opened yesterday it's been little more than 24 hours. You're being far too keen ....

She doesn't need to be around to let a surveyor in - that's what she's paying the estate agent for.

Given that it's a probate sale, for all you know she could live 200 miles from the property herself

Also, she may have to run any offers through siblings or other relatives who are due a share of the estate.... you;re going to have to learn to be more patient
