Oh so that's what that is all about then?! I'd seen that a couple of times and thought it was rather cheeky (and put me off that estate agent a bit to be honest). That makes a bit more sense, rather than blatantly encouraging gazumping!JGB1955 said:

There's an obligation on the company that's repossessing the property to obtain the best possible price on behalf of the party that are in default. Not simply a question of disposing of as quickly as possible. Though as costs and interest mount expediency is paramount.Hedgepigs said:
