How well do you know your fellow off topicers?
Simple if gay Idea, put whatever you know about the person you are replying to in your post.

Alt: Person you've not met yet IRL but would like to.

I'll go with Swipey as she was the last person I replied to in t'other thread. She's a high flying property Lawyer with a Merc, she has an uber-hot boyfriend who she is starting to find dull, she is also a Tory but somehow manages to be a nice person none-the-less.

Alt:Darth, he seems a rather nice chap, but it seems this may never happen, see also: Noel.

Blousie is chock full of awesome win.
She has a nice house and a sex dungeon, and is coming up to play at the weekend.

Alt: don't know. I've met most of the ones I would want to meet. Maybe Roota. Or FlimFlam.

I don't know many off topicers well, but all I have met are really quite splendid.
Even that old cunt Monty gave me hug when we met. Quite a disturbing experience, I can tell you.

Alt: I would like to meet Chompy, as I am running short of paperclips.

EDIT: Jeffthedogfucker would be great to meet, he must have an outstanding collection of comedy on DVD.

evening
i hear you shag goats

I'd like to meet b3th and darth, I think. Probably others, too.

here's a question - if you put in an offer on a house and the agent says there is another offer, are they probably lying?
(, Thu 22 Sep 2011, 17:10, Reply)
Quite probably.
If they keep calling you up and telling you that the other couple are very very interested, then I would imagine they *are* lying.

On the other hand, if you've already put the offer in, then maybe not.

Hmmmm.
Sounds dubious. Especially if the signage hasn't been changed to 'under offer'. But what do I know?

You could try 'This is my absolute limit, if the other offer falls through, call me' and I bet they'd be on the phone within a day.

If it was under offer
I'd expect the website to be updated, at least. Do they have more than one branch? You could try phoning a different branch to enquire if there are any offers in on the property.

Another offer and "under offer" are different things
Offers are tentative bids - under offer implies that a bid has been made but is not necessarily to the owners satisfaction, a bit like the auctioneers "any advance on...?"

Rarely used these days.

There's no guarantee that you'll pay more for the place, and they could lose you as well, if you think you can't afford more and take the offer back.

Provide proof of finance
It's all very well making a bingo-bonanza offer. People do that to hold a property then worry about the finance later.

If you can prove now that you can pay an owner might be interested. No-one is obligated to take the highest offer, especially if it's founded on dreams.
