    Incorrect.
    Unless it's you defining "rejected completely" and not the estate agent or seller.

    "Rejected completely" means that the offer you made was not accepted and not close enough to warrant a counter offer.

    "Offer accepted" means the offer has been accepted, then the house is described as Sold STC. (Subject to contract)

    Sounds bit dodgy???
    Honestly, after reading your posts in this thread I think the seller is rejecting all your offers because they just don't want to deal with a twat like yourself and they prefer to deal with serious and prepared buyers.

    OK, so ignoring all your prejudices, etc, what did they mean by "not rejected completely"?
    Did you ask?

    Check with EA 2 if the house has had any firm offers on it. Call as an interested party who has not viewed it yet. Say you've seen it come on and off the market and are keen but wary and want to know the state of play.

    1. Last time this property was in the market for nearly 7 months and marked as 'sold stc' twice towards end of year as sales didn't go through, when asked EA they are clear it wasn't due to any survey issues.
    2. Property is marketed by 2 agencies, I was dealing with one of them from begining they are aware of my interest & position, haven't talked to other one
    3. Its not in London but South East

    Strategy-1 > Put an reasonable offer now (early) and see the response
    Strategy-2 > Wait for 2-3 weeks and if its still in market put the offer, so by that time EA/Seller knows demand is less
    Strategy-3 > Contact EA-2 with partner and start discussion from scratch
    Strategy-4 > ???

    Which could work..? BTW I am doing all kinds of reserach around propery in Rightmove/Zoopla etc..
    The reason the sale didn’t go through the last time could have been they increased the price again before completion. Look for something else, people like this do your head in.

    I must confess I sold all mine for Ether a couple of weeks ago when it peaked at 26 sats, got more Ether out than I put in at least.

    And if you want to be polite, contact your buyer to let them know you're not moving.

    You’ve not got a contract, and you’re now saying you don’t want to sell, because you’re unwilling to negotiate with the owners of the one and only house you want.
