We smashed a low ball offer in on a place this weekend. well, i say we did - the EA now wants us to submit a "feasibility assessment" via their in-house credit checking bureau before they put our offer in front of their client, which is annoying because a) it slows down the process and we need to get a wiggle on and b) you'd think the fact that we've just sold our house using the same EA would give them a fair indication of our credit worthiness.
i was also labouring under the misapprehension that EA's had to put all offers in front of their clients by law, them deliberately holding up the process isn't acting in the best interests of the seller.
turns out the sellers of said property have already agreed to a buyer, but the buyers are dragging their feet and haven't made any attempt to move things along for some time since they agreed to the sale (not sure exactly how much time that means - i'm presuming a couple of months) so they've instructed their EA to arrange further viewings, which is where we came into the picture. They're either going to accept our offer with a bit of nudging, or they're going to use our offer as a threat to the OG buyer by way of lighting a fire under their arses. let's see.
