I've recently sold my late parents home, subject to contract. Sale going through nicely, chain is good and all I'm waiting for is probate to be granted in order for me to actually sell the home. So we are all on track
The buyer howler is such a pain. He's already asked for 4 viewings - and had them. However my issue is this ..
A few weeks ago he asked if he could have a key and wander round unaccompanied. I said no. So the poor estate agent had to trail round after him as he took more measurements and looked at things - god knows what - and he took up 2 hours of their time
Today he's asked for a key again. He wants to 'do his own survey.' Apparently isn't paying for one. So he wants access to the loft, he wants to check the boiler and look at the hive heating and take yet more measurements
Again I've said no to giving him a key but can I actually say no to a 5th visit? Is he taking the piss?
I don't want him in the loft, I have no idea at all if it's ok to walk around ( this is my childhood home but I've not lived there for 30 years!) and I do not want him standing on something or injuring himself. I do not want the settings messed with on the hive heating and same with the boiler. Just want it left alone. It's relatively new and works just fine and we have proof of that which he is aware of.
He just feels entitled to have a key when he wants and to do what he wants. He has accused the EA of ' obstructing him'
So.. is this a thing? Can he demand this?
Never known anything like it. He's very happy with the price of property so he's not looking to knock us down or anything. He's just feeling he should be able to do exactly what he likes
