Offer Accepted, Property still on Market

[Gumbo Robot]

EA told me property was coming off the market when offer was accepted on Friday. Property still showing For Sale on RightMove & EA's website.

I smell a rat...

Would you proceed with the mortgage application & survey under these conditions? I can see myself getting gazzumped & a few grand going down the drain.

[WTFH]

Contact the EA, ask them. You might find it takes a few days for them to update their website. You might also find they are waiting for confirmation that you have the money sorted out - if you haven't started applying for a mortgage then they will not want to put all their eggs in one basket waiting for you, so they might not push the property, but they also won't take it down.


Worth asking them, not a bunch of contractors.

I would post a rant on CUK, wait to be gazumped, then post a further "woe is me" post on CUK.

Then post on CUK when you start the house hunting process again.

At what point do you take yourself off the job market? Just sayin'

This guy just makes these stories up for general amusement yes?

I have asked the question & I was told it was coming off the market. Don't really trust EAs that much TBH.

Never been gazzumped? It's a painful experience...

Have some balls. You need to throw your weight around. Contact the vendor if you can and tell them the EA they are using are going to lose them their house sale.

They've got the word "Agent" in their job title, what do you expect?


Did they ask you for two previous houses that you've lived in, just for reference and not so they can try to sell them?

Phone them up or get a mate to do so and ask them for a viewing. If they say yes, time to kick off. If they say sorry it's not available then you know they're just slow to update the site.
