Hi, posting for advice.
We are selling our house, there is the usual for sale sign in the garden as well as a large skip full of stuff we are getting rid of.
Was just sitting in the living room and spotted a random middle aged woman walking about my front garden. I opened the front door and she claimed that her son has booked a viewing with my estate agent and that he sent her over to 'check out' the garden because he has some dogs and they wanted to see if it was big enough? She then said that they wanted to see the house and that they were available to view it ? I said I cannot accept any viewings that are not booked through the estate agent and that they would have to confirm with me, she wasn't very happy and wandered off!
Is it just me or is it incredibly rude just to invite yourself to wander about someone's garden even if the house IS up for sale? I phoned the estate agent who have zero knowledge of this woman. Bit freaked out now.
Wondered if maybe I caught her eyeing up the skip contents and she made up a cover story?
