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.

Is it strange that I don’t want to give my contact details to the buyer?

Curiously, I still have the landline number that I first got around 1983. We've moved house 4 times since then.Davesnave said:

Our vender offered us her mobile number on our 2nd viewing, after our offer had been accepted. I’ve not had to use it, don’t want to bother them unnecessarily, but the vender is a lovely, down-to-earth person.2021 Fashion on the Ration Challenge - 66/66 coupons remaining.1

It was never a problem.That would be within the area with the same code. We got a completely new number here and the vendor didn't retain theirs, so I'd guess that was re-allocated eventually.Disposable email looks the best idea here.

I've given a landline number if necessary just to gee things up and with number recognition I can decide if I need to take the call.
After completion I have no need for communication and the only number they have is now no longer relevant to me0 -
We gave our new address to no-one, including our own solicitor. Redirected our mail. Job done.0
