NC for this one. I have a friend who I've always felt was rather nosey. She's the type of person to stop another mum at the school gates to gossip and 'casually' bring up a piece of information phrasing it as a question when she knows the bloody answer but just wanted to talk about it and get more details and gossip.

I was out to dinner with said friend and a couple others. We got talking about our ongoing house search, and I'd mentioned we'd seen one that day we were going to put an offer on. She asked a bit of info about it like location and bedrooms etc, and then right in front of me she whipped out her phone at the dinner table with all our friends, pulls up right move and says to me oh is it this one showing the house and price to everyone and having a nosey through the photos!

I couldn't believe it. In front of me!! I know that type of house info is readily available as are sold prices, and loads of people will look at others homes. But seriously, if she was going to look it up she could have at least have the decency to wait until she got home. I couldn't believe it. But I could as it's so typical her.

Sorry for the rant. This has just really surprised me. The cheek!

*You are odd.

We are all straight on right move as soon as anyone at work says they are looking at house.*

I think this is odd. Why? Unless the person showed me the house they were looking at, I wouldn’t think to actually go look at it. I don’t see the point but then I don’t care enough to go look at it. I don’t get the reasoning behind this.

Your address instantly tells people how much you have spent on your house. You are being naive if you think people don't know the approximate value of your home.
