Estate agents

At 9:52pm?

Estate agent so desperate for money s/he is working until 10pm to get rid of a property.

Given the current state of the London property boom I can imagine its true.....

And given the percentages many London estate agents charge its worth their time to work late....

What on earth are you going on about?

It's regrettable that you don't comprehend.

It's regrettable that you don't comprehend.

It's regrettable that you can't express yourself clearly.

Ignore the ethics of the agent for now. Is there any way the buyer can be incentified?

It seems unlikely.

incentify - Did you spell it correctly. Alternative spellings in the British English Dictionary - Cambridge Dictionaries Online

Assuming you don't intent to put the frighteners on the vendor, I suggest you offer whatever you need to and then gazunder an hour before exchanging contracts.

Yeah, do this ^

I did this once, not deliberately, but it resulted in the seller offering a significant price reduction. I still walked away. ***** them.

(Seller had kept on asking for an improved offers and we stayed in the race. Then there was some comment that carpets would not be included, contrary to our understanding, but could be purchased. I declined the offer to buy the carpets and it was at that moment I realised that we'd be drowning in debt if we bought the place, so I withdrew the offer and walked. Result: seller dropped price by £10k that same day. I kept on walking having explained to the agent that he and the sellers had taken me for a c*** once too often. It's one of the best decisions I've ever made).

Just how the **** accepted offers can be reneged upon without any penalty in England? That's a load of tulip - small venues ask for a deposit to have a party when you book it, why is it in real estate no such thing is required? I nearly bought my flat but landlord pulled out at the last minute - new person at banked changed their mind to sell at a loss couple of years ago - cost me over £1k in survey/legals
