This property I am absolutely besotted with has been on the market since August 2016. It's now March 2017 and I only just saw the property a couple of weeks ago on Right Move and called up the estate agent straight away. They told me about two previous offers on the property - one was rejected, one was accepted but the mortgage didn't go through. This was a few months ago.
Anyway, so I go in and make an offer and suddenly someone else has made an offer and apparently 'the vendor asked for me to be informed of this other offer'. I find this hard to believe! How is it that months after there is no interest in the property, I make an offer and someone else puts in one the exact moment after?! (It literally was the exact moment after, the estate agent called me to let me know.)
Unknown to me, a short while later my sister had also put in an offer (we're moving in together) and basically the whole process got a little muddled as we were both basically putting in the same offers! I clarified and told the estate agent it was lack of communication between my sister and I that caused the mess, I apologised and told her we were basically one in the same and were looking to buy the property together.
A couple of days letter she told me the property has been sold. I asked how much the property sold for and the estate agent refused to tell me... is she lying that the house is sold because she thinks/assumes my sister and I were messing around?
Thank you.

Is this estate agent lying to me? Can a EA reveal how much a property sold for?
