So - I have a shared owndership property that I'm trying to sell. It's been a long process but we finally have a buyer.
There was someone else who was interested but hadn't sold her property, and was quibbling over the asking price (fair enough). Anyway, I bumped into her today in town and said hello, and did she know our house was off the market now. She said that she could never have afforded our home as it was so overpriced... she went on to say how she's had a really low offer (15k below our asking price) on her much bigger house and that I should count myself very lucky that I have a buyer at all, never mind one that's prepared to pay such an extoritonate price. Now what grates me is that she has known from the start that I have absolutely no say in what price my property is marketed for - it's a surveyor who determines the price.
I just came away thinking how rude she was and wish I'd never spoken to her. When she was interested in the beginning, I was honest and polite, answered all her questions and let her have a really long viewing at short notice at her convenience.
Luckily I don't have to have anything more to do with her but she seemed so angry and rude today, I wasn't prepared for it.
Anyway, well done if you've got this far - I feel better for ranting!
