  • When an offer is made, what is the next step or 2?

    I put in an offer over the weekend and received an email this morning saying

    we have received several offers so far and the seller has asked me to get best offers from each proposed buyer.
    When placing an offer on a property through us we will ask for the following :~
    Proof of deposit and Agreement in principle. (or proof of cash funds).
    Solicitor details to be given the same day.
    A member of our in house Mortgage Services team to contact you and qualify the offer. (This can take place in branch or over the phone)
    If successful and a survey is required then for that survey to be booked within 7 working days. (Countrywide surveyors available and a referral will be made to them on your part unless otherwise advised)

    Is this right?

  • Walk away. We had a similar experience with the scummiest estate agents in Walthamstow. Every property they had went in to closed bids like this with all these requirements. Places usually went well-over asking as a result.
