Just found out we have lost out on a house we were hoping to buy, after EAs made it seem like it was ours, outright told us ours was the highest offer, etc. I don't understand why our offer wouldn't have been taken and when we asked they just say "the seller decided to take another offer". We have no chain, sent proof of deposit, mortgage in principle, etc. We even increased our offer slightly, despite being the higher offer already. I'm actually devastated, it was a gorgeous house on my favourite street in our town.
I didn't want to go in to meet their financial advisor until the offer had been accepted and I think that is the reason we didn't get the house as they hinted that next time they wanted to see more of us as "didn't get to know us" properly. I feel like I don't even need a financial advisor as work in accounts myself so I don't need hand holding to work out which bank is going to give me the best deal on a mortgage in return for hundreds of pounds.
AIBU to just be sick of dealing with EAs now? Weve looked at multiple properties over the past couple of years and I feel like you never get an honest answer with anything from them.
