  • I’m probably missing something really obvious here, and this is only really for the sake of argument as I’ll be meeting with a broker to get all this sorted out soon, but couldn’t one simply lie if asked about an AIP? Am I being very naïve in assuming an Estate Agent wouldn’t insist on proof (and therefore indirectly call one’s honesty into question) in this situation?

    I think in the meantime for viewings I’m going to make a fake wad with two tenners and an old phonebook to have poking out of my shirt pocket, and maybe stick the folder I have from an outdated AIP under my arm.

  • You could lie, but most agents will want that proof as soon as you make an offer. If there are two offers on the table and one has an aip already they are not going to go with the person without one.
