I have had my house on the market for 9 weeks now with no offers at all (not even ridiculous ones). Anyway, I had one yesterday finally for £30k under the asking price, which was a bit lower than I hoped so he upped it by £5k. This is still a bit lower than I had hoped for but said I'd get back to them on it tomorrow.
Anyway, in the meantime another bloke comes to looka t the house today. I was in the front room and saw him just march up to the house. I thought this was a bit odd because most people coming to view a house check out the outside before coming in. Anyway, in he came and the agent took him to the back of the house and showed him the kitchen and garden and then he showed him into the front room where I was and to cut a long sotry short he made me an offer that matched the higher one I already had. When I said that I had a matching offer he upped it again. I said that I'll think about it and he was going "Can I give you my solicitor's details" etc. I almost felt quite bullied by his approach and he also hadn't even been upstairs.
The agent thought it was odd and I can't help but feel that I don't want to sell it to him even tho he's offered me a good price, can move soon and I'm also sick of it being on the market. He just seemed dodgy as hell (tho he asserted he wasn't WTF?!) and when he left he jut marched off again - didn't look at the house again. Agent said to me that when he came through the door the first thing he said was "I've come to buy this house".
Not sure what my question is really but suppose just wondering if anyone else would have concerns about selling to someone who seemed so dodgy.
