As a slight spin off, I’m interested in weird/strange/bad viewing experiences while house hunting?
When we were selling, we had a couple come and the woman waited in the car and the man came in which I thought was odd. We conducted the house tour and made small talk before he eventually told us the house was in a different city to what they thought and therefore they weren’t interested
my questions are 1) surely you’d know when you either looked up where it was 2) how can you get a CITY wrong (that are an hour apart) 3) surely you’d realise when you arrived (or halfway?!) it was wrong and cancel and 4) just say at the beginning rather than smile and nod the whole time!
When we were viewing the house we are currently buying, the single male seller had his mother conduct the viewings and he was clearly still slightly attached to mummy’s apron strings- we asked why he was selling and she gave a long story about how he was moving away against her wishes, breaking her heart and she didn’t want him to sell
I complimented the choice of tiles fittings etc (recent new build) and she said she had chosen everything
he clearly had a cat, we have two so asked about it to try and build some rapport, she said ‘yes we are currently looking after it while the house is on the market. We aren’t cat people’ gave up at that point
