One of the part of the process I ftse little tricky was dealing with agents. They will ask you for your price range, they will say they could show you properties that aren't already listed. Although, that could be true I wouldn't want them my maximum price if I had to negotiate over a property. I would advise be prepared to say I don't want to tell you that if they are persistent in asking. When I was negotiating with an agent, he was telling me that he was going to negotiate on my behalf and get the best price. I had to tell him that he had obligation to get the vendor the best price and he couldn't negotiate on my half. Perhaps he was trying to be helpful, but be prepared to be clear and firm with agents. I suggest avoid verbal offers and submit any offer by email. I did end up buying the house after all!
That’s great advice! It can definitely feel tricky dealing with agents, especially when they try to get your maximum price range. Keeping that information close to your chest is a smart move. You’re right about being firm with agents too - they do have an obligation to get the best price for the vendor, so it's important to manage those conversations carefully. Submitting offers by email is a great tip as well, so everything is in writing and clear. Congrats on buying the house in the end!!
