  • Question for the Scots, are the estate agents legally bound by the sealed bids system ie. the highest bidder gets it for that price? In London it's used to create a frenzy and then extort a bit more from competing bidders. I got chatting to a developer the other day who 'won' a house for £1.2m but by the end of the day spent £1.7m to secure it. Daft bastard.

  • My sister sold her flat to a couple who offered less than someone who she was fairly sure was a BTL landlord.

    I think had there been more than £250 in it, she might have been swayed to take the better offer.

    I'm not suggesting she deserves a sainthood but the vendor can choose who they sell to.
