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.

when we bought our house the ea wouldnt even put the offer to them, just kept saying not acceptable (already posted full details on another thread) when they hadnt even asked the vendors - when they did ask them we negotiated and then bought the house. ea makes less comission if the lower offer goes through'We're not here for a long time, we're here for a good time0

Unless the vendor has told the ea in writing that he will not accept offers of a certain type or below a certain figure he is legally obliged to pass them on in writing. See the Code of Practice I linked to earlier in the thread.0 -

Of course however, - some EAs will reject an offer straight away on the vendors behalf without consultation, if they know full well from prior discussions that the vendor would not accept such a low offer. In such a case the EA would/should communicate this back to the vendor0 -

Yep,that's fine as long as he had the vendor's instruction in writing. That's my understanding of the law anyway.0
