and when selling a house "Go and MEASURE the garage and make sure you put that in the details"

Hehe, I did see an ad on Rightmove a couple of years ago which actually stated that the garage was only really large enough for an Austin 7 :rotfl:

We were asked ''at what time do your neighbours close their garage in the evening?''. The concern being thta the couple liked to go to bed between 8-9pm and didn't wish to be disturbed after this time. Goodness

In rural Wales, I asked a vendor why the chalet that his brother had lived in "for several years" had a large trap door in the floor.

I was told that the brother was terrified by the thought of a fire and wanted an escape route.

It seemed fairly obvious to me that any window, or indeed the door, would have sufficed for this purpose, but I just nodded wisely and said something like, "Ah, of course."

"How is the balcony accessed and maintained?".

We had no balcony at the time. :rotfl:

'Via a basket suspended from skyhooks (included in sale).'

I was verbally asked, rather breathlessly, and spelled out:

"Are there any G - H - O - S - T -S ..... ?

I did 'successfully' provide one minutes later....

I was asked by a viewer if I would mind if he took his shoes off and sat on my sofa for 5/10 minutes to get a feel for the place and to see if he could visualise himself settling down in front of the tv for the evening - didn't get chance to respond before his shoes came off...thank god that's all he took off! :rotfl:

:rotfl::D these are keeping me sane whilst my buyers stall with more classics

I was very tempted to reply to 'Do you issues with parking?" with my reserve parking is a bit iffy, but if I can drive straight in i'm fine.

I brought a list of questions downloaded from the internet to ask when I first viewed my flat, and one of them was whether anyone had been murdered at the property. Well, it was on my list so I asked. I don't think the estate agent was expecting that one! He never did give an answer either... Hmm...

I was asked by the seller if we wanted the floor polisher (to maintain the glorious parquet) - yes please! Right, said she, she'd try to remember to write out some instructions as it had it's quirks.
The parquet got covered in plywood sheeting so the builders couldn't hurt it, the floor polisher disappeared during renovations and we never did get the instructions.
It warms my heart to see children on hands & (padded) knees, polishing though. The youngest outgrew nappies just before curling a giggling child from one sibling to another could have got a lovely gloss up...

One of our potential buyers asked whether we had a 'compass' she could borrow as she needed to determine the position of 'every' room. I had a quick root around, but couldn't find one. The lady then retorted that she would have to make another appointment to view, that it was essential to have such information, and that she was quite cross that she had forgotten to bring her compass. Fortunately, she didn't return
