One who will mess about and drop the price - some people do viewing just to be nosey - some think it's a week end passtime!

IF he asks for a further viewing - just refuse!! If he makes another offer - say NO! You don't need that kid of hassle

momma1701 · 23/03/2017 19:55

He's had two viewings and out in 4 offers now, finally gave in and reject his piss poor offer then this!?
Funnily enough we was ringing the EAs to tell him where to go when they told us this Hmm

What an absolute idiot!!!! That is just awful. Hope you can move n and get an offer from someone with more than one brain cell this time!

Can you not go joint agency with another EA even though you have a 6 week to end this sole agency?

momma1701 · 23/03/2017 20:56

Nope, unfortunately we're tried and she sent me a very rude email about our contract and dual EA can only be done after 8 weeks like withdrawing all together Angry even though she didn't tell us this at the time despite us asking her
We have been well and truly fucked over by all and sundry, anyone know how/if you can get out of contract by EA breech?

Tbh OP it sounds as though you are taking all of this far too personally and getting really wound up over every detail.

wowfudge · 23/03/2017 21:10

And - the house has only been on the market two weeks. What are you going to be like if you are in a chain that takes several months to get to completion?

momma1701 · 23/03/2017 21:10

It is personal, our life is on hold while he's fucking about with us so I can't help it really Confused

OP posts:
momma1701 · 23/03/2017 21:12

Being in a chain and waiting several months is something we've prepared ourselves for, not someone purposely trying to wind us up

OP posts:
wowfudge · 23/03/2017 22:01

Someone only winds you up if you let them. Imo you've messed him around, all because he tried to sound out the EA after their first viewing. Either an offer is acceptable to you or it isn't. You've created a situation where this potential buyer feels as though you are just waiting for a better offer.

momma1701 · 23/03/2017 22:07

This isn't the case, he was acting like this long before we decided to not go STC and we haven't even gone that far along yet, meaning our EA hadn't even mentioned this to the 'buyer' so this isn't even an issue to him, he doesn't know that's what we've told our EA, like I said we accepted his offer he then had to speak to his wife about it and has now decided things need sorting in his business before he can proceed any further on any house

RandomMess · 23/03/2017 22:17

Could you PM me with the name of the EA? I'm in the NW and NEVER want to give these people my business!!!

momma1701 · 23/03/2017 22:50

Random I'm on the app so I don't think I can, but from what I gather they're a big franchise around the Manchester area, that's where we are, they also advertise on the tv I've seen recently

Click the 4 dots and it gives you the option

momma1701 · 23/03/2017 23:00

Blush thanks!

Don't lose hope! We're FTB's looking in the Manchester area too and would never mess anyone around like that, we just want to find somewhere :(

momma1701 · 24/03/2017 12:00

Which area are you looking at? Where in Wilmslow we only want to move round the corner just upsizing but wondering if it's even worth the hassle!

OP posts:
user1479289699 · 24/03/2017 12:04

We're looking Prestwich/Whitefield - otherwise I would've said we'd come round and have a look lol! Good luck and be patient, it will work out in the end :)

momma1701 · 24/03/2017 12:06

Thank you! There's only hope haha

Even if I'd had an offer accepted I'd like to think they were trying their best to get me the best deal possible? As a buyer id think right we need to get this sorted asap.

I know when we bought our current home they still showed people around....and it was up for sale with a repossession company so I thought that was backhanded given our circumstances. But they don't care, which I accept. It's not like it was an individual though where the money would mean more?

This guys sounds like a complete knob I'm not surprised you aren't very keen.

momma1701 · 24/03/2017 20:22

We aren't keeping it on the market for anymore money and once surveys mortgage approval is back of course we'll take it off but we just don't fancy being fucked around again and missing out on potential buyers if he changes his mind (which I can almost guarantee he will or something will happen I just have a feeling) that happened last time with the other buyer, our EA advised us to take it off the market and not accept more viewing, one of which was a second viewing, and it fell through in a couple of days and the second viewers had found somewhere else, leaving us back with this dick Angry
It's the taking days and days to reply and not answering the phone in the meantime it just makes me think he isn't committed, I know if me and OH get a phone call of the EA for the house we want we answer straight away or ring them back as soon as we see it.
He owns his own company run by himself from social media and should always have his phone on him, shouldn't he?

Can you not get a friend to arrange a viewing? That way if they don't notify you of the viewing you can prove they aren't doing their job?

momma1701 · 25/03/2017 22:06

We rang them again had some very strong words and asked them to prove how they are marketing our house send us zoopla/rightmove stats, threatened them with refusing viewings till our term is up, since then we've had a boosted Facebook post and apparently they've had a few matches this week on their data base and now we have another viewing Wednesday. So it looks like nagging does pay off eventually!
Wether it will pay off viewer wise is a different matter.
Oh and Mr X has been back on and wants to proceed with his offer that apparently included the item in question (it obviously doesn't)

OP posts:
HarryPottersMagicWand · 25/03/2017 22:57

Tell Mr take the piss the only offer you will accept from him is asking price, minus the thing he wants and you will remove it from the market when he has had a survey and instructed a solicitor, and you aren't interested in negotiating any further with him so it's this or nothing. Irritating twat.

momma1701 · 25/03/2017 23:21

Mr take the piss for sure! Lol
We've said all this already told him to shove it, told him we aren't interested but by law our EA has to put all offers to us, don't they?
I'm sure she's as much pissed off as we are but she's pissed off with us both Grin
