Re: Whinging Pom House seller
Hi Guys,
I think I've managed to catch up with all your posts!!
Now I can bore you with my story of this afternoons' viewing....
Well, back in June, we accepted an offer on our house from this couple. Then they tried to push down the price further and after 3 weeks pulled out. Grr. On Monday, I had an email asking if the house was still for sale. I emailed back to say it was and we would consider a reasonable offer from them if they were still interested. Yesterday I had an email to ask if they could view again today.
Anyway, the woman came to view - the husband has NEVER been. She rushed around in 20 mins and seemed to have forgotten everything about the house. (If I was intending to buy a house I would remember more than she did.) Then she said she was going to see 2 more houses this afternoon. I couldn't get any information about why she wanted to come back to view apart from it was to refresh her memory. How I stayed civil and didn't punch her for letting us down I don't know!! :curse::curse:
I have come to the conclusion that she is an idiot. She doesn't know what she wants and her OH is just humouring her. So it was a waste of an afternoon not to mention all the time spent cleaning.
We have another couple who said they we very interested and were going to do their sums, but we haven't heard from them for a week. Do you think I should chase them and say we've been contacted again by the buyer who pulled out??? Or should I wait a few days to see if we get a new offer from this idiot woman??

It seems to me as though everyone is suffering. My advice is if your not in a rush, hold out. If you are, then, well, eh.... your buggered!

might as well chase that other couple - cant remember if you are using an EA? if you are then get them to give them a call - they can make just a causal 'see how things are going' sort of conversation.
At least your house is tidy for the weekend - that is what i keep telling myself!
