Yes, I think agents are very practised in telling both sides what they want to hear. My niggling concern is that if this buyer does make an offer and we start down that path then we won't engage a new agent and generate new interest, and it won't be so easy to just kick them to the kerb if they start messing us around. That said, we've got an option for moving in with relatives rent-free in the place we want to move to, which means that the only real problem with delay is stamp duty coming back in.
I’m sure the estate agent will have already lied to them on the sellers behalf.
We viewed our place ‘off market’ and surprise surprise there were ‘competing bids’/interest
