Estate Agents
I put in and offer to rent a property and I wait while the landlord considers my offer. Since she was considering(Read, buying time for a better offer), for two days she must have thought about it and had no better offers.
Agent phones me and says that in order to proceed I need to increase my offer. So I ask why has she had another offer?
Agent says no, but landlady will not be able to pay her mortgage so I must offer more. So I said my offer stands, if its the best she has she should take it. The fact that the rent will not cover her mortgage repayments is not really my problem. I could hear the agent making a long face in the background.
WTF! If the ladlady overextended herself, does the agent really expect me to pay over and above the market rate to accommodate the landladies financial requirements?
