I posted recently about a property we have offered on but the seller refuses to consider any offers until viewings have “dried up”. At the last count there had been 74 viewings and only one offer (from us).
We have kept this offer on the table but carried on looking as a result. Another house has come on the market we are interested in. Seller is refusing to take it off the market unless the price is binding and won’t be open to negotiation following any searches or surveys. So literally, they expect you to incur legal fees and pay for surveys to ensure there’s no major issues before they will commit to selling it to you and take it off the market. In the meantime, whilst you are spending money, they still want viewings to take place.
I mean, I know some vendors have daft ideas but isn’t it down to the agent to tell them that this just isn’t the way you do things?????
To clarify, I am a full cash buyer, want it done quickly and easily, not looking to price chip, just doing what normal people do and get a survey done to ensure no hidden major issues.
Am I being realistic and come across two nutty sellers (and one dodgy agent) or am I out of touch with it being “a sellers market” and they can literally just do what they want?
