DD is selling here house following an acrimonious divorce. She has found a lovely place and offer accepted. Now selling her house. Listed, advertised an a couple of viewings. She will be doing the viewings.
She has overheard that her bitter ex has been advised "to get a friend to get a viewing, put in a high offer to get accepted, strong her along for a few weeks, then pull out with the intention to make her prospective new purchase fail".
Absolutely shitty behaviour but when can she do to try to avoid this? Google, linkedin, Facebook due diligence of viewers sou ds a bit stalky but can anyone suggest a way to avoid getting taken advantage of? An honest buyer may suffer a situation leading to a genuine withdrawal of offer for legitimate reasons of course.
She's in Scotland if that has any bearing on it.
