How is a prospective buyer's "cash offer" qualified when they are homeless?

so on what evidence did you decide to "unqualify" the offer from a homeless person?

sounds rather like bias to me rather than any real knowledge of their position

Many people sell up and go into rented, camp, live in a travelodge or live in a campervan - it often puts them in a better buying position. So what if he was under a bridge with a sleeping bag - if he's got cash in the bank, so what?

Contacting you on your personal email address was wrong. I'd blame the online agents for that.

There is nothing to say an EA has to 'qualify' anyone's offer. If they do, it's often just an agreement in principle or sight of their bank statement. I can't see what else you would have expected. It's a job for your solicitor.

One in three sales falls through. If everyone avoided those houses thinking they'd had dodgy surveys, there'd be a lot of long term listings! The one I'm trying to buy has been listed twice before in the last two years.

I can't see what a local EA would have done differently.

For those of that have been on this board long enough - we're just grateful they didn't ask to park their campervan on your driveway :rotfl: (go on, someone dig out the link lol!)


Good luck.
