    Right this is war

    Gazumping guys? A few Questions.

    1) Is it ethical?
    I will answer this. No . But in the East London property market I think ethics was dropped as part of business conduct long ago.

    2) How do you appraoch the agent?

    3) If you let your intention be known, how much more do you need to offer to get the seller to reconsider?


    4) Would you guzump someone?

    1) It may be a nasty thing to have done to you but it's not illegal and if someone offered me more cash for my property, I'd be tempted to take it.

    2) Call him

    3) You have to make it worth the extra hassle involved. If you can show that you are a cash buyer or have no chain then that is a good bargaining chip.

    4) Yes

      Are we actually living in the 80's again? All the fashions are back (with the young'uns anyway), everyone's on coke binges, and now gazumping's back!

      If only I still looked 16...

      Edit: Oops - yes, definately call the agent and get gazumping! You only live once lad!

        Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time
