AIBU to find these house buyers and estate agent rude?

[Echocave]

Ok, firstly I admit I am a bit oversensitive but am quite annoyed about something that's just happened. I bet I'm being unreasonable but hear me out.

We are selling our house. Due to complete in 4 weeks' time. I'm happy to be moving but still feel quite attached to this house at the moment.

We agreed our buyers could come round at a set time today to measure up. I'm not quite sure what the rush is but anyway. I made clear in email to agent the time was due to babies' naps ie a string hint there'd be someone in.

At the agreed time, I had just got kids up from nap and there was a noise in the lock. The estate agent let the couple in. I called down from upstairs that I was waiting for a knock and was a bit surprised. I was smiling and trying to be nice but felt a bit irritated she hadn't even knocked first. Estate agent (why do they always let themselves down?!) didn't even say sorry properly.

Buyers then come in and start measuring everything. Weird but ok. The man is measuring fridge door when I come into kitchen. Doesn't even look up to say hi.

I told estate agent the blokes already got a letter for him here (seems to have put his address as ours on utility bills already).

Woman doesn't even say hello either or goodbye.

I know this is a real first World problem but AIBU to think all three of them were rude?

We are in the process of moving - have exchanged but not completed. Much to my embarresment (despite requesting otherwise) our buildings insurance documents were inadvertently sent to our new address. When we picked up the documents from the vendors we found more post in our name - from the water company! We had not contacted anyone other then buildings insurance (legally required for exchange) and we have no idea how our water company got the details, and why they would have transferred the new account without us requesting it. That's on my list to do today, and explain to them that we haven't actually moved yet! If it makes a difference neither our current or old property are metered.

When we moved I stressed t to everyone I dealt with that we weren't moving until x date. I still had insurance documents, curtains and letters sent to the new address before we cad completed. I was mortified but it seems that a lot of companies, who must surely deal with people moving all the time, are clueless about these things. Virgin were a nightmare trying to get Internet and phone set up to seamlessly transfer. And John Lewis delivered a bunch of stuff two days early, despite paying for named day delivery. It was embarrasing and annoying, but not at all intentional.

Also, it took our new furniture, curtains and cooker more than 4 weeks to be ready from ordering. And we had the floors refinished which needed someone in to look around 6 weeks before moving date. So I don't think they are being too hasty about things. If you're getting anything made to measure or want soemthing that isn't kept in stock it takes time.

The buyers and EA were rude in your home though. I would have been thanking you for letting me in to measure up, you don't have to do it. And it's just polite to be friendly to people you are in close proximity to, even if they didn't owe you thanks (which they did).

Some v interesting points here. As I've now calmed down a bit (!), the post thing bothers me less, it's just the not saying hello thing I think. Although I do take the point the buyers might have been trying to avoid me...!

I think their actual rudeness would lead you to take the post as rudeness too when it might or might not have been meant that way.
If they'd said 'Hello, lovely to meet you, so sorry about the post' I doubt it would have bothered you a bit!

Tunip, that's exactly it I think
