Viewed a house a month ago, loved it and put in an offer, but vendors went for a lower cash offer. Fair enough. However, it has become apparent that the estate agent 'misrepresented' our position and told the vendors we weren't immediately proceedable. Would you approach the vendors with the correct details and another offer?

So you’re has direct communication with them?
Why would you now write a letter to them?

Why don’t you try reading the thread?

Here’s the situation

Op says she was misrepresented in first post. No indication as to how found out.

In later post it’s because the vendor told her and they are furious

Op then suggests whether she should leave a note with her offer

My question is - so in direct communication with vendor with no EA involvement

So please tell me what I missed @Twiglets1

I'd put a note thru the door outlining your offer. See what happens. If they're genuinely fuming it could be that they missed out on the higher price, or the cash buyers have turned out not to be as good as they were made out to be. The cash buyers may not even have got as far as a survey yet - we had to wait 2.5 weeks for the surveyor to have availability, then another 1.5 weeks to receive the survey! Then several days to read it in detail.

It has already been explained how they found out and why they are considering writing a letter.

Yes, I would definitely approach the vendors.

Heythere13 · 12/04/2022 18:15

Yes they found out because vendors told them

So obviously there’s direct communication between op and the vendor

So why the need for a note and not just communicating with them as they already have done?!

And who contacted who first? And why?
