DH shouted at potential home buyer

A man came to view our house today and whilst showing him the master bedroom, he opened up my wardrobe and had a peep in.

I felt a bit uncomfortable but I'm desperate to sell so was gonna let it slide. Cue DH asking him 'what the hell did he think he was doing?' and 'what weirdo snoops through someone's wardrobe?' The man said he was gauging how much space there was but DH snapped back that 'the wardrobe doesnt come with the house'.

The man left abruptly.

We had an argument after, I thought DH could have politely asked him to not look in the wardrobe but DH said the atmosphere would turn sour no matter what was said to challenge the guy, hence he didn't hold back.

He also said I was willing to sacrifice my dignity to sell the house and should have more self respect which I found hurtful.

Who was BU, and WWYD in that situation?

Our flat came with a huge set of IKEA Pax wardrobes, but my husband never would have helped himself to looking into them without first knowing they came with the flat.

So it's weird that guy did so at your house and I don't blame your husband for saying something to him, most wouldn't have the guts.

God this is weird. It's a buyer's market par excellence at the moment. Your potential buyer just learned you would both be a frigging nightmare to buy from. No skin off his nose. Good luck getting someone to pay you hundreds of thousands of pounds.

I can remember looking in fitted wardrobes and the airing cupboard when looking around the house we eventually bought. If the vendor had been showing me around personally I wouldn’t have done that though.

Why isn't the estate agent showing buyers round?
