We have been waiting for four weeks for an answer to our improved offer on a house (our first offer was refused and we improved it at a second viewing above another offer which was never mentioned to us until the end of the viewing). The EA indicated that it was a strong offer as only 5% off asking price. Two weeks ago they called to say that because it's owned by an organisation, the committee needs time to decide if to accept our offer. This morning we called and were told the EA will ring us back on Monday. Within two hours there is an 'under offer' flag on rightmove and it is removed from other property sites. MY DP calls again and ask the EA what is going on and the man refuses to tell him and shouts at him, telling to f off and wait for Monday call. I don't know if I'm paranoid but it seems to me they a developer lined up and they might want to sell to them rather than us. If the other individual offering is a family like us, wouldn't they ask us to better the offer? We are chain free and they know we can proceed straight away. What do you think? I'm upset because there is no other house we like and can afford.
