Thanks for this! I shall do just that.Irishpearce26 said:
Not sure you can with covid restrictions. I wouldn't, I would let the EA take him round so he can be relaxed, would be hanging around close by so I could say hello at the end and ask if he has anymore detailed questions.Mmarsenal22 said:
Looks like this will be my bank holiday project! Thank you very much! Would you suggest one of us be in the house for the viewing to answer any of his questions or should we leave that to EA?Irishpearce26 said:
Congrats.Mmarsenal22 said:So the buyer was adamant on paying 250k. We reduced the price to 250k because we thought more people will see it if they are looking at houses at 250k on right move. That will be our final reduction. The guy came back after seeing the reduction in price with an offer of £255k which we have now accepted woohoo! The developers have also given us £5k off the asking price.
I really cannot get excited at all though; the buyer has yet to see the house in person. His daughter came to view for him and did a video tour for him. He is coming on Wednesday to view himself. How seriously do I take this buyer? He has give the EA his proof of funds and solicitors’ details.
I would see him as a serious buyer, his daughter viewed it and did a video tour, proof of funds and made an offer shows he is serious. Wednesdays viewing is him getting a feel for the place.
Make it as inviting as possible for him, declutter as much as possible so he can see the potential.0
