No opportunity to make an offer
We re house-hunting on the island and spotted a property of interest to us online We knew the location well are cash buyers and ready to proceed immediately We called the agent to book a viewing but were told the earliest they could do was the following Wednesday So we accepted the appointment arranged another ferry crossing and travelled down the day before While en-route we got a phone call from the agent cancelling the viewing as the property was now under offer We were astonished We hadn t had the opportunity to view the property or make an offer We could easily have come down earlier and had the means to bid well over the asking price if necessary We fully accept that it s the vendor s call as to how many viewings to allow and when to accept an offer but we would have appreciated better service and communication from the agent
