We put an offer in on a property that has been on the market for 2 years and has now droppedĀ£85000.
We have a mortgage in place with an independent mortgage advisor. I phoned the estate agent yesterday to put in the offer and she tried to get me to make an appt to look at 'their' mortgages, I said I wasn't interested please just pass the offer to the vendor.
She then rings back this morning and opens with 'so i'm phoning to make an appt with our mortgage advisor when are you free?' I reiterated again that I wasn't interested and asked what the vendor said about our offer.
Oh well I haven't spoken to him yet, but we have had quite a few other offers so I want to get them all together before I pass them along . But I have to say you will be at a direct advantage if you have a mortgage through us .
WTF, she has had our offer for two days now, still hasn't passed it along and I now feel blackmailed that basically if we had a mortgage with them she would talk us up to the vendor.
