My parents once had an offer accepted on a house below the asking price, then a few days later the house was in the paper saying something along the lines of "offers over 80k". Needless to say they didn't pursue the purchase and luckily they hadn't spent any money on a survey yet.
:lolol: That's a cracking analogy.
The guy with "city trader" shirts and fat ties is EXACTLY the image which comes into my head when I think of an estate agent.
Yes I did see some of this, that guy in London really was a stuck-up w***er of the highest proportion wasn't he? The way the interviewer asked him if he ever worried about not selling a house and he just walked off.
The guy in Birmingham made me laugh when he carried on marketing that bungalow...
